Open debate or gatekeeping?

Have the fans had enough of an opportunity to take part in open debate post 2016? There are plenty of people making a name for themselves (or maybe I should say building their brand), but I am thinking about lifelong fans that are and have always been in his corner. I’m missing those voices. Somehow it seems that they’re no longer heard, for instance because they are not interested in become social media stars, or have they been silenced on purpose? Gatekeeping?
And meanwhile, his life story continues to be altered in all directions, depending on who’s talking. And no one really standing up for him. When are we fair to Prince? Who made that statement again: “some fans are happy to listen to anything said by someone who can show they were, at some point in their life, in the same room as Prince”? Was that Andre C.?
Who has a say and who doesn’t and how is that decided? What do you think? Some interesting views and useful debate here https://www.podbean.com/m...ce=w_share

Interesting post. You make some interesting points.
I was listening to 2045 Radical Man and NPG's The War last night.
It was a bit eerie listening to those songs. Did Prince know too much?
Food for thought 😎✌❤

Thank you. I was hoping for some more debate, but I guess since we've been relegated to this subforum that it isn't going to happen. Next time I should exclude links to others having a fair discussion, I suppose....
