I don't know maybe 90's folks are a bit jealous of the folks before and after that period who have more personal stories to tell about Prince. I think it's safe to say that the Prince of the 90s and the Prince of say, 2002-2016 are very different people. Prince mellowed out a lot as he got older. Morris Hayes is one of the few band members who was there in the 90s and 2000s so he would have the best perspective. Paisley Park is in your heart

I can't speak for anyone else...and I did enjoy the other stories you shared...but I think the problem with the potty story was, considering P's privacy and dignity post 4/21, it sorta feels unecessarily invasive, that's all.
for myself, it would've felt different hearing the story in person in a private setting...but that same story in a globally public setting just felt...wrong.

. I thought it was fine. It didn't seem at all like you were trying to sully his name or anything like that. |

I missed this entire thread (bummer) but I can tell you that if you're wanting to write a book about your time with Prince and it's respectful- I'll buy it! I love hearing from the "real" people with the inside stories, like Robin Power and this book Devin Devasquez just wrote. These stories seem so real and human about Prince and I prefer these kinds of behind the scenes real talk- way more than I expect to enjoy, say, Mayte's book (nothing against Mayte I'm just sure it's going to be sort of glossed over stuff we already know- but I could be wrong- we'll see...._ ) anyway- good luck! I hope you do write a book.... | |

Your stories didn't offend me, but your username? Ouch, that's a little harsh! | |

. That's certainly understandable. But depending on the information being presented (and the person reading it) there are cases where it could be beneficial from a health standpoint. |

"Hi... I can assure you there are no ill intentions. (That's why there are certain stories I'll keep to myself)... I'm a 40 year old man, working a 40-hour per week phone job. The one thing that separates me from the other corporate worker drones is my past with Prince.
For years I tried to block those memories from my mind (long story). Now, as a middle-aged man, I am realizing how valuable those experiences are." I love to write but have never had a good excuse. I thought it would be nice to share some of the fun stories that I recall. Trust me, there won't be anything that rocks the boat too much... just recollecting valuable times.[/quote] I believe you. Other than the poop story (which I would have to agree is TMI), I don't recall there being anything overtly offensive in your first-hand account. Thank you again for sharing. It takes guts to jump into this shark tank. [Edited 3/2/17 11:10am] | |

Oh come on we've all walked into a public restroom and seen that someone has left a dirty toilet. Big whoop you flush it and move on. Not that it matters in the grand scheme of things but what if, just what if it wasn't Prince's poop, he was just reporting it, and felt dumb because he didn't just go in and flush? The guy was human. Don't any of you see how really special Prince was talent-wise because he WASN'T a god, he was just human? I'm still amazed at how one human being could have been that talented.
Prince had a private bathroom! [Edited 3/2/17 11:30am] | |

I assumed he would have had a private bathroom too...lol Swear you don't miss the organ grinder grinding on you every day. | |

I'm pretty sure the poop was rdhull's. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
