Paisley Park

Hi Everybody

I was wondering if anyone really knew if Prince lived in PP, I know there were bedrooms there!

Also what is the separate dome shape detected in the PP grounds?

Thanks

Did he live there?

Yes

What is the separate dome shape detected in the PP grounds?

See threads about The Egg

For example: http://prince.org/msg/7/423581

There's a lot info out there about this. It was his full-time residence from around 2005/6.

Lisa,

Use the search box in the upper right corner of any Org page. These things have been discussed ad nauseum in the past, and especially more in the past two years since he died. The answers await you discovering them.

Best,

When i worked Paisley I wondered WHY was this is #1 question from people visiting? out of all the questions constantly the pople would ask if he lived there. I understand it is a curiosity but, just odd being from the inside.

I think it's an obvious question to ask. PP is so much part of the Prince myth; a unique place in the world. The idea of him actually living there just adds to that.

I used to be like, "Ill be happy to answer any other thing about Prince except for his living arrangements"..."okay but is his bedroom in there?" LOL. Kinda funny actually.

...and the rumor that he still lived in a nearby home, spread by someone here who claims to know all, is false.
The question "did he live here" is a logical one and should be readily answered.

Giving the recording pace, he probably dozed off in a napsack under the mixing console.

I've never been to the Park, but something tells me Prince energy and spirit still
watches over it all. Those pictures of him teaching kids 🎶. I was like yeah I want to go to class if Mr. Nelson is the teacher. Give me skills on the piano.
My interest is purely musical.

Thank you...yes.

Slightly off topic, but with all the men getting axed for inappropriate understanding of boundaries, Master Prince shows you, his energy is manly here but uses calm receptive energy to invite connection.
This is how you do...Prince knows and was ahead of his time.
Two men Who interviewed Prince have been inappropriate.

Learn from Prince all people...the balance of energy awareness

I hadn't realized he lived there either. I always knew about the purple house. Paisley Park I think most people thought of as strictly the recording studio. So for those folks who are not as versed with Prince they wouldn't realize he resided there as well

According to Dave Hampton it had Old equipment in it and was being used for storage and at one point was suppose to a restaurant. I do not know who you are Purple Yoda but you consistently show ignorance about all things Prince.

He was having another home built that was in the court docs.

It was in the court docs and I think the Star Triubuen or one of the local papers showed the builders model picture of the house. Once it was completed the estate put it on the market.

I will see if I can find the article.

I remember seeing a model of a house but it wasn’t a house for Prince, it was one of the lots that the Estate was selling.

Ni.
You are confused. That was the land that the purple house used to sit on. The estate was selling the land and the realty company offered a house to be built but it had NOTHING to do with Prince, besides the land.
The couple who bought the land, bought ONLY the land and are building their own home there.

He DID commission plans for a symbol-shaped home, huge, that would only have fit on the Galpin tract. That was never built.q

So now who's showing ignorance about all things Prince, laurarichardson?

Maybe we should personally invite you to Paisley Park and maybe we might swing by the Egg. The perfect place 2 play house. I'll change yo mind real quick. By the way, ever heard this tune called "Mellow"? No, not the one by Elton John... But that's cool though...

I am not discussing the puprle house or the land that the couple brought. I will find the article.

The egg was going to be a restaurant and then was used for storage. Per Dave Hampton their is a underground tunnel to get to it. I am repeating what he said in the Mike Dean podcast. You are actually referencing a song lyric as proof of something.
