lol I am not going to dig up old threads trying to verify if you wanted to get your hands on stuff Prince didn't want you to have. Nope, not doing it. I'll take your word for it.

I'm just saying, why be all holier than thou on one subject and not be down for every subject. His songs were his children, if you're not all ride and die to protect his children I'm really not going take you that seriously.

Trust I'm not promoting that book by any stretch of the imagination. That damned release date irks me too. But it really is just a part of his life if all truth is told but I'd take half the story of that time over others wild speculations any day of the week.



Then stop wrongly accusing opponents of false claims. It only discredit you and her book as orgers know I don't do anything you said.



Sorry your feelings got hurt. I wasn't being all that serious. I think I've expressed what I think. Take it as you will. I'm going to do what I'm going to do, regardless of anyone's judgment. And be honest doing it.





You can speak your mind but making false accusations will take you nowhere. Orgers are bright and can assess people. Thus I am not hurt by any means and have faith truth be revealed.
Jokes or not, you dug your own grave and hers.

Don't really see how reading this book is any different from reading any other biography of him available, except that the person writing it might base the stories off first hand encounters rather than heresay, gossip and so on. We talk about the man here in depth... his scent, his sexuality, his relationships and divorces... I don't see how reading this book is somehow more of a violation of privacy than anything else we do.

Oh my gawd. Seriously? You are going to have to take this ride on your own from here on out. I honestly don't care. Nobody here pays not one of my bills, get over your importance in my life. Maybe you can jack up my email account or something I guess if it's that important to you but seriously you are attacking way too much.

I hear what you are saying nursev. I am kinda shocked at the timing of the release date, but I also kinda expected the people close to Prince doing this exact thing. Especially his wives since they have probably a lot to share. I knew the books would come rolling out after his passing it was just a question of when. I am honestly not sure how I feel about this. A part of me is mad as hell for the fact he is gone and there is nothing we can do to change this. But on the other hand maybe it is therapeutic for Mayte to do this and is not strictly for financial reasons although duh that is definitely a nice by-product.

This just sux butt that we may have to read about Prince's life and thoughts and feelings from other peoples perspective when we were about to get his personal memoirs The Beautiful Ones released per what he said earlier this year. I pray his family and friends speak the truth and nothing but the truth and not slander Prince.

[Edited 9/19/16 18:34pm]

If I read any book about Prince's life it will be his half written memoir and nothing else. Prince already wrote his own life story...he lived it. So MG and whoever else cant tell me shit.

I wonder if they will release whatever Prince wrote that was intended for that memoir release.

I'm not all that interested considering the source and her history. Wouldn't consider her a writer either. Wasn't she on some stupid reality show? At one time she and Prince seemed in love, but how they met, how long they were married, where she is now, makes her motives a little suspect. I'm sure there will be better books.

Yes, this is a prettyman, Princey!

Hex-2-the-yeah I'd buy that book. Put it on shelf right next to Sheila E.'s autobiography, too! lol

If you don't like the idea of the exposure that it would reveal, we'll need to have a fan memoir published to cover all of those riveting fan-facts of why Prince was so important 2 U.

2 bad Prince didn't get a chance to finish his memoirs, I'd check that too, of course--even if it turned out to be one of his picture-story-laden-with-poetry type publications.

yes

Have no plans to order it....but my sister preordered TWO copies.So I can guarantee Iam going to be told all the details eek I hope writing this gives Mayte peace after telling her story. I will be honest when I say Iam curious about a lot of stuff. But I do not want graphic details like"we made love once every six months on nights when the moon was full" type of mess! lol.

I would like for her to tell an honest account of what happened during her pregnancy with Ahmir(sp?)P's overdose in 1996.What she feels is the reason her marriage ended and most of all, how she became friends with Mani. I think if you gonna put your business out there at least answer the burning questions and end speculation.

Mayte is getting older and I think she is realizing that this will be her last chance to cash in on her involvement with P. She is looking to have her and her daughter set up for life.Plus she is always trying to raise money to keep her animal rescue going so she could be saying this is it for me, I gotta make this work. She has a lot of info on PRINCE one of( if not) THE most secretive,elusive entertainer EVER. Iam sure her team has told her the potiential to have a bestseller. BUT she is gonna have to tell all to get people to buy it.She has one shot at this. Publishers etc want to make money they have prepped her Iam sure to "bring it" I think she will. She's in her 40's with a kid to put through college.She can't bellydance forever. As P's fan I certainly am not cheering this on just guessing about where her head could be at in the midst of all this. sad

Ahahahaha! I always read those reviews smile


I'm probably won't be able to completely avoid this book because snippets will likely be posted here on the Org and elsewhere on the internet. But I refuse to reward tackiness with my hard earned money hmph! To me, most of the tackiness comes from the fact that Prince is no longer here to deny, refute, or defend himself. But there are other reasons. Have you read the blurb about the book? It's already anticipating competition and trying to position itself as the one definitive book about Prince! whofarted


For those who feel that Mayte needs and deserves to heal, I agree woot! Everyone should have that chance and I wish her well in that regard. But writing a book the only way for her to heal?!? Is there really no other way? How about writing a journal, or seeing a therapist? Lots of people have managed to overcome and triumph without writing a book! disbelief



I also seriously doubt it's worth my time too, because any information in the book will necessarily be filtered through MG's eyes and it's not her perspective I'm really interested in. Now Prince's book I would pre-order several copies of in a heartbeat, because it's his point of view I am truly curious about.
