But we can't talk about why he is no longer here. Some of us care about what happened to Prince and the reasons why this happened to him. as far as I know, we can talk about that, just not about drugsI asked Prince what he was planning to do. He told me , I'm going to look for the ladder. I asked him what that meant. All he said was, sometimes it snows in April. - book D.M.S.R. | |

I dont have an answer because I dont understand the procedure used in Minnesota's "Notice of Filing Order" and I dont want to bog you down on how we do it in my state. It appears as though someone from Administration prepares this Notice, and the number of names on the list changes almost every time they file one. We know Van Jones is representing Omarr, and Tyka but he isnt even on the Notice of Filing Order (he should be?). It could be Claire is appealing the decision of the Judge so she will remain on the list of Notices. It could also be a clerical error. So my answer is: I dunno

The Grammys ceremony, on Feb. 12, is the focus of a major marketing campaign set up by the music companies that have rights to release Prince’s songs, and by the streaming services that have been hungry to carry the music but were blocked from doing so by Prince himself before he died last year at 57.
If all goes according to plan, Prince’s music will be made available on virtually all streaming services around the time of the Grammys, where an all-star musical tribute to Prince is expected to be one of the show’s splashiest moments. To promote the music’s availability online, Spotify is expected to run a number of promotional spots, including, perhaps, a television ad during the broadcast and a series of online teasers to begin as early as next week, according to several people with direct knowledge of the plans who were not authorized to speak about them. Spotify declined to comment.The Grammys ceremony, on Feb. 12, is the focus of a major marketing campaign set up by the music companies that have rights to release Prince’s songs, and by the streaming services that have been hungry to carry the music but were blocked from doing so by Prince himself before he died last year at 57.

Spotify declined to comment. “The drivers of what will happen with Prince will be the estate,” said L. Londell McMillan, a lawyer who represented Prince and is one of two experts advising the estate’s administrators on entertainment deals. “When you are looking to release product, you’re looking for the right moments. The Grammys may represent a moment in time, but it’s not certain that that’s going to be the case.”
Randy Grimmett, a Global Music Rights executive, said that before he died, Prince had been considering managing his performing rights himself, a burden that few musicians could manage. “He would have been the first — and only — major artist that I know of to have taken that on,” Mr. Grimmett said.

Hmm...🤔 [Edited 1/25/17 0:49am] Prince was seeking to run things with his LLC. Does anyone think that multiple deals were put in place in the best interest of the estate if Londell was getting a 10% cut? Why can't the estate hire an entertainment law firm to oversee the LLC and continue to run his businesses. | |

Bingo, LR! The Estate needs a John Eastman or a John Branca - someone at that level, who has been working in the music industry FOR DECADES AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL! The non-excluded heirs have no experience with money at Prince's level. You cannot hire your pal, or your dead brother's ex-lawyer because you know him, to run an international empire. By excluding LM and VJ, the judge is admitting IMO that the estate is out of control and that the siblings are fighting - someone has to interject some sanity into the proceedings. | |

I am sure the new bank will find compentent lawyers but I am not going to shade Tyka and Omarr if that fool Londell was cutting deals for himself and refusing to explain where the money from the tribute concert is and trying to sell the entire catalogue. I am not going to say they were wrong for not going along with the other sibs who I think just want to cash out.
Omarr and Tyka should just see if the other sibs can be brought out and send on their way.

That would have been Londell and Kopplemen's responsiblity. I hope this deal will stand so the estate can get good merchandise out and get rid of the bootlegg stuff. I also hope Londell did not fuck this up with some side deal for himself. Let's hope the deal was directly with the estate and nothing funny was going on. | |

If there was any truth to that, Police surely could confirm that there was a phone call between Prince and Jennifer on the 20th. It seems stupid to claim something that can easily be verified by the authorities... I mean, isn't there a penalty for perjury? [Edited 1/25/17 4:58am] | |

Londell is no good and while Van Jones was a friend of Prince and might be a great guy he's out of his league here. Paisley Park is in your heart

Hmm...🤔 [Edited 1/25/17 0:49am] Hmmmm is right, this says a lot. Can see who was in this for the $. Seems Londell did the tribute concert just so he can get paid [Edited 1/25/17 8:53am] | |

A new claim w.r.t. Purple Rain: http://www.mncourts.gov/m...aim_12.pdf . So now we learn that Prince did not write it all? Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry. | |

I have an administrative question to ask. Maybe someone reading can answer the question for me. Once the heirs are determined, will the Estate pay them the proceeds from streaming, records, merchandise, etc., periodically? I assume the Estate will remain open for several years to come. Thanks! | |

Bremer is requesting the Court to unseal the Artist Equity Term Sheet filed by Roc Nation. They argue there is no reason for it to be sealed. Roc Nation filed another wordy document stating the request should be denied or in the alternative Roc Nation wants a hearing on the issue of unsealing the document.

And now he has sealed Tyka and Omarr's objections regarding Jobu Presents. Is that another Prince company? | |

1Sasha said: And now he has sealed Tyka and Omarr's objections regarding Jobu Presents. Is that another Prince company? No, this was a company that magically formed to help stage the Triubute concert. There was suppose to be an advance to the estate but Jobu backed out and Tyka and Omarr want to know where the money went to and did Londell have a hand in forming Jobu. | |

It is nice to see this disallowance. I wonder how close to the end of his rope Judge Eide is with this claims. | |

Hopefully he is getting close to stopping all this nonsense so they can get on with it. | |

The disallowance does mention the time for filing claims has passed so anyone making claims now can forget it. | |
