see i think he was a womanizer but i'm n ot sure if he had all these women on a string. if he sang about treating woman with respect and empowerment for women then why was he doing the opposite in real life?

Throwing a few facts together doesn't make it the truth. Hahn painted a picture, not a portrait of Prince but a characiture-- and a poor one at that. The fact that the book hasn't changed anybody's perspective on the man speaks of its value or lack thereof.

Most of us knew he could be a prick but we also know that there's a good side to him. The man Hahn gave us wouldn't be capable of making Lovesexy, Adore, etc.


Yeah - what he said! big grin

I spent some time composing a reply regarding this thread and my original post - but then scrapped it, cuz at the end of the day this whole thing just aint important in the scheme of things.

Its relative how any post is read on the org from one person 2 another. The fact this is the 1st truly negative response Ive ever had on here speaks enough. THAT arrogant enough 4 ya Vivid? I have 2 say though it was interesting 2 see the way this thread went once the ball was rolling... lots of barbs and jibes aimed my way. So I think if nothing else, u more than should feel vindicated now.

Anyway, sorry if u were offended Brobyn - no offense was meant.

It wasn't a personal attack. But if it had been, is that really all it takes 2 offend u? Surely not.

Unlike some gimps on here...

Vivid: whatever...

Dude, okay look, my patience is gone and let me be blunt. All you have to do is either respond to the thread with something related to the topic. It is just that simple. You go on to talk about how its an old issue..blah blah blah...if you are as reasonable as you would have us believe, then you would have just overloked the thread and let those that had something to contribute, contribute.

Loved the book, but was saddened by it. Prince has really wasted his life. I think about the parts where Prince goes to all these great countries, but sticks to hanging out in clubs. Why not see some sights? Walk in the woods? Prince has turned into a sad man.

I agree. I hear he is doing more of that now, but I think it speaks to his youthful immaturity at that time. He had many opportunities to do many more good things then he did, but squandered it...

Interesting how your reply got snipped however...

I said my peace, and reiterated my thoughts on the subject matter of this thread.

r u gay ? , u seem 2 b quite concerned ! about p's bedroom antics.

in my opinion , he's simply a mad shagger ! and thats a great pastime !


I am concerened about his bedroom antics, no, I am not gay amd I doesnt matter to me if someone is or is not.thanks or asking and what is a "madshagger"...
Where I grew up, Prince's sexuality was a big question and the book shed some suprising light on that issue and it wasnt what I expected...Soo no need to make it personal and involve my lifestyle in the question, but thanks for your atempt to respond to the question, I think wave


u twice mentioned that the book didnt relate 2 any gay references linking prince and gay's, i thought u seemed 2 b dissapointed the book didnt discuss if he might b gay. so its ok for u 2 ask the question "is prince gay " , but u take offence if a fellow orger asks u the same question.i dont care who is or isnt gay but u my friend brought this up and u asked the question.

in the uk a mad shagger is a womaniser !

i wasnt having a go , just asking the same question u were implying about prince !

If he has sadly wasted his life, how does that reflect on
the person who frequents a website dedicated to so-and-so's
sad, wasted life?

Think.
It ain't illegal yet.

You state above that these are 'obvious hostilities' by the author against Prince.

All of the above are widely purported to be true (given the column inches he has recieved over the years, I am not shocked by anything in AleX's book - it was nothing new - just a NEW book).

Besides, not to mention that this is old news - so how does that make AleX have personal predjudices against Prince?


It isn't bound to be true just because it is in newspapers or books. Personally i believe a lot of it, but that is just from what i have seen and heard of prince i can actually believe that he would do some of the things. I think the anti gay thing is part and parcel with the whole JW thing. He has come along way from his 1988 beliefs, love god and that is all that matters black/white/straight/gay!! I think Prince is a unhappy person trying on different skins to see which one fits him best. I must admit when i saw him at the One Nite Alone tour he did seem the happiest i have seen him. But knowing him it won't last long and he'll become a budhist.

I wish he would authorise a biography and let someone who is not connected in anyway live with him for a year and do loads of interviews. Then we might get a good insight. I have not read possessed, I have it on order but some of the other stuff i have oredered is out of stock so i need to wait about 6 weeks b4 it arrives.
It were proper bo I tell the!! Bo Selecta!

Some good points indeed. I agree that it seems that with all of his success, much of the time he has been unhappy. I'm glad you ordered the book because in my opinion it is worth at least a read. Its funny, because you and I both know that the only way Prince would authorise a bio would be for him to have 100% control of the content. Therefore we would probably never get a 100% accurate account. Thanks for your response. Thanks for your coolness thumbs up!

You know thats a good point as well. I have not put much thought in that point. He made a lot of great music when he was hanging with his childhood friends like Ande Cymone, Morris Day, and Brena From Vanity 6. Even when Wendy & Lisa came into the picture, he was supposedly more grounded, having bar-b-que's and softball games at his home. It seems that the more he distanced himself from normal activities, the more he became abstract and less understood hmmm
