Prince's own words

Wouldn't be nice if he wrote an autobiography?
Of course, it would have to be in English and not Princely Lit! lol
I already have the other books written about him, I would like to hear it from HIM directly.

PRINCE PLEASE WRITE AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY. I want to hear what u have 2 say. eye heart u Prince. U r an angel

Nope.His Music does the talking for Him.He isn't that Interesting in terms of saying anything really IMHO.He is too Structured of a Cat to Shed any light on anything.the best Book Prince could have on Him would be by a Outside Source.to be honest there are very few Music Artists Books that Interesting&Very Few Ever Come Clean&Prince wouldn't ever dare go into His Musical Details.for instance He was on the Cover of Bass Magazine,Drum magazine,Keyboard Magazine,Guitar Magazine&aside from a couple of things he didn't really say much.He is a Better Read for Me through someone else's Perspective overall IMHO.

I always said HE should have written an unauthorized biography on Prince when he became "symbol".

This way he could've denounced anything at a later time since it was "unauthorized".

I'm sure the editor would have a field day with all the princebonics. Could you imagine the strain on someones eyes having to see all those stupid symbols page after page?

How would you like this if it was said about u? U wouldn't because you would like to speak for urself and wouldn't want someone u never met 2 go by what someone else has said about u. It would be retarded and narrowminded for the person not 2 want 2 hear yo side. disbelief

With his personality, I can't imagine him putting out a book & having to promote it. Seems like it would be hell for him.

You know I think Prince should write a book. It doesn't have to tell all if he doesn't want to but it would be cool to truly hear about his experiences in the music business and maybe to let us get more in touch or in tune with his Feelings. You know maybe the Iron Mask can be Dropped and Feelings could truly be Shown. Wouldn't it be totally human of Prince to let us someday see his Tears? Wouldn't That be a Treat? What would you give to Comfort him? I would give everything. I would give my all.

Prince is too private to be interested in writing an autobiography for the world. Frankly, I don't blame him.

no no no! mistermaxx
Prince has done interesting interviews!!
What about the one when he wouldn't speak at all and his face was covered and he was whispering everything in MAYTE's ear for her to speak the answer?? I thought that was nuts and entertaining.
AND...what about when he was on Rosie O'Donnell promoting his EMANCIPATION album and Rosie called him Taffy??? He kept saying "Goodnite!!". It showed that he had a sense of humor after all for those who think that he's just a weird fruity guy!!
Come on mistermaxx! Give the man a chance! nana

I believe that mistermaxxx is entitled to his opinion and you should respect it!

But ya know?? I totaly agree wit ya about the Mayte/Veronica Webb interview lol that bitch got some serious beat down from Prince/Mayte/NPG. I haven't seen the Rosie interview tho,,,

and YES I do agree that he should put a book not only about his music but about HIS life. I think the brotha is very intersting and he sho nuff lived one intersting life.

BTW he don't have to write the book alone. Remember Tina Turner's "I, Tina" the later (Whats love got to do with it)-movie?? It was co-written with someone else along with Tina. Prince should def do that!

If I were him I wouldn't. He would get ripped to shreads as usual. Everyone deserves privacy. I wouldn't expect my neighbours to tell me their secrets when I haven't formed a bond with them! That's like stealing from them without their permission.

No. No book. Just plently of good music and some nudey shots will do me. smile

I don't think we could trust that he'd tell the truth. He likes to play games, and he may only write an autobiography to steer us away from believing something that was true.

On the otherhand, if he wrote a book about music composition, performing, or lyric writing, then I'd be interested.

One of my favorite reads (still ongoing) is the Beatles Anthology book. I would love something like this for Prince, although clearly the context and story is very different. Can you imagine all his previous band members contributing, and him contributing with interviews and quotes from the time as well as from a historical perspective.

Not now, of course, but several years down the line, when he's 64 or so...

Now Somebody that is speaking my Language.let Him only talk about Music Making.anything else is Highly Suspect Coming from Him IMHO.Kurt Louder Wrote Tina Turner's Book with her.MTV News Worker&sometimes VJ.He likes Prince but not as much as He use to.the only way Prince could surprise me in a Interview is if He shed light on Andre Cymone,Pepe Willie,Dez Dickerson,Wendy&Lisa,David Z,Sonny Thompson&how much they Helped with His overall Vibe&Sound?now that would be worth a Reading.but To Read Him just make minor References about everybody would be Boring.unless He says something interesting about the Folks that He Worked with&goes into Detail about there Contributions such as Morris Day Writing "Party Up" for Him&Why He wanted it on "Dirty Mind"&Whatnot then I don't think It would be Interesting.I happen to Agree with something Ingrid Chavez once said about Prince in Details Magazine Years ago or a magazine similar to it: as a Musician Prince is a Genius, as a Person He is fairly just there.when I read a Jimi Hendrix Book,Miles Davis Book,Duke Ellington, those were some trip out books.but truth be told most Entertainers aren't that interesting outside of what they do IMHO&usually don't make Good Reads for BIO's either.

Remember Jasziah...he's changed.rolleyes
Playing games would be resorting back to his old ways and he always reminds us:
"CHANGE IS GOOD, NO?"
So this may not happen although it is a possibility.
