Prince was far from poor, but I don't think he could have afforded such expenses. The wooh is on the one! | |

And yet, he had a chiropractor on call who would come to PP, he'd have his people set up appointments with doctors all the time while on tour, and would even fly a doctor in from Minneapolis to wherever he was on tour. And a doctor did prescribe him pain pills 2 weeks after seeing him for the first time (not having done any blood work) and even illegally put the script in someone else's name. P was not a moron...He did what he did for a reason. Nobody "likes" going to the doctor, he didn't go because he felt he could handle this stuff on his own. Not having time is just an excuse. | |

I would like to make a request. It would save so much time and energy if everyone read the investigative reports. They are online and though lengthy, can be absorbed fairly quickly. We can then be up-to-date on what the facts are. It is so frustrating discussing some of these issues with those that have clearly not read the reports. I find that some just jump into this thread and start arguing without enough background. I was exhausted after yesterday as I am sure Penny is. Please! | |

Agreed. The problem arises because, with all due respect, many of these posters only joined prince.org after Prince's death and were only very casual fans prior to that, if at all. They simply lack awareness of his character and history. For example, nobody who actually saw Prince live at a venue (not recordings or TV appearances on YouTube) and then performing non-obligatory extended aftershows would give any credence to the allegation that Prince suffered from 'stage fright'. Someone simply doesn't play unnecessarily for hours at 2am to small crowds in nightclubs (and often with a very reasonable cover price) if they're anxious about performing. It's not as if cash was a major influence either - in London in 2014 he played several small clubs for just £10. I was fortunate enough to have been at two of those (including the Shepherd's Bush show) and it's likely he barely broke even in terms of costs. And that's not even considering the number of times he opened his home for shows at short notice, when he had nothing to promote whatsoever. Really, that's where the problem arises? I must have missed the memo that said if you are a fan of P, you must join prince.org, or you're just a casual fan at best. Prince fan-snobbery...I love it. If you believe the whole of P fans are on this site, then you believe his fan base is quite small. To your second point, he was able to do all that because he was probably on drugs!!! | |

No, the problem arises when old posters get pissed because new posters post what they don't like. If you don't like what a poster writes, you look at their join date and then 1. Accuse them of not being a hardcore fan. 2. Accuse them of having double accounts.
And you can knock off the snark and quit acting butthurt over every comment that doesn’t agree with your Price Was Pathetic agenda. There might actually be a decent discussion here if you learn how to be a PART of the discussion and quit pretending all comments must pass your arrogant stance. Just be quiet sometimes you might learn something. Ha, if that ain't the pot calling the kettle black! | |

When did Penny say that Prince was pathetic? So you're done with Cat and now you claim Penny has an agenda? Looks like YOU have a problem with people's opinions, inputs, whatever and if they don't fit your narrative about Prince, or Mayte or whoever, people have to have an agenda against these people. | |

Yes, people have def joined this thread late in the game to start drama. They didn't like what Cat had to say, so they chased her off, and Cat knew him personally. They are trying to do the same with me. Even though I've been very vocal on this thread since part 1 and have tried to answer peoples questions by referring to the documents, even going as far as giving the zip file, page number, item number so they can see for themselves. Doing the research FOR them.

I love it...a homework assignment...that'll keep him busy for a while. Heck, why not go back and read this thread starting from part one? There will be a test. | |

I agree. I was wondering where all these uninformed posters were coming from yesterday. It is really obvious most are in the dark re: the files, which are facts. I have to say, Penny, you have spent hours of your own time keeping this thread together. It is a labor of love. There are many who support you and I am sure it is exhausting.
If these fans are so interested in Prince, why can't they be bothered to do the work of reading the files and previous threads??

Most people who were fans but not on the org wouldn't have jumped on it after he died to keep pushing a lie. Weirdos would but not a real fan. If you not lying just to lie then back your reasons up with sources that makes sense instead of going all ballistic and throwing a tantrum or throwing in how sad you are. That used to be an unspoken rule in these parts. Now it's just "I have the right to say what I want" which is the biggest cop out ever.

No one should let a chase them off, and I hope Cat comes back. His homework assignment should keep him busy, and when he's done, if he still can't play nice, we may have to resort to drastic measures. | |

Only the mods can throw someone off here. It's literally impossible to run someone off. But someone who wants center stage by telling lies who starts feeling pressured to prove what's coming out of their mouth might run off. A those who want to hear the lies have the big wide cyberspace to gather and exchange all the lies they want. But to expect those who have zero interest in somebody's lying self esteem, speaks fake as heck. Nobody owes you room to lie. Time keeps on slipping into the future...

What exactly is being “investigated” here? Is it: was it murder, suicide, or accidental overdose? Talking about “I don’t understand this or I don’t understand that” is not an investigation, but I guess it can be a form of therapy if you get enough people to state they also wonder these things. Maybe they would let you have a thread where feelings can be discussed because the official files can’t be disputed or changed. | |
