former prince guitarist tells all

did anyone here about the book that dez wrote about working with prince.
I found out about it here at this website:

http://www.dezdickerson.com/

thought it was kinda cool....gives a bit of insite into the man himself...

"Dez Says:
Many books have been written about the illustrious career of pop superstar Prince, but none was ever written by a member of his band. In this first-hand, eyewitness account of the meteoric rise of this pop icon and his early days, original Prince guitarist Dez Dickerson tells his story. As a man who was on the inside from Prince's legendary early concerts all the way to his massive breakthrough with "1999", Dez has a story to tell that has yet to be told. Tracing Dez's involvement with the band from his first audition in 1978 until his departure in 1983, My Time With Prince - Confessions of a Former Revolutionary contains never before printed personal insights from the man who was there. This book puts a more personal face on a subject that has previously been covered primarily in documentary form. Also included are never before-published photos from Dez's private collection. This is a glimpse into his personal scrapbook. My Time With Prince - Confessions Of A Former Revolutionary is a fresh look at a familiar subject from a new perspective-through the eyes of a man who was in the middle of it all."


anyone's thoughts about this?
Peace, Love, and some Purple Rain!!

how is his retrospective? Did anyone buy it and are there any songs that relate to Prince?
The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/
