So young. That's crazy. "Flu-like symptoms" could be almost anything, I guess. That guy could play the hell out of a guitar.

Anybody who saw that halftime show a few years back may recall at one point him strutting down the runway thing they had there out into the crowd, his guitar just kinda dangling, and right when his solo is to hit yanking it up and just nailing this awesome run.

I remember thinking during that half-time show that every superbowl needed 3 Prince guitar solos.

Here's my big Prince mystery. What happens to his Tele at the end of this song?

A true magician on the guitar. RIP you crazy motherfucker. I wonder if we'll ever get to see/hear what's "in the vault" now.

I still don't fully understand how it came to be that I watched the Superbowl that year, but I'm glad I did. Heh, I remember the Jehovah's Witnesses specifically called out Darling Nikki as what's wrong with the world, so dude joins them.

FWIW, my fave guitar workout from him is, "The Cross".

But hear him do a version of "Evenflow", azz instrumental ...
