I read Possessed last night

Cover to cover. What a waste of £16. Most of it was lifted from DMSR and there were loads of factual mistakes. I wouldn't trust that book as far as I could burn it.

However it left me with this thought. Prince may behave the way he does because of his unresolved issues from childhood. The only difference between him and me is that he got to play it out on a world stage and was scrutinised for it, while I didn't.

Yes, and that if YOU behaved like he has, you'd be sent to some kinda psychiatric institution for treatment while Prince is allowed to roam free.

the only reason i bought that album is becuz it's Prince ReLated otherwise u'r right it makes P look like an Ass & i don't like that...


a little here about P's History & a little there but what i want 2 know is the INSPIRATION of where this or that song came from... that's the reason i bought it & then u read something here& it turns u'r stomach.

DMSR is a "way" better book & reading... now if he only made a part 2...
Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

~* The only love there is, is the love "we" make *~

It was the first time I had stepped inside White Hart Lane for 2 years. I left 15 minutes before the end. I saw Jamie Redknapp and Robbie Keane in the street today. I should've given Redknapp a bollocking for his atrocious display on Saturday. Instead I wished them good luck for the coming season, 'cos they're going to need it!

Well, some of his relatives have been in mental hospitals but, if you have money your not going to go to the funny factory.

What he should do is spend more time with a shrink and less time with the JW's

I thought the book was better than DMSR. If they used the same research, Per Nilson didn't mine it properly. There were some great stories in there and Per obvioulsly didn't do any research after 1988 because DMSR stops there. If they used the same research, then whoever did the research is amazing because they did enough for 4 or more books (I'd include Days of Wild and Turn It Up as well). Now someone get Per Nilsom to write about the 90s.
