Prince Was One of the Loneliest Souls I’ve Ever Met

I pray to God Prince was dead by the time he hit the floor.

I pray Prince wasn’t cognizant, even for a mite of a moment, that he was dying alone in a nondescript elevator, in a Wonder Bread suburb of the racially-fractured city that was one day too late in telling him his hometown—blacks, whites, the whole Crayola box of colors and ethnicities—loved Prince as much as he loved Minneapolis.

Because there’s one thing I’m positive I know about Prince. After knowing him in forever-alternating cycles of greater, lesser, and sometimes not-at-all friendship over the final 31 years of his life, until our final peculiar phone conversation three weeks before he died: His greatest—and perhaps only—fear was dying alone.

The rest is here -

Everyone has one or more guardian angels around them. Prince had his guardian angels around him, his spirit guides, orishas, etc. In addition to his parents, siblings, ancestors!

His brother who passed away several years before, I think his name was Duane? He was also around Prince and of course he will be around Prince's family always!

The more quotes I read the more I am horrified. Sorry BUT you just can't trust a journalist with an axe to grind....as per his awful quote just before P passed.

Friend? .....Fuck him!
