There goes my day. I am bummed. Hit songwriter, arranger, bandleader, incredible musician and performer, bad ass guitarist, weirdo, he fought the industry, he could ball, and all his songs were about sex. I admire a lot of people in music that are just one of those things, Prince was the total package. And he also brought people together. I was just in line at the grocery store as a homeless white guy in his 50s told me and two old black ladies and we all looked each other in the eye like one of our old mutual friends just died. It’s too much ain’t it? Not only all the great losses but the feeling that nothing even 10% as good is ever going to replace them. And I’ll never forget the final song of the first Beer Barge being Purple Rain and how it was like the end of a great movie we were all in.

Bio
Blog and social media writer at KratomScience.com. Freelance writer for hire. I do blogs/social media for small business, and also freelance quasi-journalism for donations. I've written about my travels to the 2016 Democratic National Convention, a Trump rally at Oral Roberts University, and an MLK Day Iraq War protest in Washington DC in 2003. I'm best known for my viral Craiglist ad "Alcoholic Guitarist..." I've toured around the country with a band and I was a farmer for seven years in North Carolina... in that context I attended the 2008 Slow Foods International Conference in Turin, Italy. I've been a guest on KDKA Radio in Pittsburgh and 105.9 The Edge in Tulsa.
