Because i feel that perhaps what he did write was some sort of index for what was to come, like a summary of topics to cover, and if that were the case, it would not be chronological yet. So with that in mind, I think the P&M photos would be great, cause they would complement those few pages, that summary of topics that would have no follow up, they would be left at that.

Apparently, P's intention was to stop the book at 2007 (the Superbowl appearance) although I do think that would have been a mistake on his part as so much took place afterwards! Still not sure why he wanted to stop it there. Maybe he was going to publish a part 2. Baby, you're a star.

Not sure what it all means. Perhaps that was HIS idea of a 30th anniversary - the release of his first album, not Purple Rain... 🤔 [Edited 10/30/16 11:51am] | |

. Wrong again as per usual. http://www.vogue.com/1341...ouncement/ .
. FYI 50 pages is a standard minimal requirement before a publisher starts thinking about handing over large sums of money, especially when it invovles someone who's known to renege on deals. © Bart Van Hemelen

I know that. Please allow for some artistic freedom, will you? Prince wanted it to stop at the 2007 Superbowl, we don't know why. When you start writing your biography you usually start at the beginning, however we don't know what those 50 pages contain and if there are more. Since Prince isn't here they may release it with additional bio written by someone else. Or they might just release the 50 pages with pictures. He was going to end it in 2007, if it's released with additional info it probably will end with his death. Baby, you're a star.

Don't Know about or....... all of what happens to get some1 to take on a book .... or what the requirements R for one to agree on publishing, however I was just thinking to myself " ....when will we hear something on the 50 pages??? that Prince was working on. Also hoping if there are other writings that were found,....... maybe they could be placed in the book to maybe fill in along with (photo's) to have a almost finished product.... maybe by catogories...i say almost finished cause if the 50 pages weren't finished then without Prince closing out the book. It will never be finish...withouh Prince .... but a Beautiful (place) inside Prince Mind & Heart. I really do pray & hope this..... will be offered Blessings Purp Heads ......I'm sure this would mean a lot to so many.....P4ever ..my Honeybee
LO:luv: E Allwayz.... HoneyBabe.... it can be sweet....if we just take the time 2 taste & C....
Love Alwayszzz ~Prince Smiling Makes Joy Come Alive........and Joy can never die ......... | |

Bruce is nothing like Prince or very many people. He's more open, humble and honest. He's willing to admit to faults and fuckups, not too many people are, so, of course that makes it more interesting. Unfortunately, I had the oppurtunity to meet him, he stopped in seatttle on the book tour, i didn't hear about it until the next day, I was pretty depressed myself.
Also, I wonder how much of anything in anyone's bio is true, bruce might have put some depression in to spice the thing up. A book has to have selling points, tragic stories and scandals, people love that. I can't tell you how many times I've scratched my head reading bios and wondering if things happened the way someone said. Patti Labelle said Jackie Wilson raped her, it's probably true, another woman came out and said the same, but Patti saved it for her book. Darlene Love tried to say Elvis made a pass at her and said he'd never been with a black woman, which, if other sources are correct, isn't true. Cybil sheppard tried to say she taught elvis to give cunnilingus, which, i doubt, i'm sure elvis did plenty of things by the time he was with Cybil in his 30's. /- Patti said Jackie tried to rape her and she was able to fight him off. She also said he was drunk at the time. | |

I'd be curious to know why he chose to stop at the Super Bowl. Paisley Park is in your heart

. Thanks for clarifying that. I would most definately want to read his memoirs. Sadly, he never got the chance to complete it, but I hope it remains as he would have wanted (unedited).

oh, that's right. At any rate, it's kinda strange how people get such different sides of the same person. I think Aretha had totally different experience of Jackie. Jackie had a pretty clean image in listening to his interviews he's very articulate. I don't know, sometimes god does bring you down though, he lived ten years of his life as a vegetable.
