Paisley Park Proposed PUD AmendmentPrince Rogers Nelson was arguably the finest musical virtuoso in history. His art transcended the
boundaries of race and faith and affected millions of people from all cultural and socioeconomic groups.
His advocacy for artists' rights, especially those of songwriters and musicians, is unparalleled and has
forever changed the music industry. Prince's impassioned mission has inspired and empowered artists
worldwide as they now embrace the unprecedented idea that an artist can and should maintain
ownership and control of his work.
Purple OutCry is a global network of Prince Friends and supporters who have united and
continue to unify in a common goal: the vigorous protection of Prince's artistic legacy and the fervent
promotion of his strongly-held belief that artists can be, and should be, the owners of the work they
create.
It is our goal that the Maestro’s writings, recordings, musical vault, and Paisley Park, his beloved
residence and workspace, be protected from alteration, manipulation, and/or unseemly modification.
The unaltered recordings of his music must be shielded in order to ensure that his legacy is intact for
future generations; the work of this great master must be protected for posterity.
We at Purple OutCry believe that the responsibility to further the Maestro's mission of artistic
advocacy is now in the hands of his Friends; that it is our charge to ensure that artists are educated
with regard to their rights and that they have access to the resources they need to maintain ownership
and control of their creations.
We ask for your support as we endeavor to ensure that Prince's art, including the Paisley Park
compound, be protected from alteration or detrimental manipulation in order that the Maestro’s work
be preserved in its original state for all future generations. We ask for your assistance in furthering
Prince's mission of advocacy so that artists may continue to learn and benefit from his remarkable
foresight and his unparalleled dedication.
We thank you for your attention and support and welcome your input as we continue our mission
to preserve for posterity the monumental legacy of The Maestro, Prince Rogers Nelson.
