Yes Big Chick was right,you can't serve 2 masters. Prince was not serving God but serving himself. But that doesn't mean he didn't love God as a child or return to Jesus late in life. This is very typical in the life of a Christian. I accepted Jesus as my Savior at 12 and I truly loved Jesus but fell far away from him at 13. I got back into fellowship with Jesus at 35. Big Chick probably did sell out Prince before he got saved and kicked the drug habit. I saw the interview you are referring to. Prince forgave him. Big Chick wasn't insulting Prince only telling the Truth because he wanted Prince to be right with God. They cared so much for each other. Sometimes I think Prince thought of Big Chick as a dad.

According to the Star Tribune (at least I think that's who reported it) Prince saw a show at the Dakota Jazz club in Minneapolis a couple days before he passed. Apparently Josh and Hannah were at that show with him. Not sure who else was. I believe the day of or day after he passed they were at Paisley Park handing out pizza to fans who showed up to pay respects. It sure seems they were around towards the end.

Oh I sent them both private messages on Facebook about a month ago but they never responded. I told them look I know you can't tell me anything, but can you please just tell me I'm wrong about Warners killing Prince.

Thanks very much for that clawsome post, Olivia!

I haven't had a laugh like that on here for a long, long time. I hope you won't be offended, as it's hugely appreciated. It's good to laugh!

You may enjoy reading that I got my just desserts, as my poor wee kitty-cat was sitting on my lap, and got such a fright at me giggling manically that, trying to keep her balance, she dug her claws right into my leg! Ouch!

Were you feline surprised that Josh and Hannah didn't reply to your message?!

If you had sent something like that to Prince, maybe you would have got a reply along the lines of, "Oooh honey, I'm scared of you!"

I posted this in the other thread about Larry's absence, but since there are 2 threads...

...

When I was on my Paisley Park tour, not only did I see Kirk Johnson and Trevor Guy there, but someone in the other tour group we ran into at the influence wall said that he saw Larry Graham go upstairs when they were starting their tour. This was the day after the official tribute concert.

...

Before I left town, I saw Larry and his wife Tina in a take-out line at a counter service restaurant about a mile from Paisley Park. He was dressed casually with a black baseball cap. He just had a warm, friendly, cool presence about him and seemed really nice to the people he interacted with.

Don't tear me limb from limb here, but I wanted to say that there is an interview out there (ETT)in which Big Chick claims to have given P his first Bible, and BC thought that P was "confused" because you can't "serve 2 gods" ?(look up "rare 1988 interview big chick"on youtube, it's around 3:49 mark)..can't post the link for some reason

thought it was interesting...but not sure if true

(I'm also aware that OFFS was partially in reference to Big Chick selling P out to tabloids for his (Big Chick's) cocaine habit, but this interview seems to be after Big Chick turned christian)
