Prince's Toronto Home Is On The Market For $12.79 Million. Just Wait Until You See The Closet
...thought you were OUT of the closet!...
So, I finally went out and bought two more of the albums that I never got before. HitNRun Part 1 and ArtOfficialAge. AOA has a beautiful song on it called Way Back Home, which I'm finding to be rather prophetic:
WAY BACK HOME
By Prince
Any person or object whatsoever
That requires your attention
Is something that has veered from its path
And preordained destiny of total enlightenment
I never wanted a typical life
Scripted role, huh a trophy wife
All I ever wanted, to be left alone
See my bed's made up at night
'Cause in my dreams I roam
Just trying to find, trying to find
My way back, back home
So many reasons why
There's so many reasons why
I don't belong here
But now that I am I
Without fear I am
Gonna conquer with no fear
Until I find my way back home
Until I find my way back home
(Find my way back home)
Most people in this world (Most people in this world)are born dead
But I was born alive
(I was born with this dream)
With a dream outside my head (outside my head)
That I could find my way back home
My, my, way way back home
Is this the way? (Is this the way?)
(Power to the ones)
Power to the ones who could raise a child like me
The path was set
But if you look the truth will set us free
I've heard about those happy endings
But it's still a mystery
Lemme tell you about me
I'm happiest when I can see
My way back home
Can you see
My way back, my way back home

And then the album ends with this:
affirmation III
By Prince
[Backing of heartbeat drum sound]
How are u feeling 2day Mr Nelson?
[Heartbeat drum increases in volume in response]
I trust u are having a quick and enjoyable adjustment period
As u can see, we are communicating telepathically
[Strings and echoes from Way Back Home begin]
(Telepathically - Telepathically)
Which makes things move so much faster here
After u have completed the planned affirmation therapy
u will find this way of interaction far easier
Until I find my way back home [echo in background]
You've probably felt many years in you're former life, u were separate from not only only others, but even yourself.
Now u can see that was never the case
U are actually everything and anything that u can think of.
All of it is U
Until I find my way back home [echo x6 with lush string flourishes]
Remember there really is only one destination, and that place is U
All of it, everything is U.
["Way back home" chorus x2]

I find these words quite chilling.

Why would people want to tear that man into two pieces or more?
I'm so sorry I wasn't here for (((you))) when your heart was breaking... you'd been through so much recently when he passed. I just want you to know that I was thinking of you. xox
Thank you, Flakes! I felt your arms around me.
His death has helped others already:
Chaka Khan and sister enter rehab over prescription drugs

Guess the plans to sell the house fell through. This was on morning news. Tickets go on sale today.
Prince Estate: Paisley Park to open for daily paid public tours in fall

I read that his meds were mislabeled.
Paisley Park was one of his homes- he had a private suite upstairs with the rest of the compound used as recording studios, film studios and rehearsal stages. He owned a lot of homes around the world and in Minneapolis. I think he purchased his boyhood home (where he lived until he was seven anyway- of which the number 7 is a significant number in his songs) also. I don't know how they're going to handle the elevator situation for the visitors as it's visible as soon as you walk in the front doors. I think that a lot of people would become visibly upset once they see the elevator. I know I would. I want to go see Paisley Park, but it's going to be sad knowing that he died right there. I just wish I had taken the time and money to go see it when he was alive and giving one of his $20 a head no-frills mini- concerts there. I saw him four times throughout the years and he just kept getting better and better. I refuse to believe the rumor/report fueled by 'Doctor D' (a drug dealer in Minneapolis) who says that he furnished drugs to Prince for years, since the Purple Rain days. I say bullsh*t to that as there are too many folks who say that they never (NEVER!!!) saw Prince do any types of drugs at any time throughout his career. There have never been any reports over the years that he messed up any live performances, stumbled on stage, forgot the words, etc. None whatsoever. Paisley Park will open to the public Oct. 5th, with a massive Prince tribute in Minneapolis to follow on Oct. 13th. I so wish that I could go to them.
