I'd like to see MN use their $17 million share of his estate taxes to buy that big Galpin property and dio something like that there. It hasn't come up for sale yet, oddly. .


Don't forget the ballet/jazz/etc dancers running thru the atrium to master class.



I picture a less gritty/more purple zen version of our LaGuardia School of Performing Arts (erm, the school in NY from the movie Fame).



wink cool

I still hold a vision of Paisley Park being a museum/recording studio/performing arts center/performing arts school. But I guess that's just my personal vision of what PP should be... Somehow, I feel that it's what Prince envisioned...


Think you're vision for PP is what Prince wanted it to be too...hope it happens

The estate can do what the David Bowie estate did-have a wonderful exhibit touring the world. DB really knew how to do it...




You're right. They could do that. And a touring exhibit would be lovely.



But what if that's not what P left explicit instructions on how he wanted things done?



I don't know and I don't have any secret inside information of any kind, but still...If what the estate is currently doing and planning to do in the future is because they are following explicit instructions from P about how he wanted them to proceed with the preservation and furtherance of his legacy...If that is the case...Knowing that, if that is the case, shouldn't they continue to follow his wishes regardless?



I'm just asking for claryficattion of your opinion out of curiosity. I'm not judging the value of your opinion.



I don't think Prince left his estate and legacy as well-arranged, obviously, as David Bowie. Bowie actually saw the touring exhibit with his famiy before he passed away from cancer. I didn't see it in person, but I did on video and it is wonderful. I just think that the estate would do justice to Prince's legacy by following that example. That is only my opinion, of course.


-- Many people including Brown Mark, Apples, and Kim Berry are saying the exhibits were up already up in Paisley Park the museum was what he wanted. I cannot figure out why no one wants to every listen or believe what these people have to say. In addtion, Graceland people have said they have plans to do something with the studios.

Would think he'd want people recording there too

The people running PP said Prince had left a lot of instructions on what he wanted. I can't imagine his instructions were to turn PP into a music school and Bremar says OK let's bring in Graceland and turn it into a museum instead. I'm sure it will evolve over time. The museum was the quickest way to get money flowing in, money that will be needed to keep PP from closing its doors.
Paisley Park is in your heart

Prince loved to teach music. I think it would be a great homage to Prince to have a School of the Arts in his name, if they haven't already.

Right away, this reminded me of when Beebe Gallini asked Mike Brady to design for her a powderpuff-shaped cosmetics factory. The designs for Prince's home are so cool. Sad it never came to be.
