I couldn't immediately recall seeing Prince in jeans while bare chested (a fetching look on any dude...grr, woof, and yum), like, ever, so to Google images I went. Good lord...
Looks like if he turned around there would be some garish oversized logo on his backside.

LITTLE RED CORVETTE DOES NOT SUCK

I remember back when google street view was a somewhat new feature, typing in "Paisley Park" expecting to see some kind of bonkers magical music making factory. Instead it looks like the most boring 1980s office park-looking building that should house the corporate headquarters of a gravel company or something.

Remember Pop-Up Video? I recall watching the video for "Raspberry Beret" with some of the facts being that Prince fired the animator and finished it himself. Everyone looked at the final cut and was like: wut

SLIFT - UMMON (2020)

Cool music! Makes me think of that Cave - Hunt Like Devil track me and the boys used to blast in weed sessions.

The museum inside is cool though. Among other things, it had his motorcycle from Purple Rain, the big room where he used to host all-night jams, and - this kind of shocked me - his ashes in a frosted glass case in the lobby. We just did the standard tour, if you pay more you get to see/do more.

And 'Little Red Corvette' is my 2nd favorite Prince song, after 'U Got the Look'.

Haha ok U Got the Look rocks. This is Skinny Puppy!

There's a good chance it's more decked out as a museum than it ever was as an active facility. That's just kind of a guess though, I think I remember some stories on here from zom-zom about him or his friends doing contract work there back in the day.

It’s that time of year when 50 degrees Fahrenheit (10C) has gone from “fuck, that’s cold” to “fuck, that’s warm” in a matter of a few weeks.

I don't like Prince.

I could happily spend all day watching YouTube videos of wild cockatoos interacting with Aussies.
