Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life

Electric word life
It means forever and that’s a mighty long time
But I’m here to tell you
There’s something else
The after world

A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night

So when you call up that shrink in Beverly Hills
You know the one, Dr. Everything’ll Be Alright
Instead of asking him how much of your time is left
Ask him how much of your mind, baby

‘Cause in this life
Things are much harder than in the after world
In this life
You’re on your own

And if the elevator tries to bring you down
Go crazy

I have to put this link on here because it is awesome. Long live the real, true Prince.  8)
Almost as good as the Charlie Murphy basketball story as described on the Chappelle Show.

From the sounds of what happened it was probably prescription opioids.
Huh, for some reason I assumed that bike was a Kawasaki.

This all led up to a night shortly after the birth of Fallon’s daughter, when the host had to leave a dinner because “Prince just challenged me to a game of ping pong.”

Looks like the fight over his estate is getting ugly fast.  No will and the news stated that a DNA sample was taken in case anyone claims to be a long lost child.  Sad.

Not really. There may be bad feelings amongst the siblings but MN law is pretty clear. ALL siblings, whether half or otherwise, are entitled to equal amounts.

Whats interesting will be how is estate is handled going forward, the vault songs, etc.
