Some celebrity deaths just hit you hard.
Hank Williams, Buddy Holly, Patsy Cline, Elvis, especially Elvis.
For me, and probably for all of us who were teens in the 80s, Prince was our Elvis.
It absolutely shocked me to hear that he passed away today.
When I look back at those teen years of mine, Prince is there.
My cousin had his poster, she went to see his movie, she played all his songs 24/7.
Having different parents, I was not allowed to do any of that, but when you share a small house, it’s impossible not to hear one’s boom box.
Purple Rain, Love's Baby Soft, Sweet Valley High-that's the 80s.
We've lost a lot of celebrities this year, and so many played a role in my childhood.
Prince Rogers Nelson
Born: June 7, 1958, Minneapolis, MN
