I have been reading a few books lately on different artist and I recently went 2 the book store looking for books. The one thing that stood out was that there was NOT 1 book on Prince.

It would REALLY be great if Prince wrote his autobiography. I bet that would be one HELL of a read.

As Much as I think this would be great.. Prince has always been the most honest in his msuic. I believe his music is the best autobiography that we'll get. Prince doesn't seem like he does much reflecting, but more pushing forward.

True but if Prince does NOT write it, who would?

It's safe to assume that this will NEVER happen.

lol. U are probably right.

Graycap23 said:

Well the vault is a pretty good history on what P has done. gone etc.

superspaceboy said:

That's just a track record of recording.

Graycap23 said:

Not just. I know the print is tiny, but there is more to the chronology than recordings.

superspaceboy said:

I would NOT consider that an autobiography in any way.

It's the closest thing to a well-researched biography as we've got.

I would like to see a video documentary on Prince.
Something a la 'No Direction Home' by Scorcese about Dylan.

Graycap23 said:

Of course it's not. He didn't write it. And it hardly scratches the surface with the whys. It's a lot more factual than anything.

Well with the first mention of it in BLB,
maybe there's hope. At least it's on his
mind.

FunkMistress said:

Exactly!

And, even if he did write it, it would be full of shit anyway. I wouldn't believe half of it.

graycap, u should tell him his fans want the book

txladykat said:

I wonder U.

Graycap23 said:

LOL, I am being serious! You have an inside dont you? Tell him we want an autobiography.

txladykat said:

Trust, It's on my list.

FunkMistress said:

and thank gawd, because it:

1) would be hell to read, with all the princebonics in it
2) would be chock-full of prince skirting the truth, probably

.........

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

Yeah...even if one did come out, who's to say it would be the truth?

Isn't it funy that as spiritual as he is and as much as we love the guy, most of us would have a difficult time believing his version of things. He'd have to take a tone that would quell anyones disbelief.

Hey, Michael Jackson has always been a lying s'um bitch, too. But people still bought his autobiography.

myself for turning this into a P/MJ thread.

yES YOU REALLY SHOULD!!!

I hope he never does and stays an enigma

I don't know. Prince is such a unique FORCE in the history of music that I think the music world would be short changed if no biography was written about him. There is so much 2 Prince that the public does NOT know.

Graycap23 said:

Yeah, but do you really want 200+ pages in Princebonics??? Hell, I can't even stand the NPGMC e-mails!

I'd rather like him filming "Graffiti Bridge 2", I think...

EmancipationLover said:

As opposed 2 nothing? Yes.....

Graycap23 said:

I prefer not 2 know.

I do not think he will ever write a book about himself, he is too private, but it would be nice if he did, I have read books about him by other people, it would be nice to hear from the man himself.

He can write an autobiography or let others write his biography instead. Right now, the latter is all that's out there, which has alot to do with the negative perception of what his life's about. It just may not matter to him to set the record straight.
