In the business world, a "golden parachute" is an agreement that has a certain trigger, upon which the executive is paid a bonus.

Some golden parachutes are tied to retirement - if an executive retires early, he/she gets extra compensation.

Some are tied to hostile takeovers of the company - if control or ownership of the company changes, the executives receive bonuses. These types of golden parachutes are usually put in place to dissuade other companies from making hostile takeovers.

Executives who have contracts that pay them big bucks while thier companies go down the shitter.

That contract is a golden parachute.

In relation to Prince,

The Record Label fronts money, the artist does all the work and hiring, but before the artist pays the help, the Label takes back everything they invested. Usually the label is involved in the help, so they get paid there too. The artist is left with crumbs and the labels maintains their levels of cash flows and make some in the process.

Still it's nice to know, when our bodies wear out, we can get another

No shit! Just ask TLC what's up?!? (No disrespect to Lisa)

I can be in a park, or flying in the…in the deep sea
I wish u’d hold my hand; then everything could b
There’s nothing strange, we’re not deranged
