The lighting at the piano & mic shows was bad...
He looked the same in Feb/March/April if you watch the videos.

Third eye had a similar meaning to WB as his symbol but the third eye was meaning he was aware and letting all know of his visions.

--That is your interpretation. Prince simply signed a deal with them to get masters back is obligations were just about over with and WB music has been sold twice to private equity groups do it is not the same company he dealt with 20 years ago.

He was telling us to boycott WB on his social media accts. whatever happened it was not all good with them.

I am very grateful to Shelby J for being a little more open with us.
It is important to so many of us who loved him too, that we hear the perspectives of those who were close to him, so that we can try and understand better.
Thanks, Shelby.

And yes, he is blessing her. Many others too.

hmmm been wondering what he meant by it
I asked Prince what he was planning to do. He told me , I'm going to look for the ladder. I asked him what that meant. All he said was, sometimes it snows in April. - book D.M.S.R.

Also: There is nothing in Mayte's book that hasn't already been revealed or reported over the years.
The JW thing was an awkward period. It was hard to reconcile when it seemed he found the permission in his faith to become involved with another woman and ultimately end his current marriage. And the fact that LG was put on a pedestal and regarded as this great spiritual mentor yet he was directly involved with the the burning of Mayte's personal belongings in his yard. Those things alone gave me more than enough reason to feel JW was not a healthy presence in Prince's life. That's putting it mildly.

As far as Shelby goes I take everything with a grain of salt. I'm not particularly fond of his band set ups that include her or Liv or any of the arsenal of background singers over the years. But I get why he did it, and probably had to do it as he got older and unable to carry a show alone.
so you take someone's comments with a grain of salt because you weren't a fan of them as band members? WTF?

--What are you talking about? The stuff was burned in LG backyard because LG lived in a home Prince owned. No one said LG say anything on fire. He was not a JW until after they divorced and even if he was JWs can get divorced just like anybody else. There are things in Mayte's book that have not been reported before ( like he hyponized her LOL) As far as not being able to carrying a show by himself how did he pull those mic shows off. He had those girls singing because they could really sing which was a welcome change of pace for him.

You just like to argue, don't you? It never gets old or tiresome for you. I can't even imagine what that would be like 24/7. Incredible.

I am so in agreeance and cant understand How anyone can think otherwise

Bad Lighting at the P&M shows........PLEASE !

...Something was ailing Prince and that is just that...and It pisses me off that some people would rather call him a drug addict than understand that he was suffering something so painful that he broke his own rules to endure it....

Don't let it break your heart. Some of these people want to ignore his work ethic and track record to actually believe he was tripping out for 30 years. I believe he had medical issues going back a bit and things took a turn for the worst. Nothing unbelievable about it as none are promised perfect health. He had a great life that he lived to the fullest and know one's deluded ideas, books and cash ins are going to change that.

Incorrect. The tear was NOT posthumously added. Prince changed his avatar to this on April 10th. 11 days before he passed. I remember the date because it was a peculiar action on Prince's part. He changed it quickly back to the avatar without the tear so many people did not notice.

Thankfully you noted the date, resolving some of the Mystery and even the "Spook"Factor.....

I read also that it was posted due to his cancelled Concert,

Image result for Prince Avatar tear

Some time back the TWINZ gave a Q and A session...Maya recounts a story that when she was taking her final round of pictures Prince had asked her "Do I look too thin ? "

She mistakenly took this as him being vain...

Interesting how this Avatar is the only one in all of Martin Homents works that depicts Prince with hollow Cheeks...Prince had to approve of it and obviously he was well aware of his waning weight....

The 3rd eye avatar was first used in artwork for the June 2015 3rdEyeGirl concert in Washington, DC...

https://twitter.com/RedFo...7673711616

On twitter, that pic was being used at least as far back as March 25, 2016. The tear appeared when Prince had to cancel the Atlanta concert, and disappeared when he rescheduled it. See these links for confirmation of dates...

Regarding the clothes thing - I too thought it was weird at first, but Lala Escarzega just told me that Prince regularly wore his lounge clothes backwards because he didn't like v-necks. She said he would regularly wear both his shirts and pants backwards when he was lounging or relaxing.

So given that information from someone who was very close to him, it's not strange or suspicious at all.


Also, here's a story from Prince's hairdresser that mentions him putting on a shirt backwards... https://www.instagram.com...OuhPBjy3i/

This was for photo shoot. Something that was staged. The unamed source said all of his clothes were inside out even his socks. Could be a bunch of balcony but I can't see all the clothes being on backward.

What about Lala? Do you believe Lala was lying?

The source said this...

http://startribune.com/pi...390816101/

Prince was wearing a black shirt and pants — both were on backward — and his socks were inside-out, according to a source familiar with the case.

LaLa said he sometimes had a shirt inside out she never said he walked around with all his clothes on backward. In addition, these unamed sources all sources said he had a pill bottle in his pocket. How is a pill bottle in a pocket that is inside out. Like I said if this is true it is very weird for a guy who was known to be a neat freak and did not even like having pants with pockets. It could all be bull and we really will not know until the police report is made public if that even happens as I think the police will redact most of it.

Where/when did Lala say that? Because it contradicts what Militant told us she said.

--I believe her statement about him sometimes having a shirt or cost on backward. I don't recall seeing anything about all his clothes being on backwards all the time. We have numerous pics of him at no time do we see him wearing his clothes backward. Backwards and inside out are the same thing to me. The only way your socks can be backward is to turned inside out.

-- Why would anyone notice if his socks were inside out. I do not understand why anyone gives credibility to what unamed sources have to say. If you are not willing to put your name behind something the information has little credibility. I also find it interesting that everyone wants to believe La La now when no one wanted to pay attention to her comments about "how we do not know the whole story "or her refruting the AIDS rumors.

Once again in denial. He planned the party, which I thought should not have been, to say goodbye. Not in plain words, but it his last timeto be with his fans. He didn't perform at the party, but instead says the words "wait a few days before you waste any prayers'. Everytime I hear that it pisses me off because I was thinking quit trying control everything which he was big on including if your fans wanna pray for you. No prayers are wasted!

So he ordered a new custom-made Purple piano and a hand-crafted Gus guitar for what purpose? To take with him in the afterlife???
