An aside: if I'm going to post something from Chris Cornell, I have to post this tribute Norah Jones played for him in the same arena he played before he died. Go and be haunted for a bit. It's okay.

Also throwing this one out there from another musician we lost too soon.
Also worth noting: Purple Rain is hard to play, you guys.
Of the tributes to Prince right after his passing, this one stood out to me. Very understated but appreciated moment from this Pink Floyd show.
I HEAR THE DISTANT THUNDER HUM...
The Ernie Pyle Hall erasure in this list is almost as bad as it was in Bloomington.
Yeah, I'm that old.
Counterpoint: Zola Budd did not participate in this race.
With the number of music greats we lost in 2016, it's all too easy to forget the amazin' blazin' Sharon Jones was among them. #Prince didn't forget her when she was here.
I missed the Musicology Tour when it came through Raleigh in 2004 because I had out-of-town plans. I made up for it 7 years later by going to the Welcome 2 America shows twice in one week, but I do sometimes wish I had gone to THIS party. #Prince

I convinced our local blues dance organizers to turn our regularly planned April 17 dance into a Purple Party in honor of Prince. It didn't go quite like I had hoped, but I had fun DJing it.
This was my set list for the 1st part of the dance. I had more planned, but I was asked to slow it down.

Looks like the Hoosiers are beating Ohio State and Alabama again. Got a long way to go to win THIS Big Ten title, though. #CharitibundiBowl
Please, Clint Dempsey scored a goal in a World Cup with his dick. That keeper needs to get up and get on with it.

Who replaces him?
Well, shit. #Everton
Jack Grealish hobbles into the locker room at halftime.) DAVID MOYES: You're back early. GREALISH: Finch Farm’s haunted. MOYES: What? GREALISH: (Pulls two guns out of a bag in his locker.) Finch Farm’s haunted. JORDAN PICKFORD: You need two, then? GREALISH (Walking out): The other one's for Andros. ANDROS TOWNSEND (Offscreen): Finch Farm’s haunted!
#Everton and injuries for the last decade.
The more I watch Dwight McNeil, the more I hear Erykah Badu sing, "I think you better call Tyriiiique..." #Everton #EVELIV
Beto deserved that goal. He's worked hard today for #Everton.
No argument here. We need to send him on properly in the next transfer window.
A healthy Jack Grealish would have been helpful today, but, y'know, Finch Farm's haunted.
