The rumors changed to official stories about the death of Prince today ... and it is certainly a tragedy.  Prince was 57.  Here's another tragic point... that makes 23 deaths so far this year in the world of rock.  And it's only April ... what is goin' on ?!?

Some who have died are less-famous and many are not what you would label as "classic rock" stars, but this is already a terrible year for losing musicians.  The adage of "deaths come in threes" has moved up to "twenty-threes"  and there are still 8 months left in the year.  I hope musicians by the hundreds are running to their doctors for check ups.
