There's no "reading more into it"...it's Owen's words, not Pepe or anyone else's. Read the link and or excerpts from the interview I've posted. Not that I WANT it to sound that way...Owen was even calling Prince "she"...there's not other way to look at his words

Where is this interview? Also please take a look at pictures of Owen back in the 70s. Just Goggle him and realize this might have been wishful thinking on Owen's part.

Not being able to say I'm scared or afraid to Anyone is just wholly gut wrenching to me. It is hard cause he culled us all Together and we are all grieving from our different points of view. His pride Our grief both just as loud, wanting essentially the same thing. For him to be ok.

.

If only he allowed someone to take care of him; to nurture him; to tell him "It's okay to rest and take care of yourself." "It's okay to take time out for yourself; just be human."

I think Prince did not know how to stop working. It was work, 24/7. He would make jokes about people who went on vacation. He did not believe in it. He had beautiful homes around the world, but did he ever stop and take the time to really enjoy it?

nope, seems close to never. sad that he didn't really relax. or sleep or eat. i thought he would

break in two during his slave period, sooooo skinny.

Sigh. Another thread that needs to be done away with because people are creating their own crazy narratives and trying to convince others they are true! Mods... Focus on the music. That's what Prince would want us to do.

For the life of me, I can't figure out why people want threads shut down or locked? If it goes off topic...SO WHAT? It will get back on topic. If you don't like what is being said, then for goodness sake, don't visit that thread.

Everyone is so ready to take another ones Freedom of Speech. Just leave us alone.

Exactly. If Trump is allowed to say whatever the hell he wants, then why can't we?

No one is trying to be unkind (yes, this thread went off the rails for a minute or two, I admit). My belief is everyone here is of different age, are from different areas of the world, draw on different experiences and are still honestly trying to understand how Prince was lost to us. I think that although this thread had a few differing opinions on the whole most people have been respectful to each other.

.

There is no sense closing this thread, in the absence of real information people will speculate and discussion will take place. If this thread is closed there will be another thread, short of closing the org, people well start discussion threads. People need to ‘talk’ with each other.

.

Be happy there is still so much love pouring out for Prince. Prince was such a larger than life character in everything he did, it will never be ONLY about the music. IMHO

.

If you find it not for you, don't click on it or participate in the disucssions.

.

Respect and Peace.

DD55...thanks for the great and much needed reminder that we're all coming from different places, different decades, different ways of relating to Prince music, black/white, straight/gay...xoxo

This thread began on May 21, so it will most likely self-lock in less than 2 hours. When there are unanswered questions, a person will fill in the blanks in a way that makes sense to him or her. The human mind has a need for there to be coherence, for information to make sense. My hope is that, with time, we will learn more of the truth about what caused Prince's death and what role his dependency on painkillers/opiods played in his death.
