I smell cake!*
WOW! It’s been a crazy past couple of days. There have been three actors and entertainers who have passed away recently. Actors and entertainers we grew up watching/listening to have been passing away.
Prince (Prince Rogers Nelson) (June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016)
Joan “Chyna” Lauer (December 27, 1970 – April 17-20, 2016)
Doris Roberts (November 4, 1925 – April 17, 2016)
I wanted to share my favorite songs by Prince. I grow up listen to his music.
- “I Wanna Be Your Lover” (1979) (Click Here for Video)
- “1999” (1982)
- “Little Red Corvette“, “Delirious“(1983)
- “When Doves Cry“, “Let’s Go Crazy“, “Purple Rain“, “I Would Die 4 U” (1984)
- “I Could Never Take the Place of Your Man” (1987)
- “Thieves in the Temple” (1990)
- “Diamonds and Pearls” (1991)
I have to go with the first song that I ever heard by Prince:
If you want to see/hear what an amazing guitar player Prince was, you need to watch this video of Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne, Dhani Harrison and others — “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”. What talent that man had.
I saw this quote. If Eric Clapton, who I think is one of the world’s best guitarist says this… WOW!
Eric Clapton was asked about how it felt to be the world’s best guitarist. His response: “I don’t know. Ask Prince.”
R.I.P. and thank you for leaving your legacy for us to always have.
Notes:
* My brother, Joe and I would always say this to each other after someone famous died.

“My Cake” is the sixth episode of Scrubs’ fourth season. J.D.’s father dies and he and his brother Dan have to cope with it.
