PrintableGottaLetitgo said: I have spoken of my Dad many times during my posts the last month. I was really close to my father and his death had an enormous impact on me. My father, in his last year, had multiple surgeries to repair various ailments and several weeks before he died he had one that could have gone 50/50 either way and we ended up on the good 50 side. He recovered slowly and then finally enough to go home. He could have and should have stayed at the hospital longer but he was adamant about being in familliar surrondings. He seemed to be doing okay, not great but okay for a couple of weeks and then one night he was eating some chicken and had a stroke. When he had the stroke we were told about two different kinds of suregeries he could have, both risky but one with more of a chance to restore some normal higher activity but more risky than the other. We chose that one and he made it through but overnight he had massive bleeding in his brain and that was it. I am sorry to be graphic but what this presents is a series of choices made, any of them that could be made differently but the end result was the loss of my father. Sometimes, no matter what choice you make you don't get the result you want. I go back to that time to this day and wonder but in the end, his health was really bad, he survived through several brutal surgeries and his body just gave out. Prince maybe could have and should have been helped by someone. Maybe he was being helped, maybe he would only allow so much help. Prince was a free spirit, I can't imagine it was easy for anyone in his circle to change his mind if he was set to do a certain thing. We don't know what happend so I won't speculate. I will say that even with Michael J. Fox's Delorean, we sadly may not have been able to save him. Well said, very detailed. I want to send much condolences to your father! I know he was glad and definitely proud to have you by his side during his last days | |

I know we ALL miss Prince dearly and wish we could go back to potentially save him in various scenarios that have been given! With that being said - you CAN'T question the lord's work and or his will. Prince being a devout Christian knew that as well as anybody. Prince probably wasn't feeling well, but I'm sure he was atleast satisfied in regards to the contributions he gave to this earth and in knowing that , that give him some satisfaction. Prince was a tough dude, and I'm sure he wouldn't want us to be sad for him. | |

Are you people wanting to change the past for him or for you? He was suffering from great pain it would seem and you'd want to prolong that? Don't care for me ffs  | |

interesting question. if EVERYONE but him had this time machine and the foreknowledge, then i would probably just pray for him since those close to him would surely have stepped in more assertively. if i was the only one who had gone back in time, that is a tough one. i would obviously try and help him, possibly by intercepting him at the walgreens or (yes, i know its rude) interrupting his bike ride. i would attempt to warn him about his fate and would have an ipad on which to play for him all the tributes, comments, and tweets about his passing (that i would have been smart enough to capture) so he would believe me. since he had some interesting views about time, he might have been open to it. and then hopefully, he would have been willing to go to a hospital for observation and treatment for whatever this was. "If u love somebody, your life won't be in vain
And there's always a rainbow, at the end of every rain."--peace and love, dear prince..... | |

TrivialPursuit said: Um, I'm not quite sure you understand The Matrix, which means you might still be very much plugged into it. Thank you for pointing that out...I was scratching my head wondering how anyone thought The Matrix is a time travel movie. Or wondering if i missed some important aspect of it...

Perhaps Matrix was a predictive text error for Marty McFly. | |

Forget about a concert, I'd camp out in the damn elevator with my cell phone (screw his rules about no cell phones) and just hold on tight to him until the Dr. got there. He wouldn't die on my watch.

If I could go back? Honestly, I'd just be like, "Well done, good and faithful brother. Go to sleep, now, it's okay."
Since the man obviously did none of that often enough.
Sometimes, seriously, you just know when a body has done everything. And more and more, I am thinking he's gone to a well-deserved rest; he did all he needed to do on this earth. How much more can we ask of him?
More is rude. | |

I would have attended the last Paisley Park party, found a place to hide, so that I could be there for him when he was alone, to help him, comfort him, call for help, hold his hand so he would know he was not alone. | |

. I'm going to take a random guess and assume Prince would probably not have wanted to die. | |

Probably not, but at some point, you gotta just top fucking around. And if the BIL's story is true, he hadn't slept in a week. So, yeah, I stand by what I said. Go to sleep. | |

I would take the winning lottery numbers with me.
At the end of the day, it sounds like Prince was on an unfortunate path, I am sure he was aware of the dangers but he chose to carry on because of the problems/pain he was in, when someone is in that position it is very difficult to change their circumstances or path, especially when they are control freaks and used to make their own decisions without considering others, they will not listen to other peoples advice/guidance, he had too many 'Yes' people around him.
Its like the tour he was on, it doesn't sound like he really needed the money, he was playing smallish venues, so not like he was earning $millions every show, he was not committed to an 18 moth tour with dates sold out etc. You think he would be like 'I don't need this hastle, I'm gonna kick back on a carribean island for a few weeks in private and chill, bring over some some of the best doctors/pain specialists and sort this out.'. I am sure his friends and people close would have offerred this sort of advice, but for some reason Prince wanted to follow his own path of performing and putting himself through all that entails when he knows he is unwell and in a dark place.

Notify TMZ, In Touch, the Enquirer, every seedy gossip website I could think of about the addiction. I hate them, too, but realistically it would probably take something as extreme as that to speed the process of getting him treatment. | |
