GONE!! Oh Too Soon!

Prince died, and just like that our whole world took a spin dive into “Oh no, what a shame!” spiral. The news media started twenty four hour coverage and everybody did overkill on the ‘awesomeness of this icon, this very talented person who we shall miss dearly.’ Until next month maybe—“Let us see h...
