If Prince is permanently settling in Las Vegas and not coming back to live in Minneapolis, what would happen to Paisley Park?
Would he keep it, sell it, rent it out, turn it into a museum... what do you all think?
This building is by far the most memorable place he's ever worked in.

nothing of the sort's been said. besides, you know full-well that the brotha changes his mind as often as he changes his clothes and girlfriends.

I'm so glad to see you're often interested in my threads Hand
I understand that nothing of the sort's been said which is why I used the conditional tense and words like IF
What do you think, babe?

As far as i know, it is still a fully functioning recording studio with a work force which any body can rent/book time in (please correct me if i am wrong). I doubt he will ever sell it. I think he would rather knock it down than sell it as it is (i think this is what happened with his purple house in minni)

So any fan/musician could rent and record at PP and like leave a demo CD on Prince's desk? Could one also see him and say HI?

I always thought/hoped/dreamed when he dies he'd come back and haunt it.

That has nothing really to do with the thread...uh...oh well.

And like one day the engineers will come in and there'll be shit recorded and they'll be like, "Who did this?! No one was even here last night!!!"

FUNKIN' FROM BEYOND THE GRAAAAAVE.

and the sound of itty-bitty high heeled shoes walking down the hallways at the wee hours of the morning...phantom smells of cap'n crunch at odd times...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

LOL. The funniest thread I posted. You make me laugh out loud today.

it'd be even worse if tony m's ghost were there along with prince's.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

and in the studio where the drum booth is (i forgot which one it's in) you'd hear drums on occasion...and nobody's in the booth. the soundstage would be a super-creepy place to be, i think, since it's so big...

um..im gettin scared

would candles in the shape of dolphins be discovered at doorways, lit and flickering in an un-felt wind?

yeah...and knobs on the studio consoles would randomly move on their own...you'd turn around, and you'd see some weird ghosty blob behind you...







...it would wander over towards you...closer...cloooosssserrrrr...





...then a distant whisper from within the room...















....pancakesssss...

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

dammit - I have to go to work!

i should draw something for this.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Do it, do it!!!!

LOL so nice to see I'm not totally off-base with this one.

Just something I daydream about sometimes...

Can you imagine...haunted Paisley Parties on Halloween....and then, years and years later, after the place is long abandoned and it's all decrepit looking, the teens in the neighborhood will dare each other to break in and spend a whole night in there and provoke Prince's wrathful ghost by blasting FutureSex / LoveSounds inside.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:
