Not at first strike. And it rarely happens because women are smart & actually have self control, unlike men who look for any reason they can to justify striking a woman.
Prince physically attacked Sinead, therefore she has every right to protect herself as the weaker sex & she should have laid that sexist scum bag out.
He is now formerly the artist formerly known as "the artist formerly known as Prince."

And now thousands of people who yesterday couldn't name 3 of his songs suddenly claim to be hard core Prince fans & severely impacted by his death. Barf.
absolutely, 100% false. guy was responsible for >70% of songs played on the radio in the late 80's. he had either written them, produced them, or sung them. y
Although some of you may not be a fan of Prince but you got to give the man some credit. He wrote a ton of hit songs for other artists:
“Manic Monday†– The Bangles
"Nothing Compares 2 U†– Sinead O’Connor
"How Come You Don’t Call Me Anymore†– Alicia Keys
"When You Were Mine†– Cyndi Lauper
“I Feel For You†– Chaka Khan
“Jungle Love†– Morris Day and The Time
"Round and Round†– Tevin Campbell
"Love Song" - Madonna
"Pray" - MC Hammer
“Love… Thy Will Be Done†– Martika
"The Bird"- The Time
"The Glamorous Life"- Sheila E
"Kiss"- Tom Jones
Did you? I still see the (?)
But, I thought women were completely equal to men? I've been told by the media, my feminist friends, their feminist friends, etc. that women are all-equal... battlefield ready to go!!!Sooo, are you disagreeing with the feminist movement? I believe in non-aggression principles, btw. I'm just pointing out your point of women being physically inferior to men.

Gotta love LRC, a thread about some dead Jehovahs Witness bloke who sings and writes songs gets high jacked by some lunatic man hater who thinks women are inferior.

I do give the guy credit for the amount of p_ssy he must have gotten, though. Gotta respect that...
If he did in fact die from aids it would be more accurate to say the p*ssy got him. But yeah, he did do a good job of reinforcing negative black stereotypes.
Sad day. If you looked at the music I downloaded Prince would look out of place but I thought he was great. He took a lot of chances and was a innovator. As far I know he never did commercials like a lot of these so called artists today.
2016 has been a rough year for musician deaths.
Prince, you will be missed...but remembered.
Blessings and peace to him, his fans, co-musicians, friends and family.

You're not exactly making the case for his greatness here....

Is there actually proof that he hit her? Or is this she said, he said? Sinead has a history of mental instability so who knows if he actually hit her. Do you have proof?
Early Prince was friggin awesome. I didnt care for much of his stuff after Purple R.
Dirty Mind and Controversy were so damn raw and good. I couldn't figure him out though. His music was like nothing else. Black guys were doing soul or rap back then, he was something else, not quite pop, not rock, just funky, dirty affecting music.

he would look out of place because he was a legendary copyright NAZI who sued a little old lady for millions of dollars. Can't find him amongst much downloaded music.
A little old lady! Millions of dollars. Guess the millions he already had weren't enough.
Not to say he wasn't a great musician, no argument there.

That has to be one of the most entertaining things I've seen in a long, long time. I hope he's at peace. What a legacy..... and what a great time to NOT be a famous musician.
A classic !

It's not stealing. Copyright is an archaic concept invented to protect material publications that had intrinsic market value due to the expense and labor of producing and distributing them.
Digital distribution of music involves no labor or expense at all and has no intrinsic market value. No service is performed, and the only reason anyone pays for it is because the laws still say they have to, and because they're too stupid to ignore the laws like most people already do.
Studio musicians have got to admit to themselves that they, too, have seen their jobs taken away by technology. Recording is easy and distribution is easier. Nobody has the "right" to be paid for it anymore.
There's actually quite a bit more to copyright law than this^.
It also involves unlawful use, and that still has value today. It's illegal to use a song (for example) in an ad for a product of service without permissions/royalties. As it should be.
You think music should be just given away freely then?
