Is it a big controversy everytime Kim says something? really?

.

The only things I know of Kim is her posting that cool picture of doing Prince's hair for a Rave era photo shoot, and this thread, posting something about PRince not being a drug addict/meme on his birthday

.

Plus didn't show Prince didn't like people making meme's of his photos?

Really because a few people said he sat around making meme's all the time. I believe it was Shameless Maya that said this. Everybody say he had a great sense of humor about himself. Remember he picked the meme for "This Could Be Us "

No one who knew him in the last years of his life have said he was a humorless drone. Of course the word here is actually knew him not recalling things from 30 years ago.

I don't know of Prince making meme's of his own pictures. or such
I mean he didn't like what a lot of fans were doing with his photos and why he force the org to shut down and remove basic photos of him in he early 2000s

I don't understand why every time Kim says something it's a big controversy but when others run up their traps it is not a issue. It's clear some people don't like anyone taking up for Prince.

She did a pod cast and a lot of people were losing it because she stated that Prince was moving away from being a Jehovah Witness and people were acting like she said he was becoming a buddhist or something and that's not what she said. It really showed me how much people hated him being a Jehovah witness and that's not ok. Kim keeps it real and some people don't like that because they want Prince to be the big bad wolf not a human being with ups and down. I think she made it clear that he could be tough but he was also could be a sweetheart who was a provider and some people don't want to hear that. Why can't she say her piece but others who didn't know Prince for years can say whatever they want? Didn't he post meme's himself if I am not mistaken.

I believe Shameless Maya mentioned this in the GQ article and anything he had taken off the net had to do with money, permission and payment. Something I though he was very clear about.

gut wrenching again

we all had an idea he was goig through some of this shit..anyone who's seen North Dallas 40 or a sports fan has got to have jnown he was dealing with this

But here is the thing. What was standing on a mountain top telling the world his health problems going to do to solve the problem or even telling his associates? Althougt Scott Baldwin said he knew during the Musicology tour.

What was anyone suppose to do?

At this time the only meds for joint pain are pain pills. I wonder if people stop and think that with all the money P had he had not already explored all avenues and if they realize that if any promoters thought he had health issues he was going to have a hard time making a living.

I hate how W&L who may not have even been that close to him are starting this pity party narrative.

At the end Prince was doing what he wanted to do with his life. Still performing. Do they really think he would have made it very long without doing what he loved. Why can't they appreciate that work ethic and drive?

Its not about telling others. Its about telling yourself that youre not superman and need to take heed to medical warnings/health (which Im assuming he 'finaly' did since a counselor was booking him a place later) . He od'd and died on a plane a week before and checked himself out the same night for christs sake.

But that is what he wanted to do.

Also stop assuming that if he got off pain pills all of his problems were going to vanish into thin air. We simply do not have enough info about what was going on with his health to judge.

There is some indication now that he was sick when he got to Atlanta which if this is true he knew the risk when he got on that plane to go to the concert. According to the Altanta promoter he told her he was going to go back to Minneapolis and see his doctor and to hold off on annoucing the next 9 shows that were already set up.

He had every intention on finishing out that tour and he no reason to go back to Dr. S to be told he was going thru withdrawals. Some pices of the puzzle are missing. It does not matter anyway because remember Sheila E said he was going to get on that plane no matter what because he did not believe in canceling shows. What happened to him after that show was going to happen because that is the way he wanted it.

Yes, these were on his page and they are funny. He also made fun of himself being light before. He had sense of humor about himself.

Naw that was BS when it came down to force the org to remove fan photos. No one was making money off of that. And Housequake shutting down.
If I paid for the magazine where the photo was and scanned it, I'm not making any money, and he gave permission that way. I can see certain 'paid' sites, but fan sites are not making any kind of money. He knew that was going to far. You start attacking fans, that is your money base.

I just don't know who Shameless Maya is.

Of course he had a sense of humor. Ya think I don't know that?
My post about didn't Kim know he didn't like that stuff was humor.

I mean who said anything about having/not having a sense of humor?
Why are you talking about Prince and a sense of humor?
I said nothing about Prince not having a sense of humor?

Why would I think being a fan of Prince since the beginning, that Prince doesn't have a sense of humor?

What is 30 yrs ago?
30yrs ago Prince goofing on the AMerican Band Stand not speaking was him and his sense of humor, the Recka Stow thing is Prince having a sense of humor, Prince has always had a sense of humor. How in hell said Prince did not have a sense of humor?

I can assure that is not going to happen. The extras that I added are my thoughts that I added to the conversastion and they most certainly address your concerns and defense of Wendy's statements. Let me make it clear for you.

Me= He was not going to stop working because he did not want to. Is that clear enough for you? He full well knew he was ill when he got to Atlanta based on some new info that has appeared.

You really do not have clue about much of anything.

Some fan sites were letting people know were they could go to get bootlegs and some photos he owen the copyright on. Instead of shifting throught thousands of websites I am sure his attorney told he to take a one stop approach to all the fan sites. He knew that a round of cease and desist orders would scare most people enough to take the pics and bootlegg info off of the sites.

I do not see how this effected his bottom line at all and now after his death you can see his image being exploited all over the internet without the estates permission.

See the cease and desist sent by Rhonda Trotter below.

I have also included the GQ interview with Shameless Maya and her Youtube posting were she talks about how she met Prince. You realize all of this stuff was posted on Prince org with the exception of the cease and desist letters which may have been the last set he had sent out.

Now go ahead and not look at any of this and tell me it has nothing to do with your comments or

anything at all that has been discussed in this thread.

I was specifically talking about photos. Not bootlegs. And I understand copyright photos. But most photos out there are not money making copyright photos.

His attorney did not know the damage he was doing with that silly advice.

This is what happens when U bring a bunch of stuff into someones post that has nothing to do with what they are talking about.. love.
