Brilliant innerview! Thx!

This:

There is a huge walk-in vault at Paisley Park — and I'll bet they've expanded it considerably by now — with nothing but old master tapes in it. Undoubtedly there are now hard drives and other storage media of every successive format warehoused as well. The last time I was there, at least 25 years ago, there were hundreds and hundreds of hours of unreleased stuff in there — a good bit of which I had played on as well. I have no doubt his posthumous releases will make Elvis look like a piker ...

And this: P are you listening:

Are you able to enjoy recordings of those live shows from the late '70s and early '80s, or does the nastiness color the memories of the experience?

Life is a grab bag, both an experience of joy and pain, sunshine and rain, so it would be foolish to discount the wonder on the basis of the silliness in my view.
