I think Jill's idea of a yearly music festival honoring Prince in the vein of South by Southwest is by far the best idea I've heard so far. Paisley Park would be a living breathing entity--the way Prince wanted it to continue. Invite artists, young and old, local and international, who embody the spirit, musical roots, and vision that Prince lived...and encouraged.

I honestly thought that they would replicate the Celebrations Prince used to have. They could do it on his birthday or something and still have the museum because he gave tours of PP too.

I'm cuttng them some slack because the nature of what happened was so sudden, but it doesn't have to be either or. It's still early and eventually they might do several things with PP, including operate it as a studio again. Jill might feel better about it as time goes by.

Good interview.

I agree with you. It's early days yet... A lot of us might feel better as things get resolved and plans get enacted. We shall see. But, if the estate were to replicate the Prince-type Celebrations, I would be there. Too bad I didn't have the opportunity to go way back when...

Some of the stans are gonna be per-turbed by what she said.

Yes but you cannot deny Prince was the genius- his legacy speaks for itself and silences a lot of the noise.

Thats what I am thinking but it should last a week or so. I feel a day for a magnificent dude like Prince is going to be insufficent.

I will listen to the show when it is upload.

Me too. It's a huge regret for me that I wasn't able to attend the celebrations.

I agree one hundred percent. Sadly we still have folks who want to give credit where it's NOT due. Hopefully Jill dispelled some of those myths.

It means so much to me that the last venue I saw Prince in with my son was a small club within walking distance from my home. Terrific memories...

He left us so much to cherish. It's so funny because my family and I always talk about him like he was another family member.

The only one in my family who understands is my son who was there for my real Prince adventures. What a ride it was...

Well, I'm selling my sister short. She was a Prince fan way back when and went to the Musicology tour. But not a die-hard like me. The great thing is being able to pass on that passion for wonderful music to your kids--my son taught himself how to play the hell outa some Prince solos on guitar. That is the true legacy of Prince's music--to pass it on to younger generations. I thiink that's what Prince was trying to do in latter years... I would love to see PP used as a music school, too, but that may be a bit much with everything that has been discussed on this board...

He made so many efforts in that direction, especially the last few years.

Indeed, he did.

First things first, let me apologize for the rough audio. The monitors in the studio were off and I couldn't hear myself. I take pride in the quality of my shows and I deeply apologize for those who had an issue listening. However, the 2-5am broadcast which I just uploaded is in my opinion a much clearer sound and is more crisp. You can find that here For Love: A Conversation ...ill Jones. I also want to to thank you all for the love and positive vibes. Jill is a wonderful person and she will be back soon because there is so much we didn't get to talk about. As for playing The Undertaker in it's entirety, I had do it! Y'all take care and be easy!

Am I doing something wrong with this link for the interview with Jill Jones? I'm only hearing Prince music so far. Will the interview begin later?

Yes , it starts after the music
