My husband was invited to Paisley Park in the 90’s, a friend of his was recording in his studio and he ran into Prince in the hallway. We would go to his night club Glam Slam he owned in Minneapolis in the early 90’s. A friend paid a membership fee so we would could use the pass, you could hang out with Prince on a private floor overlooking the dance floor. He would be in the corner by himself observing, he gave the vibe he wanted to be alone. He would crash the dance floor in the downtown Mpls bars, he would walk through the middle of the dance floor with his body guards. Fun memories, he loved Mpls!

He was a really neat dude. I'm from the Twin Cities, and my summer job during college was doing QA at a local food plant. We had a bottling department that normally made industrial quantities of salsas (many styles of our own and co-manufactured for others), sweet & sour sauce for major chains, BBQ sauce for private label and retail, and similar. One of the people who we did a few R&D runs for once in the early 90s... was Prince. His people got in contact with us, and we worked out the details - a few of his people were over during the production test runs, and I was able to take home a case of each of the flavors made... there was a marinara type sauce, an alfredo one, and several others I forget the details of atm. Oddly enough, I ended up talking to his personal chef several times (a guy named "Pony Tail"), and we got to chat about the Purple One himself. He described Prince as basically being really fun to be around, but who had astonishingly severe ADD or similar... exactly why people thought he was odd, was simply his own brain wiring. He slept at odd times and worked days on end on occasion, following the creative bug. We didn't end up going to retail on those products, as we would have needed to get a huge heat exchanger in order to cold-pack the alfredo variety... and if we couldn't do them all, he didn't want to do any. He dabbled in lots of things along those lines.

I was invited Paisley Park with two of my friends in the early 90”s on many occasions, mostly at 4 or 5am, it was surreal to see him perform on stage with only around 15 people watching; on some nights!! he even let us wander around including the upstairs. I might do a story about it. He was always kind. We were always at Glam Slam upstairs as well. lots of celebrities were there.

I'll be heartbroken all my days 💔💔💔 Forever grateful I got to see this man live on stage xx

[@kratonmajapahit7386]

He was also a man who helped people in need. That empathy side and selflessness was never highlighted. His spiritual side also was very powerful. if you listen to and hear his music it's truly SOUL MUSIC. Just writing this to honor him and perhaps some younger generation can feel his depth and know of his greatness of heart. He was very discreet about his humanitarian side. True greatness.

Prince was a one off. He didn't make cookie cutter music that could be put in a nice, safe category to sell easily. He was himself 100% and that is very rare and very brave especially nowadays when anything and anyone that does not fit into a neat little box without corporate labels or approval is classed as "weird"

I live in Minnesota & I am from the Twin Cities. It was an honor to have Prince as one of our own. His death impacted MANY, but us here in Minnesota... it hit hard. I visited his home with friends that were fellow fans (I would go as far to say "Super fan" lol) & left Balloons as well as a note. It wasn't much, but to be there was a great honor & now every time I watch Purple Rain... it's more of a tiny ritual in celebration of his life. Prince was awesome, there will never be another like him. 💜RIP Beautiful one💜
