Ben Greenman's book on Prince

I don't really keep track of all the books about Prince that are coming out lately, but this one has been translated into Dutch, which means that I see it in every bookstore.
Who here has read it? What's it like? Does it tell us anything new?

I really liked this one. Greenman is close to me in age and in the timing of his Prince fandom. I agreed and enjoyed far more of what he had to say about Prince's career than most authors.

Don't hate your neighbors. Hate the media that tells you to hate your neighbors.

The Dutch language version is slightly unfortunate though. Dutch translations of song titles (!) are used as titles for chapters of the book. Example "Het leven kan zo leuk zijn"

lol

Overall result: Like nails on a chalkboard...
