More info on Alex Hahn's upcoming book And you can find all of it here:
http://pr1nc3.com/news/bo...sessed.asp I'd post it in the news section but that doesn't get updated at all anymore so... There's a new interview, a new review and the world exclusive premiere of the official website for the book. That and much, much more -- well, actually, just about anything I could find about the book, including links to several online retailers and a site where you can compare some of them (and no, I don't get any kickbacks from them). BTW The book should become available aroudn this time, so if you've ordered through Amazon expect something in the very near future. © Bart Van Hemelen

Bart... what's in this for you? Why do you keep ramming this book down our throats? Me, I can't wait to read it either but I don't act like a posterboy for mr. Hahn? Have you even read it yourself or do you just get excited at the thought of a book describing Prince as the fucked-up MJ-style, moneyloving recluse that you claim he is? | |

no, Marty. i think he only posted it so he could get in a swipe at the moderators for not updating the news section as often as they used to, even though there really isn't much in the way of news lately -- even this is an old item, and has appeared in the news section several times. just how many times can this book be in the "news" section before it's not news anymore? | |

--- What about Bart's own website. It's been "under construction" for duckin' ages. Pot and kettle anyone? | |

I just phoned my local WH Smith in North London and they haven't got it. Anybody got the phone number of Borders in the West End? I can't find it on their website. | |

It's probably really hard to understand but some people like being informed. And with that page I try to keep people as informed as possible on this one particular subject, especially since the average Prince fan seems unable to cope with using a search engine. In fact, I've seen people on here asking Alex some of the dumbest questions imaginable -- dumb, because he'd already answered them at length. (Of course, if you point this out, then you are some patronising bitch.) So instead of bitching about getting this information, how about appreciating that there are still people like me who don't try to keep stuff inside a small circle of "in the know" people, but instead choose to inform as many as possible. © Bart Van Hemelen

1. The admins themselves have admitted to me that the news system is a mess right now. 2. The reason that you don't see much posted in the news section is probably because it barely gets updated. 3. That the book is being shipped from today IS news, so is the new interview, so is the new review. 4. Part of the reason for that page on my site is to offer people ways of obtaining the book, either via onlien retailers or via regular shops. It is also intended to have all the information in one central place, so you don't need to search the news archives for the relevant information, all you need to do is remember one address. I must be doing a good job, considering that if you search for "alex hahn possessed prince" via Google the second link is mine (the first one is to amazon, who have a special relation with Google). © Bart Van Hemelen

I haven't read it. I'm not promoting it, all I do is provide INFORMATION. And I would do just the same if someone were to publish a "positive" book. © Bart Van Hemelen

Yeah, Bart, Per's going to be really jealous now that you're kissing another biographer's ass... | |

Somehow I don't believe this... And anyway... when ONA Live was released I didn't see any retail adresses or links on your website enabling people to get their hands on this album. Loads of people were hungry for news like that... yet you didn't provide it... Could it be because YOU didn't care for the album?

hey give the guy a break, the news updates on here are crap and all Barts doing is just giving info, whatever you think about him as a person or his views his news bits and pieces and links have always been valuable. | |

All info coming from BvH has a negative edge to it. You don't see him posting links to raving reviews do you? He hasn't posted to the Org for ages and all of a sudden he's plugging a new book which supposedly rips the Prince-myth to shreds. Coincidence...?

He may not have posted on the Org much lately, but I've seen him on AMP here and there. I'm appreciative of him informing folks of stuff (I surely don't feel like being bothered to do it), mainly because I didn't know this book was ready to ship, and I just ordered mine yesterday! | |
