Deleted! I'm avoiding any preview of The Beautiful Ones. No pix, no quotes. There's so little of Prince's writing in there, I don't want to waste a word of it. Like a movie that gives all the great parts away in the trailers.

Posting any pictures or paragraphs would be in copy right violation.

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.

Chapter 4, Good Times, towards the end.

The demo?

.

Yeah, I have no clue what "bombshell" I'm supposed to see there, certainly nothing about Husney and/or Moon co-writing various tracks. I've searched for both their names throughout the e-book and found nothing even remotely like that.

.

LovePaisley better be providing some solid evidence, because it's looking like they're spouting lies so far. Post the first words of the sentence that starts the paragraph that's supposedly so controversial instead of these stupid vague clues.

No spoilers - but I have to say, this is a FANTASTIC read. We finally hear from a peer, someone very close. In his lifetime we heard nothing so not to shake that mystery. Since his passing, so many great great stories have come out. However, this one may be the best recounting and description of who Prince was and how he was formed. Morris' explanations are super..he does not sugar coat the fact that Prince was a TOTAL control freak but he also does not hold back on how much of a genius he believes Prince was. His recounting of Prince being an amazing guitarist siting all the bands he listened to and emulated....Clapton, Jimmy Page etc. I have always wondered what Prince was listening to as a child/young man. Morris offers lots of info..

LOVE IT.

..and yes...would LOVE to have heard him read this in his Morris voice and style.

Bottom page 33, where MD claims that P lied about the demo tapes submitted to the record companies.

The other is the fact that MD videotaped P's openings for the Rolling Stones, giving hope that it was in the vault.

I just listened to the whole book today. I really enjoyed it. Personally, I loved the style of imaginary conversations. I just wish it had been even longer and more in depth. Morris seems brutally honest in it.

Amazon lost my book.

How the heck they lose your book?

At the beginning of the week they shipped it to a facility in my city.

Instead of delivering it, they decided to ship it to Iowa.


I dont live in Iowa.

So I've only read the sample and Morris' voice already has me cracking up. Talking about girls buzzing around Prince's 'pint-sized ass like bees around honey' - lol. I don't know how I feel about Prince 'co-narrating' this book, but if anyone knows Prince, it's Morris. And I have to hand it to him, he seems pretty earnest. Knowing what I already know about Morris' long and not-always-rosy past with Prince, I also believe he genuinely loves and respects Prince. I will read this book.

Once you've read the whole thing, his approach makes sense. He addresses the fall outs head on, and he uses the play with 'Prince' to give the opposite opinion, to ensure the version of events doesn't come across one sided.

The second from last chapter is very sad but heart warming.

I really enjoyed the whole thing.

Excellent book - loved it. Morris is such a great character and artist and his chemistry with Prince was epic. The book is informative, respectful and cool and I really like the influence of David Ritz. Similar to his Rick James & Marvin bios there is an easy flow to the books narrative and chronology courtesy of Ritz's talent and experience. Thoroughly worthwhile - bring on 1999 Super Deluxe!!!!!
