Re: PPLS. POST: NEW ENDING: PRINCE PASSING: One of Our Own Has Left Us
Highly paid athletes are always validated in their earnings when their agents and apologists
point out that their salaries are part and privileged parcel of the huge Entertainment and Leisure
dollar that is dished out daily to deliver us from the mundane aspects of our everyday lives. (The
large difference between sports and movies or music-videos is that fans at a sporting event
do not know how a game will end. The outcome is magically in doubt.) Prince, an immensely
talented performer, has been a member of that select fraternity of entertainers and athletes for
over three decades. His passing underscores the significance of life's final lesson: That this life
always ends in sadness, if not for the person who has left us, surely for those left behind feeling
the loss of a loved or admired one. And when that life concludes prematurely, as with Prince
or Michael Jackson before him, the tragedy is even greater. Now, if the coroner's findings bear
out that considerably more than prescription drugs hastened Prince's demise, I have been there,
too, in a previous life. But, having overcome my own demons long ago, I am most happy and
very content still living here in the present life, thank you.
Yours truly,
Dr. John "Jumpin' Johnny" Kline
