- Plus drawings, wrote non stop ideas in notebooks, watched his recorded live performances to improve or adjust things, washed girlfriends hair(s), took a bath with most of them, listened to other music, watched (old and new) movies (regularly rented a theater), did his own make-up, played basketball (with band members and invited guests), played ping-pong (idem dito), went to clubs (hang around and dancing), read bibles and probably some books, took classes, baked omelettes, moved around in his howtown, did videos and movies (for himself and protégées) we'll never see, watched tv, probably also did some family things we don't know of, went from door to door (one time), prayed?... send notes, cards, and presents to others, bought houses for others, donated money for good causes, loved driving his many cars to listen to his own music together <ith others sometimes, had his hair done daily... etc. Did he do friends stuff like we do? I wonder, did he even had time to masturbate? Did he walked Mayte's dog? He never rode a horse (except in 1978). So, he must've had at least two dozen people working for him 24/7; personal assitent(s) 24/7, lawyers, advisors, bankers, consultants, clothing makers, people that packed his bags, chefs, etc. He recorded faster than anyone in history as we all know. We know he slept only a few hours, barely ate. Had a sweet tooth (sugar rush) to keep going? (Maybe) all this took revenge on his body and life... He for sure led a life for three or four at light speed.

Due to his lyriucs, yes, sometimes.Gooddoctor23 said: If u break down 24 hours, how in the hell did Prince juggle, multiple women, recording, writing, rehearsal, associated groups, traveling, designing, touring, eating, friends, associates, business, sleeping, the media, and after shows? I sincerly want 2 know. If you're willing to sacrifice your personal life as well as any relaxation time, it's easily done. Firstly, he wouldn't have been doing all those things in the same day, every day. And some of those things could be done two at a time. Like, working in the studio and eating, for example. Maybe he had whatever kibble he ate brought in while he was working on his next hit? I also think his "multiple women" was heavily exaggerated. That's part of the persona. Not necessarily reality. Of course, he had a few girlfriends over the years, a couple of wives. But I don't think there was ever a period in his life where he was juggling multiple women at any one time. There is no question that he liked to keep himself busy and he did more with his time than most people but I don't see it as being impossible to do. Especially when you're really rich and can afford to pay people to carry out a lot of the other tasks for you. So yeah, impressive. But not impossible. | |

Yes, I imagine it was an impressive life experience, and he seemed to burn through it like a hot knife through butter. He knew what he wanted to do, had no shortage of ideas to work with and kept himself very busy with keeping all of that going, however all of that shook out--a truly inspired individual. > And like he said in his own "Lion of Judah" song lyric, he probably went on "beyond his expiration date" as sad as that seems to some of us!
