I am so disgusted with the media and what they're reporting on Prince. Prince was not a drug addict! He was a cool guy who was health conscious. He worked so hard to change his image and work on his spiritual self, he shouldn't be going down like this! The few who knew him, the many who worked with him are the ones who knew him! I'm still in shock, I'm devistated that he's left us so soon. I'm so hurt at watching the TV and what's being said about him. [Edited 5/16/16 17:01pm]

Do you know him?

You know what's pissed me off more than anything else?

The repeated references to "his Paisley Park mansion". It's not a mansion, it's a recording studio. He did have several mansions. It's just, Paisley Park was not one of them.

Paisley Park should be considered as the American Abbey Road, it's not fucking neverland.

/Rant.

Don't watch it. I stopped a couple of days after his passing, easier that way.

.

His music all the way ever since.

Ignore the media.... they mess with you.

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was wondering when someone would wake up and say that!

Yes don't watch the news media! It just makes it all WORSE!

What the Tabloid media are doing is DISHONESTY, Feeds FEAR and Anger, GREED, and INJUSTICE.

Still would stand all time....

Hopefully in this situation it will come out in the wash, in time.

Not holding my breath though.

The media dumbs down the masses, seems like it's easy to do as well. One guy, Rupert Murdoch controls about a third of the world's news outlets/organisations. One! I don't know about the rest but you got to wonder. Agenda everywhere, distractions. Self serving bullshit, pockets being lined, reputations tarnished, perpetual war. I don't pretend to get it and fully understand, but at the same time, i think i kind of do.

.

Call me a dreamer.

I was starting to get annoyed with the constant 'Prince's women' articles but lately I've realized that it really reminds the masses how he was a sex symbol back in his prime. Just my 2 cents.

SO TRUE!!!! I just wish that they would see him more for his genius than this nonsense other stuff. I especially hate the "All Prince's Women" angles... His many loves.

His first love, his only true love was the music. Most of his women left because he was so dedicated to the music. The women mostly just gave him experience to write about.

America doesn't care about art or music. Just scandal and glorifying drugs and sex.

Stop watching the media. Get on YouTube and watch as many videos as you can. Don't let the press get you down. Prince never did.

Although I still feel guilty about looking at his videos on youtube.

Of course they don't know Prince, to them the bottom line is making money from ratings etc. They pick and choose their targets and mythologise people, places and events in history. Although they have been alot nicer to Prince compared to MJ, Whitney or Amy Winehouse, there is this nasty undertone that is emerging. I don't like it one bit

With MJ, Whitney and Amy you could publicy see the self-dustruction so it played into the media's hands. With Prince they have really nothing to go on apart from pushing the pescription drugs story. They would've loved to pin a scandal on him while he was around, but he already knew how to play the media to his advantage.

The Media IS getting many things right, though. And willful ignorance won't change that. Prince was very troubled, very gullible, especially regarding politics in recent years, very deceptive, very talented, very honest in some interviews and lyrics, and very dishonest about more than a few other things.

Your opinion of Prince doesn't change the fact that he was NOT a drug addict.

Everything I wrote is verifiable FACT. And YOUR opinion of my comment won't change that... and where by the way in MY COMMENT did I mention DRUG ADDICT?
