Private residence? And therefore would be like any other home when the owner is away. Like yours is now?

Paisley Park has never has been Princes "private residence". He doesn't live there.

Probably neglected as he probably fired the cleaning staff for talking about his imperial highness. It sad as it may have been revolutionary in 1987, now in the 2010s, looks hopelessy dated and overgrown, no doubt like his career.

Its sad. Some one went there last year and took photos and the place looked sad, weeds, wallpaper peeling off walls, the last makeover seems to be from the Emancipation period.

I reckon by 2030 it will be demolished and there will be a petrol station or a Carls Jr on the site.

I'm in the Minni right now for a little Labor Day vacation and went by Paisley. The place was absolutely DEAD and looked like NOONE was onsite. Does anybody know what the current status is of the facility?

I live close to Paisley Park and I can confirm that it's that way 90% of the year. Every now and then you may see a couple of cars parked there, but that's about it.

Since Prince barely live in Minny anymore, I don't think you can call it stalking

Wow - that IS sad.

he was just there a few months ago rehearsing....and broadcasting the live feeds of the rehearsals...in July

Why does he keep it then if it's dormant? I think Prince needs to learn the Buddhist values of non-attachment.

Yes, before then this year, not more than a couple days here and there this year. There's your 10%....

Oh, good grief.

The guy wants to be able to work when he wants to work. What is he supposed to do? Pay for studio time or rent rehearsal space when he's in Minneapolis? Take a chance on someone getting hold of his work and leaking it?

It's probably just more economical for him to keep the place. He'll never get out of it what he's sunk into it.

I don't particularly have an opinion on this one way or another but maintaining a huge building like that just to rehearse and record once in a while seems totally decadent and wasteful. That's why I asked the question; maybe there's something I don't know. Coz if he's keeping it just as a personal studio then that's totally crazy.

Gotta love judgment disguised as a question.

No, it's conditional judgement. If he's really just keeping it as a personal studio (or even as a financial asset) then yeah, I think it's misguided, especially for someone with spiritual pretensions. But maybe there's something I don't know.....
