75 5 of his life has been sheltered in the studio, recording, or onstage etc. It most defintietly wouldnt be a Keith Richards "Life" tale.

I agree, I just bought that book and so far its superlative. Keef pulls no punches and he is as funny as all fuck. I honestly did not know he had it in him.

Keith Richards is a god.

Any real Prince Fan will want to read his Autobiography or a biography which illustrates True information. I read several bios about Prince. The books were well written. However, I know better than to believe that All the info written is factual.

Any real Prince fan knows that Prince is the least believable source when it comes to facts about his life and career.

So I'd rather read a well-researched biography than a delusional, white-washed autobiography.

He is a Gemini. Mutable nature. One side is quiet, the other is extrovert. I like the Extroverted side of his personality!

He did say in "My Name is Prince" the following:

...."I got two sides and they're both friends

Don't try to clock'em, they're much too fast

If you try to stop 'em, they kick that ass

Without a pistol, without a gun, when you

hear my music you'll be havin fun

That's when I gottcha, That's when you mine".....

Dalia11,

Who said an auto/biography is not in the works?

His genius and legacy is being preserved.

That is what will happen when he gets to write sthat stuff.

Check the Miles Davis bios for a comparison.

Udo,

With all due respect, you are wrong.

It is being preserved.

Sure, but not by him.

See the books by others about him.

I would like to her stories from Mayte or Mani....

That is true! I just wanted to write a positive thread about Prince. This is a Fan Site!

so you just want gossip shit then eh?

I would like to here some gossip from Prince though. There is always two sides to a story. I will only believe his side, however. I am his fan, not a fan of the leeches, etc that were around him in the past. I mostly want to read about factual events of his life, music career, etc. As for the gossip part, many people that know and don't know him gossip about Prince. If they gossip about him - then he should gossip about them too. Tick for tack!

This si exactly what is wrong with 50% of the prince websites audience imo.

Im not worried about sides, who did what to whom (that Alan Leeds thinks he is so important for doing so etc) but if I were to interview Prince or have him write a book I would want to know the inspiration and muse process, the psychology of the effeminant stance contrasted with the staunch misogynistice and at times homophobic conservative beliefs ...to talk about the cajones or thought process that kead to actually giving head to his guitar (yes we junderstand getting tips form watching Rick James) but the head thing is HUGE! LOL...to know the rexording process of specific songs, how and why he decided to layers sounds on specidfic songs like JOR, what he thought about the rape scene in Lady Cab Driver and how he came to allow that etc etc. The Eltpon John influence, the Idolmaker influence, the wherewithall(sp) to remainb relatively healthy and clean in his heyday and how he was able to resist some tmeptations, the dichotomy iof hus risque ribald sexuality on wax and how he is reserved in person etc..those things. If he understands the reelvance of the black machismo in music compared to his presentation and what it means to have him still have been successful with the audience at large and what his hair..yes..his hair/process means in this context as well. How he was initially reprimanded by a certain few public black figures in the 80's (Chuck D 'all he did for us was give us his ass on a pillow', Fear Of Khan and Sharpton calling him and MJ 'sissified') but is now heralded by them. How his childhood of neglect (father emotionally abusive etc) has produced som psychological factors that have influenced his work and if he is aware of bipolar or borderline tendencies and speak on that etc

Fuck an issue with who was unfaithful, who got mad at who and left, who didnt get paid etc. Prince is an awesome CASE STUDY whereas if he was to allow a disseration etc with his first hand info, could be a pulitzer contender.

And ylou want to hear about 'gossip'??

Its to be expected since Prince catered his career/sang for "the bitches"

And there we have a glimpse of the psychohistoriography contained in A Gift of GOD.

Are you psychic, RD?

It seems to me that Prince did/does not have alot of people on his side. He only had people on his side when they wanted money, status in their career, etc. That is really Fucked Up. He knew that people were using him, Gemini is an intelligent sign. I wonder what his mother used to tell him about choosing friends, associations, etc?

That reminds me of his song, "Money Don't Matter 2 Night":

...... "He goes off and tries to find a partner but all

he finds are users (users)

All he finds are Snakes in Every Color

Every Nationality and Size"......

Prince writing his own autobiography? In reality, it won't happen. His dirt (for the most part) is kept hidden for a reason. He doesn't think it's any of our business.

There are many things he can write about that he experienced in life so far. Even if he leaves out the Dirt. If there is dirt? I do not care either way.

I wonder what Prince would argue. Perhabs that his body of work is (partly) autobiographic in itself already?

I don't see him writing a book about himself and really opening up.

I don't either.

In a way, if anyone really wants to get to know him, all you have to do is listen to his music, to be completely honest.

That is so true! I have been doing that since "Purple Rain" was out.

I listen to his songs over and over and over.

"Joy in Repitition" For Real!

Well, for starters "Autobiographies" are supposed to be a history of a person's life written or told by that person. There are tons of Prince biographies, so I would love a Prince autobiography. It would be all kinds of cryptic awesome.

True That!

Hi, Chasing

If you work for a big UK publisher, maybe you could get them to sign me up and I'll write a Prince biography. I have an idea for a book that tells the truth and I would speak to his close friends and associates, to deliver a product that tells the definitive Prince story (maybe they'll let me know how I can contact him as well, for official approval?)

'It is June 7th 1958, and a little boy is born into the world. In itself, this fact is unremarkable, except that the little boy would grow up to build an outstanding legacy that would change the music world forever.

His name? Prince Roger Nelson.

And this is his story...'

Sorry, but it's worth a shot

I work for a very big UK publisher, no news on any bio or autobio. We had the option of considering and publishing 21 Nights, but passed on it for various reasons, phew! feeling is P would want massive advance, and too much control, and prob wouldn't actually tell testy everyone really wants to read... And not considered it would sell that well. Is anyone THAT interested really, maybe... But at the moment not on the table.

Prince can write several books at one time. Geminis are multi-taskers! In addition to writing his autobiography he may write: about the music industry, he is psychic, his predictions for the future, and whatever else he wants to write about. The possibilities are ENDLESS.
