True, 1/10/2016...

While we're on the topic:

Prince: 4/21/2016

Michael Jackson: 6/25/2009

[–] eatthecake@lemmy.world 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Michael Jackson never felt real so his death didn't change anything for me, and he was no Bowie

[–] kubica@fedia.io 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I see, another moon walk denier.

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 years ago

I thought this comparison between Michael Jackson and Bob Fosse pretty eye-opening. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LE_TYTxRxg

[–] Fandangalo@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Both of them are idols for me: they were enigmatic musicians who defined themselves and loved by the world for doing it. They bucked against fashion trends. They spoke openly about their views.

I did drag for the first time that year because I didn’t want to be on my deathbed with regrets for not doing it. We raised money for kids with HIV. It was super fun.

I miss both of them.

Almost 10 years ago... Get this... after he died they found this METICULOUS collection of unreleased music literally locked in a vault. All marked and labelled, just... never released.

Estimated at 100 albums worth or 8,000 songs:

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I hope it all belongs to his estate and that they don't just whimsily sell it to a label who would greedily milk it for every penny without any artistic integrity.

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

https://princevault.com/index.php/Unreleased_Songs

"little is known about the exact amount of songs recorded, although a few figures have circulated in the press. This enormous unreleased catalog of songs was stored in a huge safe vault in Paisley Park Studios (In 2017, it was reported that tapes were moved from Paisley Park Studios to Los Angeles, California for cataloging, storage and digitization by archive company, Iron Mountain, on behalf of the company appointed to administer Prince’s Estate, Comerica Bank & Trust.)"

And after he died the wold went to shit. Think about it.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 9 points 2 years ago

Pretty sure the world was going to shit while he was still alive.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He might have been cool but he was far from a good person.

One thing I give him is that he was on point with "I'm afraid of Americans."

[–] fiendishplan@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

who said anything about him being a good person?

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You made the direct statement that the world became worse after he left.

[–] 4oreman@lemy.lol -2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

ok but he was nowhere as horrible of a person as you

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

There was an organization for underage groupies that brought underaged women backstage of his shows for decades, and he reportedly did have intercourse with at least a few of them. He was a pedophile.

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

So is Epstein and Hitler, whats your point?

[–] 4oreman@lemy.lol 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

keep going, you have a long list of people to go through

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Mao Zedong, known pedophile

[–] 4oreman@lemy.lol 2 points 2 years ago
[–] FrickAndMortar@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 years ago

That seems like too long; I feel like I’d like to see him back again.

[–] Sergio@slrpnk.net 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Lemmy from Motorhead died around the same time. I know bc my BFF died around then too.

[–] eatthecake@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

I'm sorry you lost a friend, life is hard

[–] finitebanjo@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I still listen to "God was never on your side" pretty regularly. Really vibes with me.

[–] watson387@sopuli.xyz 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Don't remind me. I'm in a foul mood already.

[–] eatthecake@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

It's the best selling shooooow Is there life on Maaaarrraarss

[–] thisguy1092@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Why are his pupils different?

[–] VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

He got punched pretty hard once, if I remember correctly. Went pretty well, got a killer look out of it.

[–] thisguy1092@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Certainly unique!

[–] Scuzzm0nkey@lemmy.world -4 points 2 years ago (2 children)
[–] JimVanDeventer@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Anisocoria. His irises are the same colour but one is always dilated, making it appear darker.

[–] thisguy1092@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Ah. Thank you

[–] thisguy1092@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Doesn’t that mean different color eyes? Not pupil size?

[–] superduperpirate@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I loved the picture of him and Tilda Swinton doing drag impersonations of each other

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 5 points 2 years ago

Stop the earth I want to get off. 2016 was almost a decade ago??? 😭

Also wtf is going on with his eyes here? Is he concussed?

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

He's always had that awesome looking eye.
