Will peeps stop romanticizing M2 with Prince.She went into it with an agenda. Looks like while the world was grieving she was hatching her plans. Cold and calculating. It makes me sad for him.

Possibly she did this at the request of family member(s)? I’d like to hear from Someone in the family about this

Looky here. We have a new M2 stan.

Many who were close to Prince stan for M2; look at the media she gets, how wonderful and down to earth she is; she snowed them all.

It what you do that speaks for you and not your own lips. She does things that are questionable and totally for her own good and it pimps Prince. This woman did nothing for 4 decades. Prince is the one who worked himself to death- literally- and part of his working so much in later years was to pay her divorce settlement. This whole thing with her is so, so, sad.

Was she using it before he died?

I would say, NO. Otherwise, she would have already had the trademark(s), no?

So, not sure if this is really the debate here, but you typically cannot trademark a song title. You CAN trademark the name of an organization.

.

So, if you were wondering just generally how that was possible, that's how. Honestly more surprising she didn't do it sooner.

Unless she had unoffical permission from Prince to use it and was trying to make it official - Itsto not like handshake deals from Prince havent already led to problems since his passing. Just a theory, I have no real opinion on her sther way.

Why keep making excuses her? According to Dr. Funkenberry he delivered messages between the two because Prince stopped speaking to her

I don't know because we don't know much about their relationship at all. But I suspect at that point it wasn't a money issue..but some other reason.

Fury lyrics are interesting considering the Dr. Funkenberry delivering messages thing...

If these lyrics are truely autobiographical (and the timeline is correct), he seems to confirm that he wasnt answering his wife's phone calls (but his reasons aren't motivated by anger) and that she suspected him of cheating and retaliated by cheating herself.

You must have heard it on the news this morning

Congratulations! New star is born

Sun to his shadow, rose to a thorn

There ain't no fury like a woman scorned

You all must have dug it, when you did your thing

It's like a song, everybody want to sing

When the music's over, your ears ring

With a voice that's saying, 'Queen got no King"

He got a message saying, you tried to reach him on the 'phone

He didn't want to answer cuz he's so afraid

You'd probably tell him just to leave u alone

I bet you heard he got another band

They're making money, they're making plans

You feel left out, but you need to understand

Word on the street - he's still your man

Look out, here comes your rainy day

But you think you got a good reason to say what's

Always in your heart, come what may

Even though his might get broken

Who's the guilty one when there ain't no judge or jury?

Shadow to the sun, lets do the one

Hell ain't got no fury

Will this song have a happy ending?

Will his heart need a-mending? What's the name?

Only she knows Only the woman knows.

Two sides to every story

One man's gloom, another man's glory

Sun to his shadow, rose to a thorn

Money or someone making a booty call is the only reason I can see him not speaking to her. Remember he stayed friends with loads of his old girlfriends.

Well the original foundation was badly run if we're being honest, which is why the IRS revoked it's exempt status. At least someone can put some use to it's potential.

.

I believe the IRS revoked the exempt status because he didn't file tax returns for (I think) 3 years. The last tax return year I could find on line was 2007 and by that time he had given most away (mostly to JW), there was little money left but a lot of real estate holdings. Don't know what happened after 2007.

.

Someone please refresh my memory.... When they were talking about opening PP, and the parking issue came up, some suggested that they use other property that P owned. Then it was discovered that "Prince" didn't own the property the Love4OneAnother charity owned it so, it couldn't be used for parking. Am I remembering that correctly?? Does anyone know the status of the property owned by L4OA charities?

.

BTW, Kirk was listed as an officer of L4OA on the 2007 tax return. To our legal org'ers: Could Kirk continue to run the charity? Could he decide the disposition of the properties?

I don't know MN law, or if they would have had to have formal legal proceeding to dissolve the foundation, but without their charitable status after 2007 they wouldn't have been able to receive money in a tax-deductible manner, so wouldn't have a way to operate. Some foundations are set up to automatically dissolve through the spending down of all assets, which may be what happened there if they gave everything to JW's after the divorce. I can't imagine the L4OA accounts still having assets after all these years without an IRS charitable tax status, but I guess anything's possible. If they did, and the entity was still in existence, I would assume Kirk would still have legal rights over assets, but I'm only familiar with how things work in NY and DC/MD/VA.

There are two parcels of land across the street from Paisley Park that show the charity as the owner and the care of owner being Bremer Trust.

rogifan, when you discovered the owners of the two parcels of property was it on the official tax rolls listing? Can you look at historical tax assessment rolls? I'm interested to know if there is a difference in property tax status after 2007 and the differences in taxes paid on the property? If it's still owned by L4OA then someone has been paying the property taxes all these years or it would have been taken over by the town/county. The tax exempt/non exempt status of the property and when that might have changed might tell us more about the status. Just guessing and just cruious.
