The book made it into the top ten during a sluggish economy not so bad and I am sure P cashed his check.

Do you agree that "21 Nights" was a colossal flop along the lines of the Graffiti bridge movie and NewPowerSoul and 1999 the New master.

I mean seriously, the book was an overpriced vanity staement, I thought it would be a quality volume with a biography and career shots, not a kiss off of Prince in mostly sexual and provocative poses with his latest sex kitten. It was too abstract to be true.
Its already been reduced to $14.99 clearance here and no one is really talking about it anymore (Has Lotusflow3rs been drip fed as excuse to move our focus off this book), seriously we all hyped it for ages here and then everyone myself too, were to proud to admit it was a self indulgent vanity statement.

Do you agree that 21 Nights is equivalent to Graffiti Bridge as a self indulgent flop or worse?

My copy just sits there collecting dust now, its tragic

What were you expecting from a picture book of Prince?
I bought it for $35 bucks and got exactly what I expected: pictures of Prince in different poses, poems(lyrics) next to the photos, and the accompanying live cd. I would have liked more concert shots, but oh well.

I kinda liked it. It has a cool look about it. It's a nice coffee-table book.

A book couldn't possibly top the failure of the movie Graffiti Bridge
