    This interview was another great opportunity to better learn and glean from Ms. Sheila Johnson. When I first read her testimony especially about the significance of the salamander, I felt the happiness of courage and strength rise up in my spirit not only for Ms. Johnson but for myself as well because I was also able to heal from divorce and regain myself, my strength and my peace. Also, I have been blessed to celebrate a birthday weekend at the Salamander in Washington, DC and the experience was FANTASTIC. I planned to return in the future so I was excited to learn about how the hotel will have a new restaurant coming soon. I will continue to pray for Ms. Johnson’s total and divine healing in Jesus name, Amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    As a 40 year prince super fan that I think I am, what if I don’t want to be nostalgic about purple rain? Is that bad? It’s 40 years I keep getting reminded I was in high school. The movie an album made me a fan lifelong super fan. But I don’t like this book. I don’t want to be nostalgic. I don’t wanna go back to high school I’m still I haven’t even gotten around to enjoying the diamonds and pearl super deluxe and it’s already been 40 and I must if I don’t? No, I’m not gonna buy this book i’m not gonna buy that other book either. . Prince even castigated this author apparently for trying to take him backwards back to that time. Even Prince said it was like high school going back to that revolution and time. The lady said a lot of beautiful things but it’s saddens me that well. It’s kind of sad that it’s now. Anyways, my point is that not every fan waxes nostalgic collectively you know there are some that just like me I just don’t I’m not there. It’s nostalgia just arrived to you not forced because it’s a 30th or 40th or 10th or buys into all the opera opportunistic were some fans will buy things because they want it in the collection and they think it should be in it. I mean, people are free to buy none of my business but it’s just something wrong

    I don’t like this book. Am I supposed to as a 40 year prince fan buy it? Do I have to wear purple! Do I have to go back to high school? If you were in college back to college days? Do I have to be nostalgic I need to include this book in my collection? I sold my vast collection several years ago. I think the thing I have left over from it are some magazine and clippings from 1984 through I think the mid 90s but I grew out of it. From purple rain didn’t cast castigate so Hansson we’re going back and trying to pull him backwards And force him to celebrate it the 30th anniversary or something? Why? It says this purple breakaway civilization of fans have broke away! People of course are free to do what they want free to put it up on their wall free to start to consent again and collect records until you have no more room, I’m done. It’s all inside here. It’s all inside the park right? I know all my heart. I think I could in my mind. I could see every photograph I’ve ever seen. Tell you every article I mean I can go on and on you internalize it’s in your heart, the progression is movement from dark and cold, which describe purple rain as the revolution the semi fictional revolution and then he went. It made his own studio and he was in the light so much more.

    It is revolting to see that kkk runs the US. Unbelievable, but in those years they killed Mr Sacco and Mr Vanzetti for fighting freedom and falsely accusing of a crime never committed. All 'minorities' were animals to the US. And for what I read in certain scientific research papers they still thin k of guys as such. And racist Italian must remember that no, in the US not even whites are equal.

    Worthy. That should be a word that Willow repeats to herself. I can't help but feel that so much creativity leaves Willow somewhat raw or open to others feelings which can occasionally be negative or less than warm and welcoming. Our artistic side can be harmed or stripped by that which in turn affects our heart and head. Stay strong Willow, you are worthy!
