Peace HF,
Not screaming on you. The DAILY MAIL gave a super misleading title. They making my man seem like Nero, Caligulia or Marquee De Sade, Wesley Pipes or Ron Jeremy.
These mutha fuckas are something else.

New Developments: Prince Received Out-Patient Treatment, Bank Trustee Drills Prince's Vault Open

Multiple sources close to the death investigation of Prince told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS that the musician entered an out-patient treatment program.
Sources said Prince was seeing a doctor to help him deal with his chronic hip pain and that part of the out-patient treatment included efforts, by Prince, to move away from using medication prescribed to treat his severe pain. They did not say Prince’s treatment program automatically means he was addicted to controlled substances.
Sources said many people seek out-patient therapy to make sure they do not become addicted to prescribed painkillers and other types of medication and others will seek help when they think they might have symptoms indicating they are starting to become dependent on the drugs and are seeking counseling to help them slowly move away from the medications.
Law enforcement sources said only the Medical Examiner would be able to determine if Prince’s autopsy showed any signs of a person who had been habitually abusing any form of prescribed medications.
Meanwhile, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS has also been told Bremer Bank, recently appointed trustee of Prince’s estate, hired a St. Paul company to drill through Prince’s personal vault at Paisley Park Tuesday. Sources said the bank had to move quickly to get inside the vault because, as court-appointed trustee, Bremer is legally responsible for safeguarding and handling all of Prince’s assets.
The vault is known to store Prince’s invaluable recordings, of which, dozens have not been released. Prince was the only person who knew the combination, which is the reason Bremer Bank had to hire someone to drill through the lock to retrieve and take inventory of its contents.
These new prescription pills had been recovered in the Prince death investigation and ABC News learned, specifically, the drugs were found in Prince’s possession at Paisley Park, which supports a Tuesday night story reported first by 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS.
Sources told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the summary of Prince’s autopsy are expected “any day” and the search warrant, and its inventory list, are expected to be made public Friday unless a judge orders the warrant sealed

Prince's old band reforming..wont be the same unless they get D'angelo IMO
I cannot remember this much outpouring of love and respect for a performer who passed away. I don't think even MJ got this much love when he passed away.
I wouldn't say it was more or less but definitely a different type of respect or reverence. Michael's influence was much more pop and mainstream. Prince was a different type of individual with a totally different type of influence. IMO not necessarily bigger but definitely a deeper more artistic effect or influence. He was a huge iconic superstar yes but garnered much more artistic respect even from people from multiple different types of genres.
Just a different feel with Prince. Not as much pop commercialism IMO. Can't think of another artist in any genre with that type of effect. Unique individual. Michael? The Beatles? Maybe in his league or even bigger but definitely not the same IMO.
That there says it all. Respect.
Thanks, appreciate it.
This was cool as hell...even though he was struggling to pull it off.
This is excellent analysis.
I really don't have to compare the two to appreciate them.
I can watch Thriller and Smooth Criminal a thousand times and be mesmerised.
When I go in the car, I want Erotic City, Black Sweat, I hate U , Anna Stesia ,etc.
Peace Gonbad,
A lot of these tributes are sometimes bad renditions of the original PRINCE song. I equate it to you having everyday people, casual friendship and people who admire you and what you do.
It is almost a given the everyday people are going to pay their respects. Some of the casuals will probably stop by and say kind words. But sometimes the admirer with no direct connection goes out of their way to show respect.
I appreciate the gestures and efforts of them all.

I found the Gilmour tribute to be one of the better ones. Even Santana struggled, named the wrong song. D;angelo didn't see the point of having the other two white chicks, and Prince was always about the music so yes there is a difference in celebration as compared to MJ, Rick James, James Brown, etc. TMZ and others are out to make Prince not about the music, and turn it into a circus show, but dudes influence and relationships with the common man are too powerful. From the stories about his cooks, to him just riding a bike in his town. That city will protect its Prince. No one will talk, as they have not for decades. Prince put his money where his mouth was, and never got too big for his hometown, and was in contact with many of his fans in town. Prince was always about the music. Again, I will not be surprised if any and all results are sealed in regards to Prince.
Well said and the fact Prince was so secretive, a mystery, a pimp adds to all of this...
Nah, MJ's death literally shut down the internet. It was like nothing ever seen before... like a Kennedy got shot or something. We live so much in the 'now' that it might be hard to recall the seismic quake that was his death at the time, but this out-pour for Prince definitely rivals that. No other aftermaths come close to what we're witnessing with MJ and Prince, not even Elvis Presley got worldwide Love like this when he died. Hell, hardly anyone is even talking about Bowie anymore, now that Prince is gone. It would take Beyonce getting merked right now to top this.
Apologies if these were posted already:

- meagangood Pezzy .. Lol I know you didn't really like that name.. but you let me call you it anyway. We were friends for a while before I had the courage to tell you how HUGE of a fan I was of yours.. Lol smh, You had the nerve to be shocked.. Your humility was astonishing ..your jokes were silly.. genuinely, like a child's.. your spirit was captivating .. I can't really put into words your confidence, your awareness of self.. it was a inspiration to me ..and your love for God - so deep and beyond anything that anyone who didn't know you could know.. I'll never forget the first time we met lol, I was totally caught off guard and played it so cool.. but when I got back to my car, I called my Mother!!! I was screaming so loud with excitement, that she couldn't even make out what I was saying.. Through my tears I say: Thank you .. Thank you for the memories of crazy randomness .. Thank you for always being the one that wanted to make sure that everyone was happy and smiling.. More importantly, thank you for the lessons you shared with me.. and thank you for the love my friend.. I know that you know that you are loved sooo much by so many.. but I also pray you know how much you were valued too. It gives me some peace to know - you were one that left nothing on the table Rest in peace and in paradise.. Love you always P.

Peace FAM,
You see all these females who were his friends or romantically involved with PRINCE. They all talking like my man took them to that next level.
On whatever their relationship was based around. It don't sound like it was just sex either.
Chicks sounding sad, mind blown and moist all at the same time.

I been thinking a lot about this and why it's so different with Prince. To me the big difference is Prince was way more accessible to people (both celebs and regular folk) especially after the record company drama. After Thriller and Bad , Michael was just to big a star and had secluded himself from public life.
The reason why so many people have Prince stories is because he made himself more available to people, either through frequent concerts, private parties at Paisley Park or even regular talk show appearances. Michael didn't come out except for VERY special occasions. Motown 25 and Mike's 30th Anniversary special where very memorable with Mike, but they came like 20 years apart and there weren't that many albums in between.
I also think his conversion to Jehovah Witness humbled Prince somewhat. MJ was raised JW, but I don't think he took it serious as an adult. Can you imagine Michael showing up at someone's door with some pamphlets LOL. Hell No!
Musically, Prince was at another level. You can only be dazzled so much by big light shows, dance numbers and pyrotechnics that came with a MJ performance. Prince showed us how he could mesmerize folks with just him and a guitar or just him and a Piano. That kind of intimacy between and artist and his performers shouldn't be underestimated. Prince worked with so many other artists (both established and new) and I think that garnered a lot of respect from his musical peers especially one's who made a living playing an instrument.
Finally, I think the last difference between the two was their interaction with Women. Even if you take Mike's fascination with children aside, most woman were not checking for Mike on a sexual tip. Mike probably had a lot of fan attention as a teen up until the "Up against the Wall" era, but after that the physical change to his appearance and odd behaviors probably turned off a lot of his female fanbase as they got older. Mike only interacted with woman who were already super famous.
Prince found women no one ever heard of and made them famous (if only briefly).
Bottom Line: Dudes wanted to be Prince (because of the women or the musical talent or just his coolness) and Women wanted to be with Prince.
Other than the money, I don't think people wanted to be MJ like that
PEACE
- evalongoria He made me laugh...
- tonibraxton Throughout the years, and all of my crises, Prince was always there for me. During my bankruptcy he asked me to go on the road with him. When I made the decision to retire he called me and told me that I had a gift and that I could not stop now. He was like my big brother, always looking out for me. No other artist has meant as much to me as he did. He was always there for me giving me his support. I will miss him so much. He was as special of a friend as he was a brilliant talent. My condolences to his family. Good night, sweet Prince.
- hollyrpeete My 1 room studio flat in Paris junior year abroad 1984 was wall to wall#Prince. This giant movie poster was the French one sheet for Purple Rain ...I was 19 and he was my musical WORLD ... It's hard to imagine that 7 years later I would meet him record a song with him become friends and have some of the best musical experiences in my life with this icon. Thankful for sharing his brilliance but also his sense of humor which not many people got a chance to see. #tb
