did anyone ever call this number

Many, many times. It was his independant outlet for selling merch, much of it exclusive. Probably best known for the compilation album of the same name and for the outlet for the exclusive version of Crystal Ball. Good times...

"For those that know the number and don't call... Fuck all y'all!"

“Everything you think is true,” (at the weby's your speeh was limited to 5 words... so that was Prince's ... but then he sang "don't play me" Loopholed!

this one song has me tearing up:

I am the universe
The sun, the moon and sea
I am the energy
4 that is what I believe
I can be contradiction
'cause that is all I see
But I am the universe
And the universe is me

I am the one song (Ah yes)
And that one song is free
All things come from this one song (Yes they do, uh)
The garden and the tree
If everything, everything is present
What is will always be
This here is the first and the last song
And all that come between

When language falls like a wounded soldier
And it's covered by the sea
All the sadness
All these unanswered questions
Keep me company
(Company, company, company come 2 me, come 2 me please!)
Here at the center of it all
(I know)
I know that U can only come from me

(I am the universe)
Yes it will, oh, yes it will
(The sun, the moon and sea)
Where else is it gonna come from but me?
(I am the universe)
Oh my, my my my my my my my universe
(The universe is me)
(I am the universe)
(The sun, the moon and sea)
(I am the universe)
(We are the universe) {x2}
(The universe is me)
One truth (One truth)
One song (One song)
One energy

Iam going to miss Prince and Vanity so much! Iam glad to know they are together again in heaven. I was still grieving over Vanity when I heard the news of Prince death. Iam in in awe and shock. I'd like to thank Tyka Nelson and the Nelson family for the purple gift boxes. That was so sweet of them to do and Tyka greeting the fans.

My question got selected one week. It was right after a Paisley gig. I was right up front that night, and he looked down at me at smiled for a second. Then the next day, I noticed my question was selected. I thought he had psychic powers or something.

I asked, "Can you name any of the songs from the new Rave album?"

His response, "Yes can! "

At 42 thousand feet above the sea
That's where you and I first came to be
From the dust of the earth and the knowledge tree
Te amo corazon

At last, I can tell you what I've known so long
My heart's been crying out to sing this song
I don't care who knows it 'cause there's nothing wrong
Te amo corazon

So scared of losing you
I really don't know what I'd do
Can't bare the thought of another day apart
My heart, my heart, corazon

At once when I first laid eyes on you
I saw Heaven and earth anew
Everyone else saw my brown eyes no longer blue
Te amo corazon

Ugh, just read an article by a Minneapolis writer named Neil Karlen I wish I hadn't read. He states that he knew Prince and wrote articles about him in the 1980s. He states that Prince wasn't scared of dying but that his biggest fear was dying alone. But, he can't really say what was in Prince's mind in all the years he hadn't known him nor at the end. The fact is that we all die alone, whether we are surrounded by people or not. It is a journey we must all face alone...until we meet those who wait on the other end. My greatest comfort when my beloved Grandmother passed away many years ago was knowing that she was not cognizant of the physical people in the room with her but that her eyes were clear, wide open, and focused on what we could not see, and that she was speaking to her brother and sister who had already passed on... And I knew that they had come to help her on her journey home. This is what I believe in regard to Prince...and for all of us when our time comes. Even when we are physically alone, we are never truly by ourselves.

Someone mentioned in the concerts forum that during the show at Paisley in January that out of the blue he spoke about having lucid dreams and meeting those who have passed on. He was saying and doing odd out of character little things for the past few months.

I remember reading this, too. That, along with other instances, does make one wonder if he knew his time wasn't going to be long here with us for much longer in hindsight (not that he knew when). I do know that, for myself today, I'm going to watch Shawshank Redemption again, one of my favorite movies...with the immortal line from Morgan Freeman: "Get busy living or get busy dying." That movie always inspires me, especially the ending.

I heard the Piano and a Microphone concert from January at Paisley Park and he did say that So I think he knew his time was short.

I am pretty sure I saw Prince for the first time on one of these shows too

I always loved that Cube was a Prince fan....just too cool. Hearing I Wanna Be Your Lover opening one of his movies was just lovely

I'm trying to recall when I first noticed that his look and demeanor seemed out of the ordinary. Was it January?

I recall that I thought he looked paler than usual in his recent pics and I thought it was odd about the book but I think I didn't truly become alarmed until the emergency landing.

Now the world is broken and I don't know why it had to happen.

I am so ready for APRIL to be over.
