Prince laid bare

Tonight I watched the UK channel 5 documentary regarding the life of Prince. Followed by Purple rain.
I noticed some discrepancies in the documentary and at times was shouting at the screen.I was upset when it was said how lonely he was. I'm not sure if this was for dramatic effect because I can kind of understand how this could be. What do you think? Added to this I have also read the dreaded book by Mayte.

Amongst all the stuff out there regarding Prince. Whether we choose to believe all the things reported or not. I keep coming back to how Prince told his story via the music.
I can't listen to his last concerts (yet).I find myself returning over and over again to the Montreux 2009 set. In particular empty room. It moves me each time I watch or listen.
When do you all think Prince put it all out there?

I don't watch any documentaries, magazines, and barely any news articles about Prince because I will probably get infuriated at some point. I get all my news here. It's less painful hearing about all the bullshit coming from the fans here whether than some journalist who don't give a shit about Prince. As for your question, I do t know when he would put it all out but I think if he could control it from heaven he would give it all to us right now for free.

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.

Seems like he had plenty of female company so I doubt he was that lonely. Just an attempt by the media to make him look like Sammy sad sack

If Prince was ever alone it was because he wanted to be.

Could not agree more. Not everyone needs to have people around all of the time. I think I am a person like that. I enjoy my work tremendously, I enjoy my time with family and friends and I very much enjoy being alone. I fill my time with projects and writing and reading. I think I will always be a person that enjoys my own company. Prince may not have had people around all of the time, but he had a rich, creative, full life.
