Title: "Paisley Park Studios Opens Doors to the Public"
Written By:

Commoners are being allowed to party like it's 1999 at the Chanhassen, Minn., studio used by the artist formerly known as Prince. The pop star who wrote and recorded 1999, Purple Rain and other hits opened his Paisley Park Studios to the public last weekend as a recreation center with late-night dancing and music videos.

In its trial run Saturday, Paisley charged a $5 cover and offered a performance by the Purple One himself, who changed his name two years ago to an unpronounceable symbol.

Paisley Park officials won't say how active its sound stage and music studios are these days. But they say the rec-center nights won't interfere with business.
