>> Prince's Paisley payday <<
Money Don't Matter 2 Night

Prince was inducted into the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame this week and publicly renounced
his sexually explicit past. It looks like he's
about to say goodbye to his iconic studios
Paisley Park soon as well.

Sony and Time Warner are making multi-million
dollar bids for the huge complex to turn it into
an "American Music Hub" which they think can
cut their recording budgets considerably, not
to mention turning Paisley Park into a
modern day Graceland-style tourist attraction.

Don't know how true this is. PB tends to be heavy on pure 'gossip'

All his vault material is rumoured 2 B sold 2 with the Master Tapes 2 Universal !
And Prince 2 is rumoured 2 change his sex & becoming a Female!
