You're really going to pretend that's some new revelation around here?

Do me a favor...go back censor all of the other people who have implied the very same thing over the years and then get back to me about what does and doesn't need to be added.

While you're at it, let me know when you became a moderator? rolleyes

and you are a steelers fan..wtf


Ya damn right, and just like that legendary Steeler defense, I don't take no prisoners. lol

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

Really? Prince got $3 million for his buddy TC without him having 2 do any work.

It was in fact 1 million, not 3 wink

This thumbs up! Did Prince handcuff her to the drum kit , NOOOOOOO. biggrin

He certainly could have threatened not to pay her. Threatened to sue her. Or at least made her feel that that could happen. Prince has a history of fining band members, firing band members. Sounds like a form of psychological intimidation that may not be spoken but felt. Sheila's only way of protesting was to refuse his money. Then again .. Lockwood88 .. you know all about psychological intimidation because you like to abuse and harrass people that disagree with you. no wonder you are defending prince so fast. Hey remember when you called me a "tit" and a "fecker" for disagreeing with you. I do.

Hell yes i remmember you haveing a personal dig at people for liking a certain song , yes i do , in my book thats a personal attack, and it's about time the crap from the sewer was brought out into the open. And it's laughable you say i defend everything by Prince , he can be a dick and he can bring out crap songs , so can every artist , nobody is perfect.

This is Sheila's memoir. Her memories of some instances in her life. There are actually only a few chapters about her work with Prince. Honestly, she speaks glowingly of him for the most part. Prince did a couple of things that weren't right and she talks about how she felt. Just because Prince is involved in someone's life, doesn't mean they can't recollect on experiences they shared.

What are some of the positive things she says about Prince?

"His look was as unique as his music and he was killing the stage...his performance was mesmerizing." Describing first time seeing Prince perform.

"Plus, he could sing--I mean he could sang!--and yet he had such a humility about his talents. I was in awe."

"I was so fascinated by what he was doing musically and so proud of him..."

"I fell a little deeper in love with him every day. I knew it was love, and had gone beyond our deep friendship."

"Working with Prince was the beginning of a fabulous musical relationship."

Actually penniless is a misnomer. She actually OWED Prince a million dollars. Penniless would have been a far better situation actually.




What would she owe him a million dollars for? confuse


Sheila said in an interview that she went out and spent a whole lotta money because she thought everything would be payed for or was somehow free. She realized she owed a million and contacted P. He payed for everything.

Go ahead and use my posts to judge as you damn well see fit...I'll lose no sleep, believe that. lol

I guess you missed the part where I based my thoughts on SHEILA'S OWN ADMISSIONS THAT I PERSONALLY WITNESSED.

Perhaps it's your intellect that we should be questioning?

thing is i dont judge or use inneundo etc..posts get hijacked constantly by myslef included (guilty as charged) when we add that extra that doesnt need to be added, LIke wjhat part does this statement serve " ladies surrounding Prince have never been known for their towering intellect, e

actually Prince did have some strong intelligent women around him at one time

"Prince spent $370,000 on my first album. That's where I got my come up. If they don't put those three albums out, they have to pay you what it costs to produce those albums. You add $370,000 three times and how much is that? That's a grip". $1.11million

Well it was 3 million. Sheila said in the book she owed the money to Prince's mgmt but she also said a few years ago that she got big royalty checks.

There are few straight up villains or victims in the music industry.. so villainizing or martyrizing (I know thats not a word but Im using it anyway) anyone is lame IMO... And I'd add that accepting spin non-critically is equally as lame and blindly defending people just because someone likes them.

Change it one more time..

I love how she said recently (forget where) that her book isn't about Prince, yet the Prince stories seem to be all anyone is hearing about. And the negative stuff at that.

They are currently not speaking.Sheila was touring with Prince a few years ago,but had some kind of disagreement with him,and they haven't spoken to each other since confused

Well, maybe they are just singing to each other then, because that's what Prince does in " Leader Of The Band" (plus playing keys) , a song of her album called ICON trom 2013 !

Let's face it: if it weren't for Prince, hardly anyone would know who Sheila Escovedo is (because she wouldn't be Sheila E.). It's largely because they want to read about her relationship with Prince that anyone is buying her book, at all. In other words, she's still making money off her association with him. Don't think she and/or her publicist don't know how that deck is stacked - and flogging it for all it's worth.

I would be willing to bet that, no matter what other stories are peddled, the real reason for her latest falling out with Prince is that she told him she was writing a book - and he cut her off then and there.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.
