The flu kills thousands each year. Jim Henson also died from the flu. If your immune system is compromised, it can be a death sentence. It's hard to get over quickly even when you're healthy. I hadn't had it for over a decade, and last year it put me out for almost two weeks. It's no joke.I think more people die from flu complications per year than AIDS
I wasn't personally a huge Prince fan, though growing up in the '80s he was everywhere. My first real exposure to him was the Batman soundtrack...and that probably contributed to my not being a huge Prince fan. Absolutely one of the biggest influences in music of all time, though. I play guitar, and he's one of the best guitarists I've ever seen. His fingers don't even seem to touch the strings when you watch him play. While My Guitar Gently Weeps from the 4:00 mark on is a good example.
RIP.
