Do you like this idea krf?
I don't know how I feel about it just yet. On one hand I would like to know what it was like being married to him at this time in his life- he was using the glyph as his name and Oprah (when he and Mayte appeared on her show) asked him what Mayte or his mother-in-law calls him when they wanted his attention and Prince replied 'Hey, you!' and smirked. She has been quoted as saying that she could never call Prince on the phone, that she had to wait for him to call her. So, it must have been a rather strange and profound relationship. The album that he recorded and released when he was married to Mayte called 'Emancipation' (his first album after breaking his contract with Warner Bros.) is one of, if not the best, of his recording career. You can hear how happy he is on every song. He even used the heartbeat of his unborn baby Gregory (who sadly dies a week after birth) on one track. I've always been fascinated with His Royal Bad*ss, but I don't want to read it if it's just some crappy sordid tale. I don't think it will be as they loved each other so very much. Mayte is the woman who stands behind Sheila E. at the end of the tribute on BET. That made me so happy to see Sheila and Mayte up there together- one woman Prince asked to marry him and the other woman he did marry. If anyone would know what life was like being married to Prince it would be Mayte.

I heard about that on one of the entertainment news shows today.
Have you heard any more about how his estate will be divided?
It's going to take a long time to get the estate settled. The Tribute concert is still on for the 13th but that's all of the latest I've heard, other than the authorities are going to go after the person(s) who prescribed and/or gave those pills to Prince, be it a back alley drug dealer or a legitimate doctor.

Today the mailman delivered a bluray copy of Sign 'O' The Times which is Prince's concert movie from 1987. Haven't seen this in years. I have it on video tape but who the heck has a video player anymore? ;-D Anyhoo, I found it on Amazon and bought it even though it is listed as 'non-regional' and is stated to play in US bluray players. It Does! I am so happy that I bought this as now I can see His Royal Bad*ss in all of his glory live on stage!!
