who is Trevor

Use the custom search button on this site. Then enter Trevor

Hucky, you have our support. I love reading the stories about Prince from people who had the opportunity to work for him.
Stories about the Rolex and Per Diem game just gives us a glimpse into Prince the person instead of the Artist we see on stage and the BS we sometimes read in the papers.
So thanks for the Prince stories on your site and I hope everything works out OK for you!

I second this! I have seen Hucky's site and he is doing no harm.

No effin way!


Aw shit Prince done started it now! Now does he really wanna pick a fight w/ this dude?

Hucky I think your stories are awesome, my favorite was the basketball story.

i tell ya, this thread makes me want to cry

things are not the same in Purpledom anymore.

feels like the good times are over.

I know who Trevor is, but what did he do?

Love your site Hucky.....hang in there

I understand that whatever is going on you are trying to keep it on the DL somewhat..But some more info would be really appreciated..Thanks Hucky..Your site is cool ..I cant imagine anyone having an issue with it..! you are very respectful to everyone thats ever been in the Prince camp.

prettymansson said:

i am willing to bet my bottom dollar it is about "control" and stifling of free speech, as appears to be the case lately.

I would like to second this!

I signed up too Hucky. Doesn't sound at all pleasant.

"Somebody" told Hucky to go sit on the cupcake...








...and stick a cherry in it.

Somebody needs to stand up Prince, this shit is getting ridiculous. Thanks Hucky!

...I enjoy Hucky's stories...they are not gossipy or mean spirited...

You got my support

Thought as much, but as it's 7 pages long, just thought I'd throw that out there.

I'll ride with you.


In his own words, "FASCISTS!!"

More and more it seems that Prince is becoming the very thing he railed against as young man. Sad really. I never thought I'd see the day when he'd become a grumpy old man.

I found this on HQ, it’s by Modernaire. Great read
Modernaire

In defense of Hucky, anyone one of you who are so on Prince's lunatic side should read the CONTENT of TPC.

There has been nothing but respectful, fun, funny, nostalgic, great stories, tid bits and factoids on there.

Before you start taking some ridiculous supposed high road, take at look and READ at True Prince Stories. Here's the link, spend some time on it... http://www.trueprincestories.com

Now, if Hucky is also on the radar, Prince himself is not reading the site or gettng it. And its just too close a degree at that point. From my impression Hucky is extremely tight with almost everyone in the Prince related family circle.

So for any attack on Hucky, therefore, its my view, that it may come full circle on Prince. Not that he cares about anyone from the past obviously. But there's an island on the horizon I can sort of see it.

Not cool one bit. Hucky was not just an employee from what I've heard and read and the impression I get, but was also part of a tight family of friends who til this day still support each other in the MPLS.

If what I suspect is in development, I simpy cannot see why this does not reached a larger media outlet like say Rolling Stone or various pro musician, industry and mainstream entertainment outlets. This harrassment with the pretext of "reclaiming the internet".

Now, let me address some of these opposing views below...(rolling up my sleeves...)...

I must admit for a second my curiosity got the best of me, but I have changed my mind. It is not cool for Prince's former director of security to be threatening to tell his secrets. That is unprofessional, and unethical.


I have not read anywhere that Hucky is threatending to tell Princes' secrets. On the TCP, there have just been great, compelling, and wonderful little stories shared and a great deep collection of old photos Prince DOES NOT OWN.

So please, tel us where you have read or heard these threats. Unethical is claiming ownership of images or media video that you do not own, even if they recorded you. Thats fucking umprofessionol and unethecal...I cant even type right.

Well, to tell you the truth?!!!

I wouldn't appreciate an employee of mine (past or present), using (exploiting) me. If you want to talk about yourself, so be it, make your own "HUCKY" website... I'm sure you have family, friends and all (stories)?! Go ahead!

But, to mention stories of others (employers) without their consent (OK) is not cool with me!


Hucky has shared, if you even want to visit his website, stories from his point of view, nothing terribly sinister or exposing, just stories about visiting Japan on the Parade tour, the good ole days, and stories related to other members of the Paisley era's like the Revolution, Various former dancers, Cat, etc.

I see it as someone close, now successful, sharing a few great stories with fans as if they were in a fan meet and great or at the backstage area shooting away some great recollections. Great stuff you can sort of gleamingly read or "hear" and go, wowl, thats so cool man!

Gohi said on 10-10-07 - 22:57
Seriously.

I support Prince in his "bullying" of your website. Didn't you sign an agreement not to tell people about this stuff? Regardless, I would be pissed too.


And when was this agreement over, if there even WAS any agreement. What?! You can't talk about your time with Prince for your lifetime??!?!? Get the...! Please.

How can you even say you support ANY "bullying"....I'm appalled.

Who let these...!?

Again, for those fans that...(deep exhale)...that actually support Prince's BULLYING, go to http://www.trueprincestories.com/ and you may JUST enjoy and APPRECIATE Hucky's very cool stiories and very pro vibe.




Edited becaus I'm shaking my Purple Rain tour photographs in anger as I type.

^ did you mean to do that? You incorporated a bunch of other posts in the middle of Modernaire's post?

txladykat said:

Yes

NOSLEN633CSI said:

ok, just hard to make sense of it when you can't tell which parts are actually Modernaire's then. can be misleading as to what Modernaire actually posted.

I only saw harmless g rated stories on TPS and I took it as Hucky sharing his own life experiences even though it says Prince stories.

What to do? True Bodyguard Stories maybe???

babynoz said:

I know, right?
he is not hanging Prince's dirty laundry out there. Sheesh!

I think it's actually a compliment to Prince,that the site has all these positive stories about what it is like to work for him. So I'm really confused about where the logic is,in bullying a man that hasn't done anything as far as I can see which is in anyway disrespectful to the image of Prince? If anything it is a tribute site for Prince and the others and a way for Hucky to reminisce.Leave the man alone.

purpleoz said:

Totally agree those stories are respectful of Prince and positive !
So Prince, if you read this, please leave that site alone. Thanks!

Dear Supporters of TPS:

Thank you for supporting my stance to not be bullied as regards the True Prince Stories website. I literally received thousands of emails.

I wanted to report that I have been in touch with the powers-that-be and we have reached a compromise, and I will continue to post interesting and entertaining interviews and photos. Although we are not going away, there will be some minor changes to the website.

I do want to make a few very important remarks about all of this:

• It was NEVER my intention to in any way harm or damage Prince. I simply spent a good deal of time in his company, and wanted to revisit some of the "good old days" with old friends/colleagues/co-workers and new friends who are fans of the man, the music, and the entire era.

• Secondly, Prince DOES CARE about his fans. That was emphasized to me today. He is most assuredly not interested in people who are telling false stories, or capitalizing on his image without his permission. He has been informed that True Prince Stories is not about that, I will work diligently to assure the site content remains above the board and respectful

Thank you again for the encouragement and support.
Sincerely,

Harlan "Hucky" Austin

That is what people don't seem 2 get. I've been reading all kinds of non-sense as it relates 2 Prince and the whole Housequake situation. (an example)
People are just making stuff up, and has no clue about the true nature of certain situations. Unfortunately, Prince's silence only propels the lies. At least in this instance, your position has been articulated clearly. I wish Prince would state his position but I know that he will not.

Score 1 for the truth.

P.S.....I still can't stand Trevor.
