He recorded 70 albums and sang to millions around the world. Our natural reasoning is that our favorite musicians will live past 100 and sing a few departing songs then ease off to an eternal sleep. However, some musicians it seems are eternal as Chuck Berry almost 90 and Jerry Lee Lewis who is 80, both entertained forever it seems. I saw Jerry Lee in Owensboro, Kentucky well into his seventies. He could actually still play the piano very well. The hip gyration move had lost some of it gravitas but hey he was still entertaining 4,000 people that night. And then of course there is Tony Bennett who is approaching 90 and still performing. Some of us wonder if The Rolling Stones will be touring when they hit 80.

Prince leaving us at age 57 makes it all the more shocking. Reports are that Prince recently presented great concerts in Georgia. Over the weekend he entertained a small gathering in Minnesota. As always, he presented his music with passion, genius and celebration. Such musical celebration mystifies us even more. It is hard for us to fathom something being wrong when an artist is seemingly hitting all the right keys. However, the greatest artists fool us. David Bowie was sick but managed to squeeze out one last album. Glen Frey of The Eagles wowed us last summer on tour but is now gone. Robin Williams, of course not a his rifles in the front of his vehicle at 4:17 p.m. *There was an unoccupied Lexus on Forest Service Road 626 in the Onion Mountain area at 4:30 p.m. *ADT alarms were activated at the basement door in the 800 block of Glendon Road at 6:17 p.m. Outside the Valley *Thirteen recorded incidents.

Elvis could still sing and entertain us even though we were not aware of his prescription addiction until his death. More will be said about Prince’s untimely death today and in the days ahead. In the meantime his life will live on through his music and his music will live on in us. Glenn Mollette is an American syndicated columnist and author.
