So i just listened to a snippet of the interview from Esther regarding the book and to me his memoir sounds like more of a geneology book than a memoir. She said the book is about "his family" | |

Your welcome 💜💜 so basically folks shouldn't expect an in depth book, sounds more like a genealogical book I got the impression that the 50 pages Prince wrote were about his family not that the entire book would be about that. But if he was writing about his family I think that would be very interesting as it’s not something he talked a lot about. Paisley Park is in your heart

That would make sense.He may have intended for the book to begin with his family's history. | |

Prince is a towering figure in global culture and his music has been the soundtrack for untold numbers of people—including me—for more than a generation; his creative genius has provided the musical landscape of our lives. Millions of words have been written about Prince—books and articles, essays and criticism—but we're thrilled to be publishing Prince's powerful reflections on his own life in his own incandescently vivid, witty, and poetic voice. It's described as "an unconventional and poetic journey through his life and creative work – from the family that shaped him and the people, places, and ideas that fired his creative imagination, to the stories behind the music that changed the world," in a press release.
On 3/18/2016 at a press conference in New York
, Prince announced the title of his memoir will be The Beautiful Ones (which is also the name of a Purple Rain track). He said it will span from his first memory to when he played the Super Bowl XLI halftime show in 2007.
03-18-2016 [Edited 4/11/18 15:04pm] "That mountain top situation is not really what it's all cracked up 2 B when was doing the Purple Rain tour had a lot of people who knew 'll never c again @ the concerts.just screamin n places they thought they was suppose 2 scream." | |

Thanks! I had forgotten that the press release said that the book would cover his life up until 2007. | |

Was always curious why he was only going to go up to the Super Bowl show in 2007. . The chances are it's full of cryptic mumbo jumbo but fingers crossed it gets published | |

It will be a great read, and ONLY if it is in PRINCE'S words!! "With love, honor, and respect for every living thing in the universe, separation ceases, and we all become one being, singing one song." - Prince Roger Nelson (1958-2016) | |

A good guestion. | |

"What people were saying about Sign 'O' the Times was, 'There are some great songs on it, and there are some experiments on it,'" Prince told Rolling Stone in 1990. "I hate the word 'experiment.' It sounds like something you didn't finish. Well, they have to understand that's the way to have a double record and make it interesting."
That's how I feel about this book. It's incomplete. | |

disch said: Dan Piepenbring was Prince's editor on this book; he wasn't the ghostwriter. Prince himself mentioned him when he announced the memoir: "“My brother Dan”—Dan Piepenbring of the Paris Review—“is helping with it. He’s a good critic. That’s what I need. Not a yes man.”
God-imagine Prince saying that! Quite a change of approach for him. | |
