Yes, there were 2 return calls from Hazelden, I think on Meron's phone. Just posted about it too, bottom of last page. [Edited 4/28/18 8:12am] "if you can't clap on the one, then don't clap at all" | |

In previous parts to there have been comments pertaining to Prizefight who correctly pinpointed the reasons why Prince died as he did. Various members did not seem to accept Prizefight's posts.
I think the same lack of acceptance took place when HLN ran the How It Really Happened episode on Prince.
I went back and reviewed old posts on the HLN show: Prince: The End February 10, 2017. This show also was correct in various statements made by participants in this show. As examples, Andre Cymone stating Prince sustained injuries and had to take drugs; the investigative reporter Ian Halperin indicating "how did this happen, it was enablers who were greedy.."

What I don´t get is how he could still beat people in pingpong and even basketball when he was in so much pain. I understand that those painkillers decreased his pain somewhat, but you´d still have to be very fast and agile to be able to do that, and your hips and hands and arms wouldn´t function properly, painkillers or no painkillers. And you´d have to practice regularly in order to be able to play pingpong that well, or basketball, or guitar, or whatever. If his body was so broken and so much in pain, how did he manage to stay somewhat in shape and as athletic and agile as he was? I mean, I DID notice him being slower than usual at the last concert I saw him but I attributed that to the hip surgery rumors. And besides, he´d still play pingpong with various people after the last time I saw him in concert. I just don´t get that part at all. - -
The painkiller use or abuse is one thing, but on the other hand I see a man who deeply cared about his health and used tons of supplements such as ginseng, tribulus terrestris, vitamin D, copper, vitamin C and all kinds of supplements and natural remedies. It´s sad that his healthy image gets tarnished and he´s being reduced to some sort of drug addict. . I can´t find prizefight´s posts.....but I´ve already read about him here on the org. Could you please let me know where I can find his posts? You said previous parts....are you referring to previous parts of this very thread? " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs! I´m always funny dude...I´m hilarious! Are we gonna smoke?" | |

But he was also full of light and generosity. It was sometimes given to the wrong people. We are all nuanced individuals and he was great and terrible. Don't discount the good stuff but don't overlook what reality was. He was also an addict. Due to pain but still an addict."

Who's had a chance to listen to Theo's interview? . He had a lot of interesting things to say. He said Kirk was at his wits end a lot of times, and would ask Theo if he's ready to come back. . Theo said that when Prince went to Turks & Caico's, he got a new laptop computer, and Kirk asked Theo for the password (peterbravestrong). So, Kirky had access to Prince's laptop info. . Another thing Theo said (and we said here too), was that it was not like Prince at all to be up early in the morning (8AM), so the fact that Dr. Shulenberg and Andrew were coming that morning, was very unusual. . Theo also said that when traveling, Prince usually packed his own bag; he didn't want anyone going in his bags. . He talked a bit about when Prince was getting his master's back and then he went back to WB to produce his last album, which he found to be very odd, since Prince worked so hard to break away from WB. This did not make any sense. . Theo said that Prince was originally going to produce his album with L.A. Reid, but WB had a better deal. It almost seems as though Phaedra and Van Jones were working together in all of this. . WB owns CNN. Van Jones works for CNN. Theo said he wonders if Phaedra is being paid by WB?

ya, that's what i've been saying, i've had alcoholics in my family, it's exhausting dealing with it, my sister would tell me "it's my fuckin' life" but when she had nowhere to go she always brought the chaos to me. It was the most draining thing i've ever been through. Prince however, was at least at one time aware of the dangers and he was a very intelligent guy, maybe he figured he would just go as far as he could maybe it was true, just maybe, he had done everything he came to do. | |

After my husband had back surgery and was on pain killers, he was able to do things physically that he shouldn't have been doing and wouldn't have been able to do without the meds. The meds took away the pain enough so that he felt "okay" but also because he was high on them so it really didn't bother him even if he did feel the pain. Being on pain meds actually hurt his healing rather than helping because he was able to do things that he shouldn't have been doing per doctors orders so he could heal properly. I'm not a human

Mariah Brown in her interview also says how she thought it was odd that Prince chose WB over LA Reid, and that it was Phaedra who was pushing him towards WB. Who knows? Maybe Phaedra had some kind of private deal with WB? Or maybe WB was just a better deal for Prince, and - now that he'd 'won' in his decades long battle with WB, he thought it would be magnanimous to do a new album with them, or he was doing it for old times sake, or something...

If you're going to accuse people of murder, do your research first so we who DO aren't rolling our eyes atyou. Again. CNN is owned by Time Warner. . Warner Brothers Music is owned by Access and is a completely separate company from Time Warner. . You're welcome. . [Edited 4/28/18 11:43am] Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me. | |

I can't remember who the post was by but I remember, I think after he had just passed I was looking at a post that reviewed a PP show he did in 2009. In fact my sister and I attended that show and it was the last time I saw Prince in concert. It would have been October 23 or 2r or around there. I remember this because it was right around my birthday on October 21st . Anyway the reason I bring it up is because I remember a post by someone saying during Purple Rain at the end of the night Prince cried out God is alive or God is real!!! Or something . I remember him saying it. this poster said it really freaked him out. Something in how desperate Prince sounded REALLY unnerved this person. In retrospect I do think some people were trying to warn us or trying to intervene or trying in some way to bring attention to Prince's situation. It struck me how this person recognized a Panic in Prince's voice that I didn't detect. Looking back I'm imagining they probably knew more about was going on and wanted to sound the alarm bells. | |

I did listen to Theo's interview and what stood out the most to me was his comments on Phaedra being asked by Prince about amounts of money: $1,000,000. Theo's comments suggest that there may be some inconsistencies about money.
I didn't find this surprising. When you have a money manager handling your funds, there is a definite need to have audit practices in place. It didn't sound like this was being done. | |

Wow! Thanks so much for posting all that leec1. All of that was incredibly telling. I believe all of that was the truth. | |

Wow, that is indeed interesting. I wasn´t really aware of prizefight´s posts. I wonder what the terrible things were that Prince did. And I´m curious about the song The Breakdown and its story. Prince repeatedly stressed how much that song meant to him. At first I thought it was just a breakup song but it looks like there was more to it.
edit; What does riding a bicycle have to do with him being paranoid? I don´t understand. I mean, there are pictures of him riding a bicycle during the Purple Rain tour. But I agree that he often came across as a paranoid person sometimes, especially when he talked about chemtrails or when he would ramble about linguistic nonsense.

. I haven't listened to Mariah's interview yet, but I will. Yes, it is very strange indeed that Prince signed with WB again. Prince's integrity was very important to him, so this strikes me as odd. . The way Theo was explaining things, it sounds like Phaedra has some connections to WB, and maybe they offered her something extra out of the deal?

In the Rolling Stone interview from 2014 - which was published after his death - the reporter said that some "twenty-something" girls were handling his business affairs IIRC, with the inference being his affairs were in total chaos. So by 2014 he was already in the tank business-wise ... at least in my opinion and that of the reporter as well. *one of those interviews he said he’d been celibate for 7 years, then that part removed? | |
