Passing of Prince, and Vanity

Sad to hear that Prince died yesterday. He was actually younger than me.

Another person died this year at the same age whose passing I thought I had mentioned but didn't, Denise Matthews, Vanity.

I was never a huge Vanity or Prince fan, but I always liked them on the radio or in the movies, whenever they would do something I'd pay attention at least in passing, "Oh, that's Prince" or "Look, that's Vanity."

This is Vanity at the Copa in Toronto. There's a skyscraper there now.

The way the news is playing Prince's death today, it looks like they're trying for another Michael Jackson-style blowout. It's very sad.

The poor guy died, leave us alone for once and let us remember him, eh?
