a few words on "the Annulment"

This is very interesting. I've never seen it before. From where does it come?

.

I think it's very striking how at the end he says "I've got Larry [Graham] for my inner self and Mayte for the outer self." My interpretation is that he's admitting, without admitting, that he's moving away from Mayte spiritually and toward Larry.

.

As for the "annulment", I believe that made up the annulment "contract"/agreement. It was not legally binding. I think he contrived the annulment, which is not so far-fetched of a concept, because he was very creative. The reason why he contrived the "annulment", however, is less clear. I love the man dearly, but I don't buy his explanation about not needing a contract to be married to Mayte.

Pintrest is a Trip...

Star Tribune musta been sleeping for a few years!!!!!!!!

New to me

Ok push pause for a sec. still appreciating mayte. In her book she mentions hanging out with or getting friendly with a fellow band mate I think well before she and P were “past pen pals”. Who do you think that was cuz I’m wondering how one escapes crushing on mr Hayes!!!!! And he is soooo freaking nice!!!!!
Yep I’m betting it was him and P was jealous big time. How could you have not crushed on MH!!!!????

Each paragraph comes from different articles or interviews. I read some of these statements in articles before.

Isn’t he just the sweetest guy and handsome too. I think she got along with all of the guys in the NPG. That is...Tommy, Sonny, Michael B. and Morris.

I heard Prince talked about Mayte a lot over the years after they divorced but Shelby J. confirmed it.

amethyst68 said:

I love Shelby; she’s so positive. It’s so cool that she and Mayte have become friends.

Sounds like he talked about Mayte quite a lot! That's so sweet what she said about her.

amethyst68 said:

She wrote positively about all four of those guys in her book.

These photos are great! and all of the NPG members are so full of life!

Seriously, unidentified dancer?

You would think that the Star-Tribune would be better informed given that wrote "Billy Jack Bitch" about one of the S-T's own columnists (CJ)!

ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE, NOVEMBER 1996

0{+>'s marriage to Mayte and the impending birth of their child were two of the important inspirations. for Emancipation. It's no coincidence that what 0{+> describes as his "divorce" from Warner Bros. has occurred right around the time of his marriage and Mayte's pregnancy. "I don't believe in coincidence," he says flatly.

Along with covers of such smoochy ballads as Betcha by Golly Wow! and the Delfonics' La, La, La, Means I Love You, Emancipation is filled with what 0{+> sheepishly calls "sentimental stuff." Discussing how he has been affected by the prospect of fatherhood, he says, "You'll definitely hear it in my music." For the song Sex in the Summer, which was originally titled "Conception", 0{+> sampled his unborn baby's heartbeat. "Of course, that's a tempo," he says. "The nothing baby set the groove for this song. Mayte always smiles when she hears it."

0{+> may have used his baby's ultrasound as a rhythm sample, but he and Mayte did not ask to know which sex their child is. "It doesn't matter, " says. "We all have the male and female with us, anyway. We'll be happy with whatever God chooses to give us." And just as 0{+> has no intention of once again taking the name Prince -- the people around him refer to him simply as "The Artist" -- he says, "The baby will name itself." As he prepares to preview a song called Let's Have A Baby, 0{+> turns to Mayte and says, "You're gonna start crying -- you better leave." Then he explains to me, "I got my house fixed up and put a crib in it. Then I played this song for her, and she started crying. She had never seen my house with a crib in it before." Let's Have A Baby, the lyrics run. "What are we living for?/Let's make love." As for the song's sparse arrangement, described by 0{+> as "bass, piano and silence," he says, "Joni Mitchell taught me that. If you listen to her early stuff, she really understands that."

He points to a portrait of Mayte that is framed in gold. "I can't wait for my baby to look up and see Mayte's eyes," he says, his voice filled with wonder. "Look at those eyes. That's the first thing the baby is going to see in this world."

0{+> has transformed Paisley Park in anticipation of the birth of his child. What had been a modern industrial park has become more playful and vibrant, like the psychedelic wonderland implied by its name. And it would warm the heart of Tipper Gore, who was inspired to found the Parents Music Resource Center when she overheard one of her daughters listening to the masturbatory imagery in the Prince song "Darling Nikki", to hear the singer talk about how he now sees things through the eyes of a child.

Does anyone know why he used the phrase "the nothing baby"? I'm just asking because we know that this baby meant everything to he and Mayte. Listen to the songs "Comeback" and "Until U're In My Arms Again" and "Let's Have a Baby" and it's abundantly clear that and Mayte wanted and dearly loved this child. Did he use the phrase "the nothing baby" because he and Mayte did not know the sex of the baby?

Here's a photo of P with the red blindfold:

Is that a different ring that he's wearing? This looks like 1996.

Oprah Show, 1996. If I recall correctly, he did her show in two parts, the interview (with Mayte) and then a live portion at her studios in Chicago.
