Some people don't let the grass grow under their feet.
I get morbid humor, but is there such a thing as "too soon"?
They made jokes about the space shuttle crash.
Why did NASA change it's soda machine? They couldn't get 7up.
Or, what did the reporter ask Mrs Lincoln after the play? "Other than that, how was the play?"
I made one up myself. President Lincoln goes in to a breakfast joint, the host asks him where he wants to sit, Lincoln responds, "Anywhere away from a Booth".
Yea it is sad for the fans I am sure, but damn death is still part of life and no part of life should be taboo outside face to face situations. But yea, this one is already floating around today.

I looked at my Aunt D at the graveside service for one of our relatives and just said "while we are here . . . "
That's all it took for me to get slugged with her purse.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I feel bad for creasing at this, but it is funny
Seriously though, sad news. Quite shocked actually, he wasn't old. Said he died of flu-like symptoms or something, pneumonia maybe?

I though Zika was benign in living people though and just caused birth defects? Guess I was wrong

Prince was an enormously talented musician, IMO. One of the best around.
I desperately tried to get concert tickets to a few years back, but it sold out in less than 10 minutes; I was fucking devastated.
And I am today.
Shit.

I liked him well enough in the 80's and 90's. Never got much radio play time after that and kind of dropped off my listening radar.
It's a damn shame!

Zika very seldom kills adults. It messes up babies something fierce. http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2016...-stay-safe
Aretha is a great singer but she's batting zero on medical advice. But she tells a great story.

Here's some sound medical advice: Get your flu shot every year.

I had West Nile 18 months ago. I can see vividly how something could be suddenly fatal and you wouldn't have a chance.
Having said that, let's wait for the coroner to weigh in, it literally could have been anything.

Holy crapwaffles. Did you really? Did you get the neuro symptoms? Were you hospitalized? I have thought this very same thing when I've had the flu. WNV is probably a bazillion times worse.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.
