Paisley Park a lonesome kingdom without Prince

by Christopher Borrelli

"...If you can read between the lines and offer the rigorous eye that an often-groundbreaking artist demands, I recommend a visit to Paisley Park. What Prince created here was complicated, an elaborate system for reassuring himself he was still the king, even as he shifted from iconoclastic superstar to nostalgia act. He seemed to surround himself with a web of employees who met his whims and allowed room to create whatever he dreamed up but probably couldn't offer much in the way of criticism...Still, there's a touching sadness at the margins, an ennui to the coldness of Paisley Park.

"...it's tough to pretend this place was a monument to the artistic urge when it seems so much now like a mausoleum of lonesomeness. Whatever Prince was doing in Paisley Park had to be released to the world, and increasingly the response was indifference."

to Rogifan: Would it be possible for you to post a picture from Paisley Park in this season's first snow? Thanks!

Thank you so much, Rogifan, to share this view. And no, the quality of the picture isn't poor at all. (I think you had some tears in your eyes- at last my sight is blurred). What a beautiful start of this Thursday.

I was just over on my Ebay page and there was a banner at the top of the page advertising the tours, so hopefully they are doing alright.
