Just got mine over the Inner Net! Listening to 'Crystal Ball', the song, Morris Day and given how he wrote this whole damn book...PRINCE!

I'll probably read a chapter then head off to bed!

Damn!

Morris is 62! Doesn't look it...just like I don't look my age. Tell the women you're 21 and keep it moving. Get all the drawers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's on Audible.

Audible is used by Amazon, correct?

Who's reading the book to you? Morris?

Hahahahahaha. But I think Morris is happily married but I see your point if he was single and still in a playa mode.

Arrived here today

Just finished reading this book on kindle while simultaneously listening to it on audible. Very interesting take and perspective from Morris Day. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. However, the audible experience would have been a 1000 times better if Morris Day would have done the narration himself! I would have had this audible book on constant repeat if Morris was reading - not taking anything away from Ron Butler but he ain't no Morris Day!

I'm still waiting for mine. And it hasn't even shipped yet.

Morris worked at the rental car counter of a Montgomery Ward department store.

He mentioned this on the DVD that came with the Condensate album, although I don't think he said the name of the rental place. It's been awhile since I've watched it.

I have to go grab my copy. i read two bombshells; one i believe, one i do not. Now i wonder if you're pointing to one of them.

EDIT: Yes, that is the thing i do not believe. Those songs were Soft and Wet, Baby and another. Both Chris Moon and Owen Husney were involved in the writing and recording.

You were pointed to the exact paragraph, above, by LovePaisley.

Well until my hardcopy arrives I'm working with Audible so the paragraph isn't helpful.

So you didn't even bother to look at the post that tells you THE PAGE NUMBER?

You're not understanding. I'm LISTENING to the book, I DO NOT HAVE PRINTED WORDS IN FRONT OF ME RIGHT NOW. That's Audible. It tells me chapters, not page numbers or paragraphs or lines.

Then you need to solve your own deficiency by buying a proper book.

I downloaded the audiobook from Audible and listened all day yesterday and most of the day today. It is a very interesting book. I learned a few new tidbits about their relationship that I never knew. I also learned that they recorded music at different points in their career. Some I knew about, some I didn't.

I really liked how Morris opened up about his personal life. I knew he was married a couple of times, but he was never one to broadcast his business in the street. He also never really mentioned his wives, kids or family too much. He went kind of deep in parts about his life and I applaud that.

I also loved how he shed more light as to why Jesse was in and out of the group. He didn't go into deep detail, but he did mention the root of the issue.

In the audiobook, it did get confusing hearing Morris, Prince and "MD" (his ego from Purple Rain) all have conversations. The actor that was reading didn't do a good job distinguishing the 3 voices to me.

I highly recommend it. It was funny at times, yet sad at times.

Just finished the Kindle version and loved it. I don't mind Morris using Prince in the narrative. Afterall, he is part of the narrative when it comes to Morris and the Time.
