HeyJude

If Prince wrote a tell-all book

So suppose one day Prince REALLY put some effort into an autobiography... He sits down and pours his heart out, touching on all aspects of his music and personal life... From childhood to the present, what 2 or 3 topics, moments or relationships would you like him to elaborate on...

Also, how much money would you SERIOUSLY spend on a true tell-all from Prince?

The problem is that I could never be convinced that he's telling the truth. If he wrote it under the influence of a truth serum, maybe I would believe, however I wouldn't pay anymore for his book than I do for any others.

Yeah, he would at best only tell the truth from the viewpoint of whatever mindset he happened to be in.

I mean, MJ wrote a tell-all autobiography and in it he maintained he only ever had 2 facial operations, one on his nose and one to put a cleft in his chin. Yeah right.

If Prince wrote a tell-all book he'd be in violation of his own Confidentiality Agreements and therefore he'd have to change his name to a symbol all over again to get clearance.

Do you really want to read 200 pages in this style???

"Then we decided 2 do an album 'Emancipation', 4 celebrating freedom, love and harmony. No slave 2 the system anymore. The gr8 Jehovah granted us inspiration..."

I can't even stand the e-mails from NPGMC, don't expect me to read a full book like this! biggrin

falloff I wouldn't know if he was telling the truth, but I'd probably pay quite a bit of money for it anyway, just to see what he has to say. Think of it...if he weren't telling the truth it would be fiction...and could be quite interesting fiction...lol So truth or not, I'd still read it and pay for it. It might even be funny.

And imagining a whole 200 page plus book written with the "2 u" type thing is hilarous to me. lol

Prince sell a tell all? LOL

The value of the book should be gaudged by the amount of truth you'd find in it.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.

I'd really like to read about significant experiences in his childhood cuz I think you can really understand where someone is coming from and who they are today by looking at things that happen in their childhood...it shapes alot of who you are I think.

Also I know lots of people wouldn't care to read about this but I'd be pretty interested in how he became a JW. I'd be curious to know why he feels that is the right choice for him. I know absloutly nothing about the religion so I really can't judge his decision. Maybe if he wrote about it and explained how it has made him a better person his fans wouldn't be so against it.

Then I'd like him to write about Denise Matthews and their friendship...cuz I think she is cool and hot! razz

i think it would be great for him to write his own story.
But as with the other people who have mentioned it he would never tell the truth.
Fuck the funk - it's time to ditch the worn-out Vegas horns fills, pick up the geee-tar and finally ROCK THE MUTHA-FUCKER!! He hinted at this on Chaos, now it's time to step up and fully DELIVER!!
woot!

I can't see him writing a tell all book. He'd probably only tell us the things we already know anyway. Why pay for that when I can just come to the org and find out? razz

Wouldn't happen because Prince would have a representitive at each selling store, and each buyer of the book would first have to sign a confidentiality agreement.

I'd pay the normal amount for a book. If he were pulling no punches I'd like to hear about his reationships with his half brother Duane, his mom, and his various bands.

I'd like to know what he envisioned for himself when he first got into the music business.

I'd like to read about what his biggest thrill and what has disappointed him the most about the music business.

The main things I am nosey about.

1. Did he cheat on Mayte with the current missus.
2. Everything that went on between himself and his dad.
3. Did he really "steal" people's music and claim it as his own.
4. Did he ever do drugs.

If I could get a guarantee of some kind that would prove that he wasn't lying I would buy it,

I would pay (it would have to have more pages than friggin Harry Potter) about 50-60 buck for self-written grade-A poop.If it was straight up truth.

One thing, I feel I must say, you all who truly assume that Prince could ever write a truthful "tell-all" book, mistakenly assume Prince could truly judge the reality of the events that unfold around him.

Wishful thinking, but that just isn't going to happen, doubt that seriously since he's so private about his personal life.
