Went by Paisley Last week...

I was in town visiting family a few weeks ago and decided to take a drive down to Paisley and the Yellow house.How sad it all seems. I remember driving down Galpin Blvd and seeing his big yellow windmill in the back yard and now it's all gone except for the guard shack.Paisley is all locked up and I just sat there remembering all the incredable performances there and there was always this energy that used to flow from that building..Oh well just needed to vent

No, Al's right. The house near Paisley (in Chanhassen) was yellow. The purple house was in Eden Prairie.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Paisley Park is all locked up? It's not rented out for production work?

My friend's sister and her husband lived across the street from Prince for years...I thought the house was white...but I could be mistaken...and I don't call people for those types of things...I wish I had visited Lisa...but I didn't.

Al, you're right about the yellow house...what I find interesting is that
the guard house was completely renovated shortly before the house was razed.
It seemed like the destruction of the house was almost an "on the spot" decision.

As for Paisley Park, it's not completely locked up...things still go on there.
Some days the parking lot is full of cars and people coming and going.
I haven't been by there for about a month though, so maybe things have
changed in that time.

I really hope that Paisley Park is never gone...however if it's sold to
someone else, I'd feel let down as well. It's Prince to me, and always
will be Prince. I can't imagine him ever destroying all those beautiful
studios....they had to cost a pretty mint. But I guess Prince does what
he wants to do and always will, so we as fans just have to accept that,
as hard as it seems.

First off Prince doesn't ride around in a limo when he's in Mn unlesss he has a special event to go to and even then he rarely is in a limo. Do people really think Prince would ever sell Paisley Park ? Give me a break,it's his own personal sanctuary/playground!. Also artists usually dont rent a studio ,like Paisley for 'a recording session'. They rent it to produce an entire project. Just because you don't see cars don't mean theres nothing going on there cough underground garage cough.

That's not entirely true. Prince has ridden in limos to go to bars and see shows around town and his former bodygaurd, Hucky said that P even took a limo to play basketball with the guys at a community center in Powderhorn. shrug

Man, I can't believe Paisley Park is all locked up!!! WTF???? I miss the celebrations, when Prince used to perform at Paisley, and had guest musicians. Those were the days! Such great memories, ones that I will never forget. sigh
