Works for me. But maybe you need to be subscribed to the group Purple Family? That's where I found it. https://www.facebook.com/...mp;fref=nf

UGGGGG all these stupid closed Prince groups on FB, like someone's telling Prince secrets they don't want anyone else to know or something.

just tonight I was speaking to someone who knew someone who'd visited PP, they saw P just lounging around outside so they asked him "why do you let people come into your house and mess it up?" He said "it wouldn't matter, they'd do it anyway". I don't think that's true, I believe he opened his place simply because he enjoyed it, of course there were downsides, people stealing shit and fucking shit up but a man as private as Prince wouldn't have done it for no reason. He must have loved having them there. And yes, that is a huge contradiction when we know what we know about the man. No star of his calibre has ever opened up his place of residence-work-business-play to the public in that way.

Agreed, he should have done even more of it and probably would have. A lot better for him than closing himself off from everyone.

He wasn't talking about Paisley Park literally, it seems to me - at least not as his speech went on.

.

He was using it as a metaphor (just as in the song, 'Paisley Park') to refer to heaven:

.

He says this:

.

'In my house, there are no crazy people...Everybody takes care of one another...Next time we see each other, it's going to be in Paisley Park...If you don't know the way, get somebody to show you...We sing together; we dine together; we love together...'

Found this audio clip on Facebook. Apparently it's from his last show in Amsterdam. When Prince says in my house we take care of one another and when you come to my house I need you to take care of it...I just lose it. Then I really lose it when he says "Next time we see each other it's going to be at Paisley Park". I noticed several times on his 2014/2015 tour he asks the crowd to come to his house. I find it interesting that he was being so sentimental about Paisley Park. I know he's invited the public in before but this seemed different. Just a weird (now sad) feeling. https://www.facebook.com/...487906977/ [Edited 9/3/16 22:15pm]

Wowww...I've just thought...He never went back to Amsterdam before he died, right? And we KNOW he often used PP as a metaphor for a heavenly utopia (as per the song - see my post above this one)...

'Next time we see each other, it's going to be in Paisley Park'.


Are you really going to tell me I'm imagining this???

I've been thinking about his tweet the Sunday after his Friday accidental overdose on the plane. He tweeted controversy about the news item. I thought it was "I just can't believe all the things people say". But now I think he meant "some people wanna die so they can be free ..." Playing Russian roulette with illicit street meds? Gee Prince I am so gonna beat your ass when I meet you one day 1000 light years from here. [Edited 9/4/16 7:02am]

That's deep. Damn.

He said something similar during one of the piano shows in Auckland. "This time I came to you, next time, you can come to me. You're all welcome at Paisley Park." Something like that. He also said "This is the first time I've played here. It certainly won't be the last." So I don't know how much to read into it, or what to take away from it.

I never thought Prince fans would have so much in common with Tupac fans. I don't know what to make of his statements onstage, but they could very well be intentionally indecipherable.

well as Prince's song goes. Paisley Park is always in your heart! So I think he meant both literally PP if he had of lived long enough to do more shows but I think he also meant it in a spiritual sense as well. I do not think there is a wrong answer in this either way you slice it!

Paisley Park was indeed a "heavenly" place for Prince. That was his "happy place", where all his dreams came true. His spirit will be there, always.
