The death can not comment on it. Why he overtakes the one person earlier than the other, is to the chagrin of all but his thing. And also that he liked to, once gained momentum to bring one after the other, one can only deplore consequences. The feeling does not deceive, that things get especially sad this year. The list of famous dead every week longer by a legendary name. Since the rapid departure Lemmy was shortly before the beginning, the simple upset at the Münzmaschine its common premises. This would have still come to terms without complaint at the lifestyle of the bibulous Godfathers of Heavy Metal. But it was followed by David Bowie, who was diagnosed with cancer, the actor Alan Rickman, Glenn Frey of the Eagles, which for Germany momentous Roger Willemsen and Roger Cicero – it is mainly pop stars and now Prince
That. which currently dominate the sense of loss has less to do with the statistical clustering of deaths in 2016 than with the fact that death, the final end, something is unnatural for the pop culture. It is applied in structure to repeat. Especially the music industry produces in its fixation on the new a type of hero who, not to be forgotten and replaced by newcomers, constantly released new songs and albums. And his creativity ebbs from once and it disappears for a while, you celebrated his return as a comeback. That a Pop would not have to worry once for supply of news, and were there rumors about his sex life, in this world of collective identification with its stars a shock.
Who’s been socialized by pop music, and the applies to all generations, since Elvis had the effrontery, as a white truck driver the blues song “that’s all Right Mama” to sing, feel along the lines of an endless continuation. Because pop hits are no one-off gifts. They are part of one, in that they are so firmly connected to stages of life such as the memory of this itself. Therefore, a culture of State expresses his sorrow over Prince ‘sudden death with the remark that, he had fallen to the music in his wife.
to mourn a pop star, means that a bridge of one’s own past is canceled. It is as if you deprived of access that one has in one’s youth transfigured. For Prince likes are all the more because his career accompanied by the invention of the word superstar. He, Michael Jackson and Madonna were in the eighties the triumvirate of pop era, which emerged from the fire of a meltdown. Perhaps for the last time, it was possible the wild, original elegance of the black soul and R ‘n’ B to connect to the white rock. Miles Davis recognized the early and designated Prince even as a mixture of James Brown, Jimi Hendrix, Marvin Gaye and Charlie Chaplin. “How can you resist that?” Asked the jazz trumpeter.
In fact, Prince was a brilliant musician, an exceptional phenomenon of technical skill, especially revered by those who live on tradition arches. In his songs, the entire spectrum of black music seemed on and spilled in heavy metal riffs like ripples in a jellyfish swarm. In addition to the music itself helped him a formidable marketing machine to global reach. The music industry had begun to sell lifestyle.
Only Madonna could save halfway unscathed from the effects of cant and twist. When Michael Jackson in 2009 with 50 years died of his drug addiction, you looked in dismay at a cut from its roots life. Prince responded in its own way no less disastrous to the fame. Its always already strongly pronounced dictatorial entity that had him his plates virtually single-handedly to register,
With a shudder one recalls the tirade against the record executives, the Prince, the its debts not turned into megalomania. more got to grips with it scolded, trying to take away his artistic freedom. He had been the one who had made, even though he had never cared about economic concerns to Vice President of the board multinationals. When he tried to flood the market with more and more own songs at ever shorter intervals, he called for the trial of strength – and subject
followed shameful appearances of a man who presented himself as a misunderstood genius and as “Artist Formerly. known As Prince “or” symbol “styling allowed. He looked like a man who no longer understood himself. But his instincts functioned. He took with his desire not to let merchants decide with their PR budgets over the amount of his records, but the collapse of the system by only a few years in advance. The Internet was the better medium for him.
Still, he had after losing his privileges considerable effort, even just to make a good record, with his earlier masterpieces “Purple Rain” (1984), “Parade” (1986), “Sign’o ‘the Times” (1987), “Love Sexy” (1988) could keep up. He lost himself in a funky Gniedel-cosmos would his idol James Brown great credit. That was not what was expected of him. But size showed his insatiable Fury fact still give the best concerts that you could ask for. he could What choice had also? Prince was the music he played. Just as the Blues Musician BB King still did not stop at the biblical age of approximately 90 years, the chords and sounds to strike, with whom he had grown, reduced Prince the standards of his success and made his way without the support of a foreign infrastructure.
Why you think at the news of his death or the death of Bowie, that how can a show it is not? Because in popularity that they embodied, art, glamor and riches came together. They acted under the spell of traditions, they total leaving for the welfare of the pop culture and modernized.
That’s musicians no longer possible today. As agents of what popular so fashionable and cool and the people are collective happiness, they have been replaced by football players and other heroes of the repetition. Pop music is divided into puzzle pieces that are continual composed new and exciting, but by whom, does not really matter, because everyone has access to everything.
In the past was not the matter. To develop a music that came from a foreign social context which was linked to the skin color of the players or to the manner in which they said, was a biographical adventure. And for many sat Prince while standards by which less gifted musicians failed in the courts of their own taste. In this respect he was a teacher, as it no longer exists today.
On Thursday Prince was only 57 years lifeless found in an elevator of his estate in Paisley Park after he should be days before the flu. What so disillusioning to this cause would be: That she is so normal. It is the kind of death that each can overtake. Whether genius or not.
