Van Jones was part of the early Obama administration (Green Jobs advisor) and has been a CNN/MSNBC commentator for years. Well-respected. He's also a Democratic strategist (and considering the many who claim P was Republican...it's obvious P's politics were all over the place).

BUT...if you're familiar with P's conspiracy theories, it's likely he got them from Jones.

van jones sems like a really interesting guy

He does....and he was the impetus for the Baltimore show/song, as well as directing P into YesWeCode and the Oakland project for installing solar panels.

In fact, in the past few years, it seemed P was less preachy and more politically aware, which is something Van would have had influence in. (Remember, JWs aren't supposed to vote or be political, but we know P was....increasingly.)

Hi all!

I think like all of us, with Prince, some people were friends with him at certain points of his life and then other points of his life, he had other friends. We all go through it. This is NOT uncommon. I mean the man was pushing 60 years. That's a long life and a lot of friends have probably come and gone.

And guess what, everybody that "tells you the truth" and not kiss your butt isn't necessary your friend either. Some people are not meant to be in your life forever or all the time or even at that level.

And also too, Damaris IS making her rounds talking about Prince. It really just depends on what Media outlet you are following to see who is getting interviews and talking about Prince.

Pretty much everybody who knew Prince is talking about Prince. That's what happens after the BIG celebs die. Same thing happened with MJ.
