The 'tragedy' part of the 'Greek Tragedy-Chanhassen-style' is that the Hero always carries within him the seeds of his own destruction. The Hero is well protected from external attack but is commonly destroyed by himself.
In this case and IMO Hubris was the culprit.In Greek tragedy, hubris is "excessive pride toward or defiance of the gods"
Not defiance of God per se ...but the gods who tell you what and who you can become or not become or that skinny, black 5'2" guys are not by definition sex symbols, or that real men don't wear makeup or heels or no you can't release an album whenever you want, etc, ad infinitum.
He prevailed over all the nay sayers...but he was still his own worst enemy. | |

The report notes emails sent in the very-early-morning hours to Prince that went unresponded to (I can't remember all the exact times). Of course, just because he didn't respond doesn't mean he was already gone, but it is one distinct possibility (esp considering Prince's typical night-owl ways)

In #36 it statesthar Prince was wearing a" cut long sleeve black shirt and a gry shirt with the sleeves cut off under".I understand someone stated previously that the black shirt was cut to aid in revival efforts , but it does seem strange that the unfer shirt had the sleeves cut off .If Princes arms were already stiffand Kirk wanted to dress him , then cuttng the sleeves would be the easiest way to do it ..on the other hand ,why put 2 shirts on ...ok I am thinking while I type | |

We know the last time Prince sent an email from his account was at 10:03PM on 4/20 to Phaedra. A friend sent an email at 4:26AM with the subject line "Talk?" but got no response.

How about the fact that 70% (in the month before his death) of incoming/outgoing calls to PP were from/to Natlaya Philips (the little girl from Milion Days video-maybe 21 years old now. Police call her and she will not speak to the about it. The police just accept that. I'm not an investigator, but I would think that would be an important person to speak with. | |

I don't know, i still can't understand it. we're still getting a lot of contradictory info. The idea of a "fatal flaw" i don't know about either, Prince had lots of flaws as all men do, I don't know if they caused this. and we all know he's hardly an anamoly, something about the rockstar lifestyle just isn't spiritually healthy, i've said it since MJ died. From what i'm seeing, prince didn't really want to be here anymore, it looks like he didn't try very hard to avoid a second od and talked like he was ready to move on. even if that was true, there are still a myriad of questions about why he would feel that way, where he got what amounts to kill pills, was he already deathly ill with something terminal as many of us have posited? Overall, I guess the cops did what they could, they made a few mistakes, big ones, but 214 pages is a lot of work, more than you or i'd get if we keeled over. this will probably be the best info we get until the autopsy results are opened in the next century. | |

Can anyone post the phone records to/ from PP? I can't access the files and I have seen various references here to several calls Until the end of time | |

Welcome to "the org", Mumio…they can have you, but I'll have your love in the end | |

he seems to have said those types of things to the medical folk but he said different things to JH and Kirk, the bizarre thing he said to kirk, "you'll still do the shows if I'm not here" are just senseless. what show without the one man on the bill? wierd, but maybe prince was that out of it. | |

hard to say, guy was coddled since he was 18 basically. all things being relative though, compared to some he'd be streetwise and to others he wouldn't be. However, his general wariness would make me doubt he did a lot of the actual running around in the streets scoring pills. | |

he should have never looked here, like i said, it's a cesspool, then and now but especiially then. He must have had some morbid compulsion to see what people were saying. I could never see Springsteen giving a shit what all his loser fans think of him and i'm sure it would be about as negative on any site devoted to him. I'm saying it's kinda strange for him to be fixated with this place, one thing i learned for myself in life is just how easy it is to avoid negative things and people, it's really easy so I don't get why he didn't make it easy by not ever looking at this place.

Some here may have "posited" he was deathly ill but there's not a lick of information in this report that supports that. There's no record of doctors visits (or even a regular doctor) other than the few Dr S visits, no prescribed medications other than the Dr S stuff, nothing. And this deathy illness apparently whizzed right by the doctors in Moline and Dr S, who made no mention of it (and of course Prince apparently didn't mention this supposed terminal illness to Dr S either, even though Prince was voluntarily visiting him to get relief from his various complaints, and that might be pertinent info. Prince did disclose his hip surgery and even his wisdom-teeth removal to him).

from where? i'm sure people know things and will talk but you know, i'm kinda surprised with how long it's taking people to come out with stories about MJ so i guess we'll wait. Elvis was different, everyone said everything about the man, much of it resulting in things that hurt his image but it's kinda ironic, in this era of the internet, news everywhere, back then, people were telling a helluva lot more about a major star of the time. I still hope the jody chandlers and all these kids come out someday and say they were either full of shit or not but it seems to be taking a long time. Well, we ain't got to worry about that kind of wierdness with Prince, compared to Elvis and Mj prince was conservative and humble. | |

I think it's incredibly easy for big rock stars to get whatever drugs they want. Drugs are awash in that industry, and for the super-famous and -rich contingent? it's not a problem.

ya, but i thought we were talking about how much of the procuring PRN did himself, i just have a hard time picturing that. more than likely he'd have other folks doing it. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
If you listen to all the Phone Interviews the general consensus is that SOme one got those pills for him. His assistants, His other Body Guard, his ex managers, they all report that Prince never did anything for himself He would always ask someone to get this or get that From ordering Clothes online to getting drug store items.. | |

that' sounds about right, i'm just trying not to be too presumptuous. also, i've thought many times, as bad as the guys around elvis were, and they seemed to really do some slick shit, as bad as they were, not even they supported elvis destroying himself. these folks around Prince i don't really get. I mean, I get that a lot of managers might not interfere with a clients personal business but it sounds to me that Prince didn't do things like Elvis and the colonel(the colonel did most of the business dealings on the phone or in his office and never hung out with Elvis), his people were right there a lot of the time and made to work. I'm also surprised that these names, Meron, Phaedra weren't really out here that much if at all the last two years being as they were such an integral part of his last days. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Meron was with him for the last two years attending to his every personal wish Phaedra was around since 2013 and has been managing his money for the last two years She is not very popular BTW

There is so much discussion about how shady the people who worked for Prince were. When you are forgetting how private this man was. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
i've heard phaedra's name but i don't think i heard of meron, then again, our man had such a revolving door, it's hard to remember all the names. and no, i don't think much of anyone who allowed someone to hurt themselves, but I can say, that i have a life that would attest to me not fucking around and tolerating drugs or alcohol, i don't compromise on that with the people i'm around and i do not accept any drugs or any alchohol from all the morons who try to push it on me in the name of being friendly. so, therefore, i can tell you, i would not tolerate prince hurting himself and help him do it. I'd be gone, or i'd kidnap him, blow the whistle, whatever, but then i'm pretty extreme with shit as you may be able to see. | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
Obviously the Recovery without Walls brochures were found lying around but I cant understand how come during all the investigtions and the Questioning Neither Kirk nor Meron were asked
I mean they asked 10,000 times whether Prince had a cell Phone !!!!

Agree. From the beginning I've been saying some associates were too quick to make money off his death, imo. T-shirts and tribute songs and books and concerts. It did not make sense then and it certainly does not make sense now. Especially after reading the report and realizing how people around him mistrusted eachother, the inconsistencies, etc.
And upon reading the report, altough some maintained they did not know about Prince's painkiller addiction, there are many that admitted they knew, as is the case with Crystal Zehetner, a former business affairs manager (2010-2015), who even said Prince asked some people where to get pain pills and she advised them not to get involved. She also stated that Prince was in a lot of pain during the Australian tour. (report page 178, numbers 321, 324). She stated everyone knew, so yes, it was an open secret, which makes me think that all those who interacted with him on a daily basis must have known, even though they told the Police they did not. They might have not been aware of the recent extent of his addiction, which i also find odd cause all you had to do was look at how debilitated he seemed, but whatever. This is my opinion.
