Thread title says it all. Music legend Prince (who loved to play pool) just passed away. I grew up listening to his music as many others did. He was also an avid pool player.
Rest in peace.

Shane, any idea how good a pool player he was?
No idea Rich. But I have read before that he loved to play pool and based on that picture and his bridge on the rail and the vertical position of his right arm, it seems like he knew what he was doing. Either that or the photographer that setup that picture was a pool player

:frown:

In any case, Prince was cross-eye dominant.
Right hand player who utilized his left eye to shoot.
Here are 6, non-pool related, minutes well spent. Watch his solo at the end.

LOVE this performance. Watched it many times. I think everyone loved Prince but only some bought his albums. I only had the Batman soundtrack which he wrote the score for. Batdance!
When I saw his solo in the tribute to George Harrison(While My Guitar Gently Weeps), I was blown away. I knew he was a talented player but he "owned" that take.
That's the link I just posted too...love it.
This makes me feel old.
I suppose there's something about an artist dying -- who provided the soundtrack to your life -- that, forgive the pun, strikes a deep, resonant chord.
I recall being stationed overseas and, at private Air Force parties around Madrid, pilots and nurses would play "Dirty Mind" and "When You Were Mine" in their cramped, sparsely furnished, rented apartments and later Purple Rain's" "Lets go Crazy." Yes, we were hogtied by innumerable military regulations but in our hearts we were young, wild, and not just a little bit horny. What could be better that Prince lasciviously belting out "Darling Nikki"?
RIP Purple One.
