What did Prince tell us?

The entire tribute concert was a tepid, lame, disaster and since it's almost Halloween, it's only appropriate that Frankenstein should attend.

--/ The exact opposite of what people say who went to the show.

I'm going to assume those people were drunk. I know I woulda had to be, to not notice that the house band had some major problems in the rhythm section throughout the show. It's like everybody waiting on Prince. I'm like 'Play the mfn song!' And even when they do it's... just weak. It was closer to a rehearsal than I imagined. If life were fair, everybody would have got a refund. Chaka sounded good, fresh out of rehab... but the damn drumming was a mess. I guess that's Fentanyl Baldhead's fault. He probably was little tight not knowing if the FEDS might scoop him up off the riser.

Was anyone else except me surprised to see Kirk doing part of the Paisley Park tour? Friday night he was the person talking to fans in the video edit room. When he introduced himself as "Kirk" I don't think many on the tour knew that this was the Kirk who was basically Prince's right hand man, and one of the people who supposedly found him the morning of his passing. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for Kirk and all the Paisley insiders. I hope that Kirk's involvement in the concert and PP tour means he is not under any suspicions for wrongdoing. He seems like a really good guy.

It seems fitting. After all, he probably knows Paisley Park (and knew Prince) better than almost anyone else alive.

Why does he get all the suspicion? I believe the last person to see Prince was his chef. Should we be suspicious of him too?

The chef is still on my list ...

I read today that the chef's last conversation with Prince was that Monday. He left food for him the evening he died, but doesn't sound like he actually saw him.

The band were tight. You're entitled to your opinion but I'd get a hearing test if I were you.

If you love someone, you stop the world to save them. Even if they cast you away.

Ok, my uncle is currently in a facility currently unable to eat or speak on his own due to his alcoholism and YES my grandmother enabled him because she was raised to always clean up her brothers messes. Wrong but true. Just because you are an enabler doesn't mean you don't love somebody. My grandmother is killing herself with worry right now, if that's not love idk what is.

I'm sorry for your grandma's situation. I'm sure most people here have had some experience with this kind of thing. I have. I think you can stay and fight with/ for the person to get healthy, walk away or enable. Stayingl takes an extreme amount of effort, patience and love.

I believe that I read KJ was a dancer in PR and he and P became friends after.

I got to speak to Kirk this weekend at Paisley and he said he met Prince in the bathroom at First Ave. Prince saw him and his boys dancing in the bathroom and then Prince gave him a bunch of songs to do routines to. Kirk said they practiced all night and Prince put them in the movie but Prince told him that they would only get a small part because he isnt making a break dance movie. He worked his way up from there. He is a good dude. Was a good friend to him.

I appreciate Kirky could be a hard working and trustworthy guy. Also, I'm not sure if any of us could have done any differently. If we know one thing the force was strong with Prince. I bet he could put people in pretzel before they knew it.

there isn't anybody who knows the truth about any of these people, and apparantly they didn't even know the truth about each other. it's a clustermess. also, I notice that all these tribute shows seem to be waiting for prince to appear, and since he's not there, it's kind of not happening anymore. sadly, so it's time to move on I think. also, who is jubilant judas?

Yes, Tony M told the same story many years ago .

I admire Kirk for keeping his composure and doing the Paisley Park tour after all that has happened and after all the accusations by some fans.

Definitely Michael B.

Does anyone know whether Kirk is married or has children?

kirk definately has a daughter. she is quoted in the memorial program that MG and MT hosted.

I have read that he is divorced with one daughter.

There is also a picture and a mention of her in the Emancipation booklet.

This muthafucka...dont trust him and dont care who doesnt like it.

What is wrong with people today. So many here see Kirk as guilty until proven innocent. Some even admit they don't care if he's cleared, they'll still blame him.

He should have gone public with Prince's personal life? He should have called the cops on Prince? Really? Wow!

I hope none of you get called up for jury duty. No objectivity.
