I haven't found any easter eggs like Prince looking out a window yet...

If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot.

I don't know who put it together, but it is really cool.

Pretty cool. Looks like they used the 3D Buildings app. Wonder what it looks like right now regular and from Street View? I get lost in Google Sky for hours and never think to use the regular Google Earth anymore.

The dome will be where he houses his new purplespacerocket to use for travelling to and fro gigs instead of using regular airlines. A bit like Thunderbirds.

I LOVE Google Earth.

Building Paisley Park was probably the smartest move Prince ever made in his entire career. I bet that joint has EVERYTHING you could ever want, or need, inside. I bet there's rooms, corridors, and sub-basements in there that NO ONE get's to see. And he's probably got a security system hard-wired to that crib that would put James Bond to shame, lol. I bet he can monitor everything that's going on at Paisley Park from anywhere in the world through an app on his smart phone, lol.

That's how I'd have it hooked up anyway, lol.

How about converting the 3D file in that video game so we can go inside of it (not sure if it's one file or several)?

I really don't get how it's creepy. This is publicly available information. It's not like it lets you look through his windows like some peeping tom or something. Didn't he say he planned to re-open it to the public anyway? rolleyes

I'm just saying...

I thought there was word of him building some sort of a church on the property after the Musicology tour? Don't quote me, though, because I'm really not sure. That could be a different building, too. *shrug*

People saying something as public as this is "creepy" is just ridiculous. There are thousands of 3D buildings on Google Earth. That's part of the whole appeal and draw of it, is to not only see pictures from the aerial point of view, a wikipedia linked view, or even street view, but a 3D view. It's about exploration. So stop with the "creepy" nonsense talk.

Seriously, though. I can look at an overhead AND street view of nearly every place I've ever lived on Google Earth. In one case (a house I no longer live in) you can actually see right in the front window on street view. Although it's unfortunate, I don't think it's "creepy". It's just the way it is.

Maybe creepy isnt the right word. Places like Paisley Park or other public places are fine and can be quite interesting to look at, but like the Cerebus orger said, Ive seen stuff where u can literally see inside peoples houses and what kind of car people are driving etc. There was one with a child standing outside its house and another where my neighbour front door was open, u could zoom right inside she was mortified. Imagine if u was hiding from some crazy ex they could find u pretty easy using it...but its hard to get the balance between freedom and privacy and we dont want things to be censorshipped like they do in places like china and korea etc, coz when u start banning this and that u end up with a controlled medium which I don't think anyone this side of the world wants. So its really a case of put up or shut up me thinks.

Its not stalking, its democratic people's privileges. Besides Paisley Park is Visible, but you will all notice his house has been airbrushed out, all you see is a patch of bare earth, but you know its his property as you can see the windmill and lake nearby. Its about 500m to the north of Paisley Park. Its Prince who wants to impose a Socialist Exclusivistic Republic around himself. Hes a hermit I guess.

So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time

I think everyone would spare themselves the view of bicycling tranny, or a hideous bria if you like.

Poor prince's eye sight, it must have been severely damaged by now.

By the wild honey, you know Prince only took up biking because he has been fascinated by a lady coming from the land of bikes, where the streets actually have private roads for the bikes...I wonder where that could be ....

Now tell me P visited this land on his tour, and did he bring his private tranny clown along ?

Perhaps you can go into details on why or why not.

Its great, I have place pegs on them on my copy of Google Earth. If any of you guys want to see what city I live in, fly to 36.51 South, 174. 50 East, if you see the sky tower you're in the right spot.

These kind of threads are pretty creepy. Goes a bit too far even for me. I HATE google earth anyway! I swear you can't have any privacy in this day and age, and if all the crimes aren't enough to prove that the internet and it's technology are dangerous! Prince deserves his privacy folks!

Prince is GORGEOUS. I'm inspired. GOD is GREAT. Is there anything else to say? lol

Somebody ought to put that in a video game. You could play an IRS agent dispatched to Paisley, I could just imagine running after Prince, the objective would be to get to him before he gets to lock himself in the vault. His weapon of choice would be purple bananas thrown behind him (mariokart style) in an effort to make you slip up. Or possibly he could set larry off on you witnessing, you have to slap him repeatedly with a rolled-up Watchtower cause once gets into his speech, it's game over!
