WOULD YOU LIKE PRINCE TO WRITE HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY?

Is it TIME for him to give Us his VIEWPOINT on The RECORD COMPANIES, HIS LIFE, His BUSINESS DEALINGS?

Prince has rambled quite enough about record companies. It's time to shut up about that now.

And no. I'd want the closest thing possible to the truth from an autobiography, not the farthest.

no, on the account that he bullshits too much when he speaks as it is. do we really need it in written form as well?

eye was born a year that does not matter. My father was John L., a musician. He named me after his band. in which my mom was for a while. That sort of set me up for sleeping with the girls in the band later on, except for Gayle, Wendy, Rosie and Bonnie.

eye can't remember when eye first used my gift and eye wouldn't tell u the year anyhoo. But it was the Batman theme. That came in handy later, U'll see.

He would have this site a buzz if he did. Probably bigger than an album or tour, We love gossip.

IF he'd actually come clean about everything, heck yeah, it'd be something else! But I can't see him doing that, gotta keep up the "enigma" image I guess. shrug

To Journal: I wanted to tell my story in an autobiographical publication, however it seems I have been writing criptic to even myself. Trust is something I have had trouble with all my life. Problem is I have forgotten what all my criptic ramblings mean. I guess I will have to make shit up again.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

i'd only like for him to write his autobiography if:

A. he is somehow FORCED to be objective about his life and to tell the FACTS, and not some rewritten, revisionist history skewed towards making him look good.

and

B. the book is not written and printed in PrinceSpeak, all rhymey and riddley and full of "2"s and "U"s and "4ever"s, etc. my eyes couldn't make it through an entire book of that, seriously.

a bio would be a horrible idea, Prince would have it so full of crap that it would be worthless as a way to have a history of him. He's got so many issues and complexes about his privacy and his need to be seen as some sort of mystic icon that any real day to day happenings that go on and have made his life interesting would be left out. He's too conscious of his image. Rockers like Little Richard and Chuck Berry made great bios because they weren't afraid to reveal everything. Prince can't do that.

Wow, you took the words right out of my mouth. He bullshits about everything. I wouldn't believe a word of anything he would write. Perhaps when he's much older he may decide to tell the truth, but if he wrote his bio now, it would be full of lies and mis-information.

Ditto everyone else. It'd be interesting to read something if he ever decided to be honest, but he's got too many issues for that. The man's a chronic bullshitter and by now none but the looniest of fams would be gullible enough to buy it.

I dont know about that. How much can your eyes take of seeing words replaced by numbers and symbols?:

"Dear all, Eye'm writing my bio 2 tell U all the things eye've want 2 tell U B4 eye realize that we R all going 2 die way 2 soon."

By page 22, that should would drive me crazy. eek biggrin

Prince autobiography? No thanks. It'll be worse than MJ's Dancing the Dream, it'll be like Dancing to Caream.
But i wouldn't mind finding out from the man himself about where and when he had the time of his life and with whom, wink ...er, then again, maybe not.
