I'm still shocked. He died in his home, but all alone, in an elevator...
Listening to his songs all evening.
So many brilliant songs most people don't even know, like "Positivity" (from LoveSexy) or "Joy in Repetition" (from Graffiti Bridge) or "Insatiable" (from Diamond and Pearls - one of his many great power ballads about love and sex).
Pro-tip for owners of LoveSexy (one of his best albums - unfortunately he decided to release it as one track version only, meaning the whole album is in fact only one track on vinyl/CD/download and you can't listen to the 9 different tracks separately or skip back and forth between them; imo this caused this great album to be overlooked in the long run): http://prince.org/msg/7/346113 (instructions in forum posts 7 and 18 on how to separate the songs on the LoveSexy album on iTunes - works flawlessly, I just did it with my ripped CD)
What makes his death even sadder for fans like me: He made himself already disappear when he was alive. Because he wanted to.
Unfortunately this means that it's nearly impossible to watch or post one of his own live concerts or even old MTV videos (he decided to let anything erase from the web already years ago), but watch Prince stealing the show from 03:27 onwards in this otherwise tame live version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps": https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6SFNW5F8K9Y (the young guy behind Prince is George Harrison's son Dhani). The end of the video is hilarious. Like a boss.
Still waiting for reactions from his former associates (Wendy & Susanna Melvoin, Lisa Coleman, Sheila E., Eric Leeds, Bobby Z., his two ex-wives etc.). They must be devastated right now.
