This Christmas is going to be hard for her - and a lot of people. Re Turks & Caicos: she wasn't there last New Year's. I don't know about Dec 2014 or Dec 2013. Re the french interview: I think Prince was on a high just having discovered a new protege (a new inspiration AND, I believe, a new obsession). The beginnings of an obsession is one of the best highs there is. He had also not slept in many hours. Neither had Andy. Her eye puffs give that away. She did well in this interview regardless.

This Christmas will, indeed, be hard for many of us, angel, but this post (and thread) just happens to be about Prince and Andy Allo. And, unless someone has evidence to the contrary, I'm operating under the informed assumption that AA and P were still emotionally involved, indeed madly in love, and trying to find their way back to each other. Thus, in this sense, her grief is unique.

.

With regard to T & C, she probably wasn't there last year. Who knows if Prince was even there last NYE? Not that it matters, relative to my point that Andy is known to have spent NYE on the island with Prince. Even if it was only for one year, the place must hold extreme sentimental value for her. So, I reiterate: Before P's T & C estate is sold, I hope AA gets to spend a bit of time there to re-trace their footsteps along his private beach and watch the fishermen on Turtle Bay.

.

Lastly, during the French interview, Prince was almost giddy. I guess some would call it a "high," but he was clear-eyed and clearly in charge. He and Andy were definitely new during this interview, but you could still see that she had a profound effect on him. They had just left Montreal, where, if I'm not mistaken, she took the stage for the first time as a member of the New Power Generation. Your choice of the word "obsession" is interesting, though. Is that intended to minimize Prince's budding feelings for Andy, which were already on display during this interview? Lastly, what is being in love, if not an "obsession," of sorts?

1) Prince was performing in St. Bart's last New Year's Eve. Andy was at a house party in LA. 2) I agree that he was still in her life some of the time after 2012 or 2013. 3) There is a very big difference between love and an obsession. The difference is everything. 4) Prince loved mentoring these young people and he also loved them. He was also human. Hope you're having a good day. Looking forward to seeing you on the Org later on. .

What do Prince and Andy's itineraries last NYE have to do with anything? I'll tell you: NOTHING. It is yet another of your straw man arguments. Here's the bottom line: We now know that Prince put TWO rings on Andy's engagement/wedding ring finger. In reasonable minds, that qualifies as much more than mentoring and "obsession." Some, however, are obsessed with attempting to minimize Prince and Andy's relationship, for whatever reason. I invite you to carry on with that agenda, angel, but it won't fly on this thread. See you around the org...and even when I don't see you on this thread, I always know that you are here . Later, my friend.

I'm sorry you consider Prince's collaboration with Andy to be so personal. For me, there's no competition...nothing to protect, nothing to defend, no positions to take. I express my insights like everybody else, and I'll continue to do so freely. Hopefully I will allow others the same benefit. I love you. Ciao for now.

Wonderful! I love you more, my friend!! And, you can count on me to continue to lovingly provide context and facts as needed.

Andy Allo Live at The Mint in Los Angeles Last Evening ::: Acoustic "This Christmas" ::: It looks like she is wearing the hat and the shirt (matching or the same one) that Prince wore at Le Grand Journal in Paris in 2011, when he reportedly announced during the interview that he was wearing Andy's clothes because his luggage was lost.

.

Dr. Funkenberry provided a better photo of Andy at The Mint on his Instagram.

That photo that Dr. Funkenberry posted is a nice one. Thanks for posting it. It would be great for Dr. Funkenberry to interview Andy Allo. Hopefully, that will happen soon.

That would definitely be a big "get" for Dr. FNB.

In that case, she TOTALLY outFROed him, as I think his hair was still straight. LOL. BTW: I absolutely LOVE this picture. He seemed to be having a LOT of fun.

"If I Was a King," sung from a man's perspective, is the seventh track from Andy Allo's Superconductor album. Prince Vault reports that AA "stated in concert that she wrote this song for 'someone,' but that that person didn't want to use it themselves, so she kept it. It is likely she wrote the song for Prince, but this is unconfirmed." Read More...

I thought I had already shared this video, but alas, I had not. No better time than the present to remedy that. As well, I have some other things on deck that I never posted because of the twists and turns of the thread, so I'm warning in advance that some of them might seem random (and out of order) when I post them.

Thanks for this thread; discovered 'U Will b' because of the posts here. What a great song....

Here is a cute photo that Andy posted today on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com...LQ4hOhZdk/ The hat is reminiscent of the Parade era.

I see what you mean, Latin. This definitely brings to mind Prince and Parade.

Seems a great time to show Prince in one of his signature hats. I really love this one with the chin strap. Can't you just hear "Mountains"????

On tonight's "Music Monday," Andy sang a portion of a beautiful new song (about Prince??) that she's working on for her forthcoming album. It's called "Dandelion."

.

.

Here are some of the poignant and deeply personal lyrics:

.

"Dandelion"

.

I met him at twenty-one

That's when I wanted everything

And always so headstrong.

You told me I was too young to love

But I just wanted to be with him

.

Boy, the memories we'd make.

Oh, the mistakes we'd make.

And all the adventures we'd take

Along the way

.

That's why I say

Dandelion, float away

Forever I'll follow.

Dandelion, here today,

And gone tomorrow.

Dandelion

Can I take you any higher, Dandelion?

.

And you caught me deep in your jungle

Found ways I shouldn't have (????????)

Of falling through the cracks

And you taught me words often crumble.

So is there any room for me

in your journal?

.

Oh, the memories we'd make.

Oh, the mistakes we'd make.

And all the adventures we'd take

Along the way

.

That's why I say

Dandelion, float away

Forever I'll follow.

Dandelion, here today,

And gone tomorrow.

Dandelion

.

Can I take you any higher, Dandelion?

I just listened to "Dandelion" again. It is so bittersweet. As one commenter said: "From where he is, your Tender Lion 💜😉 must be very proud of you with this wonderful song. Your voice is sublime. I look forward to your next album🎸🎤. " Without a doubt, I think Prince would absolutely this song.

Latin said:

That is a great song. Let's hope it becomes a single off her upcoming album.

.

I could definitely see it as a single, perhaps even the title track. There is just something about the image of dandelions, with the seeds/pappuses blowing in the wind, that capture's the suddenness of Prince's passing. Here today, gone tomorrow...

I've always wondered about the backstory on (and the origins of) this photo that I first saw on the "Oui Can Luv" YouTube single.

Holy shit how is this thread even being allowed to pander on this long? It's literally been carried on by two org members and that's it. It also should be in the Associated thread and not here. Nobody cares about this. No one. Please get a job.

The thread covers Prince and Andy Allo's collaboration. Theoretically, only those who are interested click the link.
