    Cat IS a true RIDE OR DIE friend to Prince. I loved every minute of this interview. I take my hat off to Cat. Not only was she a force to be reckoned with as a performer, she added a specific kind of SEXINESS and SWAG to Prince that NO OTHER dancer could give. It took me a while to gather the emotional strength to listen to this interview. Cats words truly warm my heart. P love💜💜💜

I agree with you and your statements about what the powers that be are doing to Paisley Park. I had heard about the thoughts about serving alcohol at Paisley Park,but I heard that it was decided NOT to allow Alcohol there. I agree with you.NO WAY,,,would Prince allow that to be done at Paisley Park. He would want it to be a place where it would benefit the music industry , where people could go there to record. Prince didn’t build it to be a Shrine. He didn’t die without a Will either,,,He was too intelligent for that. Thank you Cat for this interview , I had wondered why we had not heard from you. I am sorry about your illness and Thankfully to God and your true friends and loving family who were there for you. I had heard Prince didn’t want people to know that he gave to many people who deserved a helping hand. I hope someday the true story about his death will come out and they will be punished. Good Luck to you in your future Cat. God Bless You. ❤️🙏☮️. 84’

      Even though $1,000 is a bit excessive, Prince is no longer there bringing in $80,000 a night. How do folks expect it to stay open? I wonder. Cat is doing nothing but flapping her gums. She doesnt like how PP is run, she doesn't like she can't just walk up in there, even though it is privately owned, she doesn't like people writing books about him, she has her nose in the family finances, which is none of her business.
      Prince isn't here anymore and it is irrelevant how it used to be when he was alive, because he isnt.
      And lastly, she is behind this Appollonia/Sheila E garbage 3 days before the anniversary of his death. So much for her love of Prince.

    If ever you want to seperate the heresy, the rumors, the tabloid nonsense and all the other garbage from the facts about Prince, you can do no better than listen to CAT GLOVER. I am so glad Cat is speaking FACTS. And doing so unabashedly.
    So honest. So real. Exposing the leaches and snakes Prince talked about in one of his songs.
    She covered the dumb tributes, the "memoirs" about Prince that truly are more about the writers themselves. (Of course Prince was so brilliant as a performer and musician- it will be difficult for ANY performer out there to give his legacy true justice in any performance). She truly revealed why Prince would not have endorsed ANY of the stuff they are doing to his legacy now.
    And I can see why Prince gravitated towards Cat. She was a standout. She wasn't trying to be like any of those typical "prince proteges". She knew what she was good at and focused only on that. Prince highly respected her for that. As for beauty? If she only knew how many dudes drooled and stumbled over each other to get close to her.

    • @tesswonderful4194
      @tesswonderful4194 4 роки тому +5

      I agree with some of this. But she was on this program doing exactly what she is accusing others of doing. Books are pretty much historical information, the same as magazine interviews, and radio programs. This interview is her book. People wrote books because the public wants to know from people who knew him. She is on this show for exactly the same reason, because she is Cat and she knew Prince. There is zero difference - paid or not. She will some boost from this in some way. She gossiped her ass off. Every now and then she would say "I dont feel comfortable.." but she still shared personal conversations. She named names and shared their thoughts. What did spilling about Suzannah, Sheila, and Ingrid have to do her? Why would she quote Matt Fink as a friend and somebody who feels like she does - and he is doing the opposite - still playing in the Revolution.
      Re the memoir, that was a contract that was signed while Prince was alive. He interviewed Prince - and he shared that information. The rest of the book was Prince's words.
      Re Paisley - yeah, she USED to walk in. He is gone, he doesnt own it, so why would you want to walk in now? Can you walk in anybody else's house because someone you knew used to live there?
      As far as money, what are they supposed to do? His music is his legacy. He is not there anymore to make $80,000 a night. We may not agree with everything the Estate is doing but I always ask - what is YOUR solution. Nobody ever has an answer. She said PP is not a party house. Exactly what is an after party? He gave plenty of parties.
      In the end - I dont know her, I never heard her speak before, I had no previous opinion. My thoughts are based 100% on THIS interview.

      But that's all in hindsight.
      Your reply makes sense in so many ways. Nonetheless it doesn't alter my sense, that out of the numerous interviews covered about him after his passing, there are just a few that, to me, comes awfully close to revealing Prince's wishes and his views on matters.
      Cat, to me, is on that list.

      @@keithbell9348 I agree 100%. He didnt leave a will - or they cant find one - whichever is true. That is why this constant conversation about what he wanted is pointless. There is no will. You can shout it until the end of time that you dont believe there was no will, but until one is found the Estate has to do their thing.
      And we know he told different people different things, he contradicted even himself, so who knows what he wanted.. As far as alcohol at Paisley, he did apparently drink wine. Again, we may not like everything the Estate does but they have to do something to make money, otherwise PP closes, there is no more music coming out.
      Is there shady stuff? I am sure there is. But at some point folks have to stop flapping their gums and present something that can be prosecuted.
      One last thing. There was always speculation about him taking a drug around the Black album. He never publicly comfirmed that. She is so against everyone else talking about him, she says, but she felt comfortable saying yes he did. How is she different?

      Prince was very forthcoming on how he did not trust lawyers. How he had a concept of "counting time" or that to him that concept did not exist. As if he was somehow impervious to its effects on him as it does the rest of us.
      So when she expressed that he absolutely did, what evidence does she have to support that? She didnt mention it.

      FELICIA R. 😮. Well, Cat got married and had more kids with her hubby at the time. So Prince was out of the picture. Prince didn’t have any kids, but he apparently doted on his little sis Tyka. I’m convinced that is the type of dad he would be. Maybe 😉. He would love them so much but he would be overprotective to the point they felt smothered and stifled? That’s my take on how he treated Tyka (from tabloid resources 😆). My very biased opinion.

    Great interview and I'm glad you finally caught up with Cat. I agree with some of what she's talking about. About Paisley Park, I only agree with the liquor licence thing. If he didn't have alcohol before, then don't do it now. That's when I mentioned a will, because you don't lay out instructions on how you want things once you leave this earth, people are gonna take advantage and do what they want after you're gone.
    About her not believing Prince did have a will, she hasn't been around Prince since the late 80's early 90's, she doesn't know how he conducted his business just like the rest of us. I disagreed about the tributes and the books. The tributes are fine if they are out of love and who's doing them. I agreed with her about just picking somebody because they are the it factor , but they were not fans/admirers of Prince. About the books coming out after Prince's demise, I don't see a problem with it as long as it's done out of love and respect. How is not ok for Mayte, Kim Berry, Mi-Ling Poole and anybody else to have a book out after his passed but Wally Stafford is an exception? She was around, but she has not been around in the last 20 years . So I can only really believe the stuff said happened from back in the day.
    Lastly I'm really disappointed about her meeting with George Michael, but I admire him as one of the best male vocalist ever. But gay or not, treat a woman with respect and kindness regardless of what your sexual preference is.

Morris was a high school friend so they had a friendship. Mayte was his ex wife and they went through alot during there married. Kim did his hair so i know they were tight. Cat haven't been around for yrs so Prince changed alot during his life.

Love how confident Cat is, and I can tell she had a close working relationship with Prince. Driving his car, arguing with him, and still surviving that 😮. So Sweet he called her in the hospital and paid her hospital bill. She was one of his musical family members. Family is family! He took care of his family. I wonder what he said to her on the phone. He was truly misunderstood and really cared about his music family. He seemed devastated by Vanity too. And they haven’t worked together for decades! In my opinion Prince was very misunderstood and was an authentic caring dude. Thanks Cat for standing up for Prince! It seems like so many say and write hurtful things about him, and all he wanted to do was help them. 😕. I do believe he was demanding though, but there was always love! ☺️. Cat was an excellent dancer!

      @@stephaniemeals4983 the coroner has no idea if Prince's death was an accidental overdose or a suicide. Do you know how they ruled out the possibility that Prince killed himself? They couldn't find a suicide note and no one would admit that Prince was depressed and expressed a desire to harm himself.
      If there was a suicide note, it was destroyed. If there was a will lying around, it was destroyed, too. When Prince died, his staff members were allowed to contaminate the death scene by tampering with evidence, including Prince's laptop.
      At the time of his death, Prince was prescribed anxiety medication. He told Tyka that he had done everything he was born to do; a clear sign of hopelessness. Prince also told Shelby J., that he was "tired" and "ready to go." Prince was sleeping a lot and dreaming about dead loved ones - both are signs of severe depression.
      Prince intended to die on the plane ride from Atlanta. His last concert was meant to be his final act. However, Prince didn't count on an emergency landing interfering with his plan. So... what did Prince do after getting a second chance at life? He waited a couple of days. He made everyone think he was okay. Then, when he was ready to try again, Prince instructed everyone to leave Paisley Park and he purposely ingested more counterfeit drugs! I believe he ingested drugs from the SAME BATCH that nearly killed him on the plane!
      Trust me, this was not an accident.
