An attorney said Prince had agreed to an intervention for painkiller addiction the day before he died.
Prince’s death came less than a week after his plane made an emergency stop in Moline, Illinois, for medical treatment as he was returning from an Atlanta concert. The Associated Press and other media reported, based on anonymous sources, that Prince was found unconscious on the plane, and first responders gave him a shot of Narcan, an antidote used in suspected opioid overdoses.
Gah. What a waste.

Did I get this wrong or was it the guy who was supposed to do the intervention who found the body in the elevator?

ugh that sucks
from what i understand it's not hard to od on fentanyl - it kicks in REALLY fast & can seize up your respiratory system if you arent careful
we've had a spate of od's in Sac in the last year. (Diff set of circumstances, they were being sold as Norco to recreational users/addicts etc, it wasnt a doctor situ)
emt friend said though that if you are used to other types of painkillers & you switch to fentanyl it can be dangerous

i've been seeing a lot more ppl coming in for detox that have been using fentanyl --- it might be cheaper/more readily available than H or pills, but Prince wouldn't have really had a problem with either, i would think

I could imagine Soundgarden doing a wicked version of 'The Cross', yeah. Surprised that U2 have never covered it, actually! It feels like Prince's version of a late '80s U2 song.

well someone is clearly in a position to do deals for his music, so its odd that everything is still there on youtube.
"Prince withdrew his music from streaming services in 2015 to sign an exclusive deal with Tidal. He told Ebony: “When there’s a company like Tidal or the OWN Network, situations where we finally get in a position to run things, then we all should help.”
yes, that struggling entrepreneur jay-z could definitely do with a helping hand.
wonder what tidal pays artists.
― StillAdvance, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 14:20 (seven years ago) link
so you don't understand why Prince was interested in supporting large music/entertainment companies with black ownership or leadership? nobody running a major corporate entity is "struggling," that's not the point.
― Dierks Bentley's Holistic Detective Agency (some dude), Tuesday, 7 June 2016 15:01 (seven years ago) link
i get it.
its just that jay-z has been 'running things' for quite a long time. more power to him, but he didnt just get into a position of power.
im not a huge jay-z fan, thats all.

after finally watching that madonna tribute properly, i dont get the hatred for it. shes not the greatest singer, but it was undeniably heartfelt, which counts for a lot. there could have been worse artists to do it.

this should be interesting. though janelle's version of lets go crazy is pretty horrific.

Oprah isn't exactly an underdog either! are we only supposed to root for labels and music companies if some cool 20-year-old who just released a great debut album is running it? because that's not going to happen. Prince was coming from the perspective of seeing black musicians making huge amounts of money for an industry run primarily by white people and wanting to see more black executives and owners. it's really not that complicated. xp

from what i can tell, tidal pays rights holders 0.007 cents per play. it looks like that's more than 5 times what apple pays, more than 6 times spotify's rate, and over 23 times what they make from youtube.

good to know. i should probably check what an artist would get/would have gotten from radio plays too to compare.
― StillAdvance, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 15:31 (seven years ago) link
yeah i imagine radio royalty rates are much the same as they've always been but i'd be curious what the numbers look like

his first interview - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0MXqmUCN9U&feature=youtu.beor at least the first one in circulation. im guessing this is where the idea of him being half-italian began.

What's everyone's favorite Prince album from the 2000's onward? I think 3121 has aged incredibly well. Art Official Age is pretty excellent too.

in order, based on memory rather than hearing them recently - rainbow children, 3121, art official, musicology, MPLS sound, 20 ten, planet earth. never heard the NPGMC compilations, and didnt care much for the third eye girl projects. NEWS is a masterclass in why prince shouldnt make jazz albums.
