Not at all, Rogifan. I'm very much on board with PP being open to his fans, just not with this food experience thingy. | |

You see, it's a matter of how you look at things, imo. I'm also interested in the books he read, the films he watched, the food he ate, what daily mundane things interested him, etc. However, I see this food experience thing as marketed as kind of a theme park amusement, a gimmick. It's hard to explain. Maybe I'm alone in this. It's all good. | |

Because it's a tasting course packaged together? If they just had a menu with individual items he liked that one could purchase would that be ok? Or should they not sell any food similar to what had been prepared for him in the past? Personally I would rather spend money on something like this than a trinket from a gift shop.

Let us not forget, Prince ( oddly ) left a clear vision of how the museum was to operate and what is was to offer several months before he died. This could very well have been part of it. We are all so full of here | |

It's the way it was sold. "Come and try what Prince used to eat" as opposed to having a vegetarian menu that included some of his favourite meals. Do you see the difference? Hell, maybe I'm just being picky. Like i said before, it's all good. | |

WAS PRINCE OPENING UP PP TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC & SELLING HIS FAV MEALS? | |

IF Prince had lived to oversee the museum, I always saw it going something like this...

I actually think it is a good idea. I went online and wished I knew about the shirts before they sold out Is there a way to order and have one shipped? | |

What vision did he leave, with whom, and what or where is it? Was this vision in writing, did he speak about it on video, specifically tell it to someone.....???? I'm not being sarcastic or anything, I would really like to know, because I keep seeing posts where people say that "this is what Prince wanted" and like you, that "he left a clear vision of how the museum was to operate" but I have never seen anything myself or saw anything from Prince about this. | |

I think its awesome! Bring on the Paisley Park Cookbook! I love trying foods Prince loved and smelling smells he loved too - if the estate needs to make some money to keep the doors open then so be it. | |

Agreed | |

Thanks, but it's still all hearsay ("sources said"). It states that Prince mapped it out and sent emails about plans, then where are they, show the emails and specific plans. | |

LOL, yeah we can dream on. I don't think they are obligated to do that. We are all so full of here | |

They Need $$$ !!!
Prince would never get involved in any bullshit like this! | |

P himself wanted it to be a museum and place for other artist to record.
How else would they pay all the bills and taxes? Keeping such a huge building/property open cost a lot of money and P himself can't pay these bills and taxes....

They'll have more money if they don't spend it building a big wall around PP. Life Matters | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
That wall is maybe 0,0000000000000000000001 of the costs to keep PP open and running I Know because I'm in this business for work.
Regular Museums have (extra) security. So some extra security must be available with all the strange NON-Monnesota folks coming to PP when it's a Museum. You know there are people with less good intentions, there are a lot of real expensive items @ PP. (most of them priceless.....)

Are you saying that a couple of spinach leaves and a dozen of chick peas are more expensive than a bag of cement? Life Matters | |

hONESTLY, I feel the entire concept of a museum is a horrible waste of PP.
I would rather see it become an extension of Prince's beliefs for the rights of artists.
I think it should be a training ground and studio for artists who would like to OWN thiers.
I do hope some token of this remains in some way.

I've been going to PP events since the mid 90's.. Over 20... the celebrations in the early 2000's an invite from the man himself ect... I dont think Prince would want things to be the way they currently are.. Nor do i think he'd want his fans involved in an obvious Money Grab situation set up by people with NO FUNK!

i think it will, but maybe that takes more time to set that up, andh they're just trying to keep it viable right now. articles have said they want it to be like Prince is alive and have people record and perform there hopefully next year. In the everevolving music industry, PP could be a beacon for artists to teach them Prince's music ownership philosophy, and i think it would be a nice exhibit in the museum part. flowing through the veins of the tree of life...purplemaplesyrup | |

Just wanted to let u know that the Paisley Park Tours website has been updated and it now states that it's best to pre-order The Taste Experience ahead of time via their online store because it will be available in a limited way on a daily basis during the tours. Hope this helps and enjoy! | |

Preparing PP for its opening as a multiple use facility - recording studios & museum involves a lot - conservation, security, accessibility, usage/programming, aesthetics/visitor experience... A museum will have some type of concessions and why not serve vegan/vegetarian fare? I'll try it and buy a cookbook. I've been interested in Prince's favorite dishes after I resd an article with him discussing his vegan lifestyle. They're using the Graceland company because that company turned elvis' estate around and made it highly profitable. PP will never be like graceland. Graceland is elvis and definitely not Prince. If they plan this right and add museum professionals into the mix, PP will be a great experience and become profitable and will be able to sustain itself. That's what we want, isn't it? That's what I want - a wonderful experience and tribute to Prince and a top notch creative environment for artists. He's not here, but still very near
