clearvision Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Supposedly his beliefs did not allow him to take medicine. I don't know if this is true or rumor but, nature is not kind in general to life and humans have learned alot along the way to ward off what killed many early in life. Those that insist natural is the only way some times have things go very wrong. Bob Marley died at 36 from a spreading cancer from a toe injury. He refused to have the toe removed early on when diagnosed because it was against his beliefs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geee Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Prince Wrote America’s Best Patriotic Rock Song You’ve Never Heard America’s two greatest patriotic pop songs of the rock and roll era were released within two months of each other in 1985. One you know: James Brown’s “Living in America.” The other — “America” by Prince and the Revolution — deserves to be lifted from obscurity and showcased as one of the great musical tributes to the country that managed to produce both James Brown and Prince Rogers Nelson. Jimi Hendrix played “The Star Spangled Banner” like no one had ever played it before, and Ray Charles sang “America the Beautiful” like no one had ever sung it before. But they didn’t write those iconic songs. Remarkably, both Brown and Prince released new patriotic masterpieces in the final months of the first year of Ronald Reagan’s second term. http://thefederalist.com/2016/04/22/prince-wrote-americas-best-patriotic-rock-song-youve-never-heard/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
