Between Prince and Bowie, I'm just... :face: <--so sad

Prince was amazing. Such incredible talent. Wrote good stuff for others, too (e.g., Chaka Khan).

Sirius XM is having a tribute channel (ch. 50) through April 29. It's awesome.

If you want to cheer up, play "Baby, I'm a Star" from Purple Rain at full blast.

Sunday sucked. The day started with the news about Jose Fernandez, and ended with the passing of the legendary Arnold Palmer :(
