I know this isn't Gatch-related, but I just heard that Prince passed away this morning. His music was such a big part of my teenage years and beyond, and I'm just heartbroken. http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/04/21/475133745/a-death-is-reported-at-prince-s-paisley-park-estate-in-minnesota?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=morningedition&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20160421

Sad news indeed it has been such a bad year for celebrities passing!

WHAT? Arg!

This is what it sounds like when doves cry

Isn't it amazing how someone you've never met had such an impact on your life?

Purple Rain helped me get through high school. Each afternoon, I'd go straight to my room, grab the Walkman, and let the music surround and completely envelop me until I was ready to deal with the rest of the world again.
