I'm leery of anyone who tries to monetize something that should be sacred. However, I did enjoy the stories they provided. I feel like there's a lot of sitting through long former-associates interviews and finding out hardly anything new since Prince passed. I actually learned some new info with this one, and I thought they shed some light on who he was before he passed.

I thought they were corny then, and find them to be even more corny now. These 2 and the bizarre influence they had on P never sat well with me. Was also very distasteful of her to talk about her salary. These 2 also strike me as the overbearing kool-aid drinking types that bbq tofu burgers with Kirk Cameron and his people every Saturday in the summer (Never on Sundays, though. Can't miss being with the congregation and having the prestegious honor of being ushers in charge of passing those collection baskets from aisle to aisle).

She's a great drummer, no doubt. Ideal for 3EG and the heavier rock sound Prince was aiming for with them. However, she didnt have a funky bone in her body and her intricate, heavy-handed and lead-footed style really made those expanded NPG lineups sound stiff as a board. She sounded totally out of her element, and it was clear as day.

Josh? Well, besides being an absolutely batshit crazy choice as the remastering engineer for PR, did he do anything else of substance in contributing? Fuck that guy and the horse he rode in on.

The Obama jacket was cool, but we need to hear more stories and insight into that historic concert experience...maybe the Documentary.

Obama and cool in once sentence.

When a `president` has so much war to do, cannot show his actual birth papers, kills his own people without due trial, then what has that nation become?

Clinton was cool because he did womething in music, but he was also a sexual predator.

.

The PR thing is way more important because they destroyed the most well known record of that man.

Obama did show his birth certificate; it's amazingly like the one my niece (born in Hawaii) has.

I find you and your judgement of them just as corny. Prince was a grown man, who lived his life how he pleased, and if he chose these people as his friends or someone that he wanted in his life, that's no one's business but his! What gives you the right to say what kind of influence they had on him...something you know nothing about, unless you were a part of it! People can live their lives however they want to, because IT'S THEIR LIFE, NOT YOURS! What they do with their lives, and how they live it, is none of your business! Judge not, lest you be judged.....truth and fact!

I don't think they meant "prophet" as in Nostradamus per say, more that he was very in-tuned and spiritually enlightened which I would 100% agree with.

They mention receiving prophecies a number of times in relation to predicting future events in their lives, including the house he bought them, so it's clear they do think prophets can communite with the lord or have visions of what will happen to people or what their calling is to do.

Prince already owned the home on Red Fox AND it wasn't given to them.
2179 Red Fox is one of the properties owned by the estate and one of the first listed to be sold.

Found the birther, ya'll.

Yup. Due to something else that happened recently, I blocked him on Facebook.

That Josh seems way aggressive-not in a good way.

Hannah seems like a true sweetheart, artist and mother. Prince was drawn to Hannah first , well then ---Josh.....hmmmm. Take a seat Josh. It's your wife with the kindness and talent.

What's your problem with this man Josh? Do you know him personally, had a beef with him in real life, or just plain old jealous of him? Why the hostitlity toward someone you know nothing about personally?

No idea, I'm just going by what they said and it's not really our business if title's under their name, gifted, being sold, wasn't actually given to them, or what. How do those specifics change things?

They credit receiving the house as part of a prophetic fulfillment.

RJOrion said:

but i overstand your coded comment...smh... some things will never change.

I have no idea why you think that's justified, but if "aggressive" isn't the right phrase for primarily Josh but also Hannah, talking about Prince's Bentley, then what is?

They obviously had that kind of relationship with him, but the story does come off to outsiders as forward. Aggressive seems pretty apt.

Very unprofessional stating what they were paid per week to be on the payroll - I know other people that were in the band at that time and did not get paid anywhere near that much. This should not have been mentioned publicly IMHO.

Aggression is overt or covert, often harmful, social interaction with the intention of inflicting damage or other unpleasantness upon another individual. It may occur either reactively or without provocation. In humans, aggression can be caused by various triggers, from frustration due to blocked goals to feeling disrespected.[1] Human aggression can be classified into direct and indirect aggression; whilst the former is characterized by physical or verbal behavior intended to cause harm to someone, the latter is characterized by behavior intended to harm the social relations of an individual or group.[2][3] In definitions commonly used in the social sciences and behavioral sciences, aggression is an action or response by an individual that delivers something unpleasant to another person.[4] Some definitions include that the individual must intend to harm another person. so do tell...how is Josh or Hannah being aggressive? ... or are some people just predisposed to believe in Josh's alleged aggressiveness and Hannah's "true sweetheart" status?... nothing about Joshua Weldon comes off as "aggressive"

"..SNIP -OF4$ dude the race baiting

Just stop.

One definition of aggression is:

"forceful and sometimes overly assertive pursuit of one's aims and interests"

How doesn't that apply because a multiracial couple is involved?

no YOU stop...you should know that there are certain terms and code words historically and currently used by the "dominant" culture, when discussing black men... words like "Thug", "aggressive", "militant",.. so your attempt to bend the true meaning of the word, and post some abstract alternative meaning, is a wasted effort...nice try though.

Sure, there are code words and racism, but that's not on display here...and you're interjecting that struggle in here is no different than people interjecting their anti-religion feelings.

I'm not bending "the true meaning" of the word, I cut through the projection of racialist minutia with the challenge that you can't say there isn't a meaning of the word that doesn't fit what they described with the Bentley story.

He said to his wealthy celebrity boss "that's going to be mine". Who does that? How can you imply that's a racial trait to act like that, and criticism is based on his race? It's not. Neither was their internalized thoughts that he's the type who could have just handed them the keys permanently.

look here...dont even address me further...i really think youre trying to get the thread locked..i didnt "interject" any so-called struggle..i presented hardcore facts and real behaviors that are on display in this very thread...but you felt the need to address me when i didnt seek your response...then when i reply with facts and reality, you belittle it as "racialist minutia" and compare it erroneously to "anti-religion feelings"...for your sake (and the sake of the thread) give it up, because a few of you are showing your horns.

This tangent is off topic and should be deleted along with all the other baiting.
