Thumbs down

It's come out, the emergency landing his jet made to rush him to a hospital was for a drug OD.

Prince's jet plane made an emergency landing in Moline, Ill., last Friday due to a medical emergency. His rep told Variety at the time that the singer was struggling with the flu. Doctors gave Prince a "safe shot" after he was rushed to the hospital, something reportedly given to counteract the effects of opiates.

Just another junkie in the end. I was never really a fan but totally admired his guitar skills. His tombstone should read - Too much money, Too much fame, All that talent, Down the drain. BURMA SHAVE.

I really miss them, as a kid I just couldn't wait to get to one I seen before to try and remember the next sign before we got to it. One of my favorites...
He saw the train
He tried to duck it
Kicked first the gas
And then the bucket
Burma-Shave
Once the Interstate Hwy's came it didn't pay Burma Shave to pay farmers to have the signs on their property, just not enough traffic to see them. One more good clean family fun thing that didn't cost us a darn cent gone away. Take your boy to a ball game and be prepared to shell out $200 - $300 with a couple dogs , soda's and beer's. Sad ain't it?
