Gotta love how these first two pages are filled with realistic expectations ("ain't gonna happen", "gonna be shite"), except for a few famz who can't stand to be confronted with factual statements.

It's really simple: list all of the publications Prince has been involved in and look at their contents.


.


Good luck to his publishers. Guess he found another sucker; I hope they haven't already paid him for this.




Gotta love how this thread was a reasonable discussion of a project between fans with various levels of excitement and some trepidation, except for one infamous bitter ex-fan who can't stand the idea of fans being positive about a new project.

It's really simple : list all of the posts you have made about Prince in the last 20 years and look at their contents.

Good luck to anyone who knows you in real life and has to deal with this constant level of misery-guts bullshit. You're so consistent that people could set their watches by you.

How about you tell us all about something Prince has done that you've enjoyed or appreciated in the last 15-20 years? Just one. Go on.


I couldnt have said it better myself! Prince has some real negative Nancy's in his "fan" base!
If it breaks when it bends, U better not put it in!

I think the basic premis of this site is that for many every single announcement made re a new product/venture it is met with derision, anger and cynicism.sad but alas very true. Luckily there does seems to be some level headed, balanced (read 'mature') people on here.

On the plus side, it will probably be available for only a few bucks in the bargain bins within months. Nice!

UncleJam said: -// I have never seen so many dumb ass comments on this board. A lot of you out did yourselves this time. Anything Prince writes about the creative process is going to be interesting but you guys run out and check out the Chris Brown documentary.

Exactly. Too many celebrities write salacious tell-all books that are trashy and reveal details about other people that they had no business including in their memoir. Prince writing about his creative process writing a song, composing, arranging, recording, reheasing bands-would be fascinating because its coming from the source and not third parties exploiting his life story for their gain. Despite contrary public opinion, a memoir can be interesting without gossip.

A "memoir" explaining his family and the people who he met along the way of his creative process means that...hmm...he may explain why Andre Cymone was wrong and he didnt steal Do Me Baby...how did he meet Susannah, how did the relationship fall apart, why no more Wendy and Lisa, why no more Mayte, his feelings about the death of his child...these types of things are what is expected in a memoir. He doesnt need to put all his business in the streets, but he has to know that if he's writing a MEMOIR, some of this must be covered.

*

That being said..."knowing" Prince the way we do, anyone who's first impression of this is that we are going to get something REAL from him... disbelief I cant wait for Sheila, Morris, Wendy, Lisa, etc. to read it and "elaborate".

Make it so, Number One...

Looks like he threw a party in celebration of a memoir that hasn't been written yet. lol

Prince doesn't believe in the concept of time. So, somewhere in time, the book is already written and that party NOW was a book release party in the FUTURE. lol

Wow.why don't you just write it instead since you seem to be a freaking expert and no doubt witnessed it all first hand. You in his inner circle I see, or maybe you're just deluded..you decide

I'm closer to a fam than a hater, and I didn't get 21 Nights until it was in the cutout section--now, it went there really fast, and it wasn't a real book (and I'm not sure if most people noticed or cared about the album). But pretty much all the rock star memoirs are in the bargain bins within just a few months. They aren't longterm sellers, in my bookstore frequenting experience. A copy or two of a trade edition might hang around longer, but the initial stock (especially if there's a hardcover edition) will either sell or wind up on the cheap shelves pretty quick. I pick those things up all the time for nothing at all. I'll get Prince's as soon as it hits, but I expect it will be cheap soon.

I'm really excited about this announcement. I'm optimistic about it being released but I'm also not expecting anything to revealing, but of course I don't really mind I guess. I'm more interested about what Prince's own perception of his life work is rather than dirt on other people. I won't be surprised if it's s little circle jerky either, but I can look over that. Some points I'm looking forward to him talking about if he does are:

-His childhood and the story about an Angel so called visiting him and telling him he won't suffer from epilepsy anymore.
-the lovesexy / black album story
-Under the cherry moon/Graffiti bridge and what he thinks of then now after all these years and how they weren't as successful as he anticipated. Especially the latter.
-Mayte possibly but I highly doubt that he will talk about her much
