Before prince passed there were a lot of Youtube videos of people wandering up to Paisley Park unannounced. It was always interesting to me to see those videos because of the current state of the buildings, the lack of security, and most importantly I believed the videos were shot during the years he was in residence there. That always bothered me that people just had almost free access to the property like that . But the videos peaked my interest for some strange reason . Now it’s hard to find those videos . Just a random thought . Anyone else remember those ?

i was always shocked at those stories, when you consider how private he started out as, it's a major contradiction in his personality. One story I heard from an associate of mine, the day after he died, someone had said they'd been to Paisley, not really fans but just tourists I guess, they saw how people were treating paisley and when they happened upon prince, sitting outside, all by himself, they yelled "why do you let these people do this to your place" he said "they'd do it anyway" must not have cared.

You should have been here that day when someone innocently posted they rode their bike on PP property when Prince wasn't home. The reaction was both kind of sad and hilariously funny at the same time.
