Dying of a drug overdose is closer to Kurt Cobain than it is to John Lennon.
I don't think anyone is giving Prince "a pass". But the point is everyone makes mistakes, even stupid ones. It doesn't diminish the sadness I feel when one's poor choices lead to them dying.
Having recently lost one of my best friends in death (bad circumstances, and he just wouldn't take care of himself in spite of our efforts to help him), it still hurts even several months later. I could waste my energy blaming him for his poor decisions that ultimately cost him his life, but what's the point? He was responsible for his actions, and he paid a heavy price for it.
No I agree Prince’s death was sad and unnecessary. I’m sure he did not INTEND to commit suicide. If there IS an afterlife he’s probably pretty pissed at himself right now.
But as Dr. LeFrog pointed out, one does not end up with counterfeit Vicodin if going through legitimate channels. One does not check oneself out of a hospital after collapsing without accepting some responsibility. One does not get one’s medicines prescribed to a roadie.
Nobody to blame but Prince John Rogers himself. His family’s sad attempts to blame Walgreens and the Trinity Medical Center notwithstanding.
it is what it is
there is no debate here
I know that Robert has no regard for God's designation of blood as sacred. He has no regard for God at all according to our many private interactions, and that is his choice to make. So it is not surprising that he would come out against holding integrity toward God. Everyone makes their own choice regarding their long-term future.
there is no debate here
Either one holds God's opinion in the highest regard or they do not. It is a personal choice and no amount of debate will change that fact.
Why is it whenever someone mentions an artist that was clearly progressive (yet not the Symph weenie definition of Prog) do certain people feel compelled to snort "thats not Prog" like a whiny 5th grader?
Getting complaints here. I think this has been pretty played out now and is just becoming a circular debate. RIP Prince.
WANTED: Sig-worthy quote.
