Last time I checked, Amazon.com also listed the release date as September.
I checked it again now, and the release date has now been changed to May 1 and the book seems to be available.

I'm taking a plane in a few weeks,so I need a good book to read.This will suffice.

Flow said:

I doubt he'll admit what he did.

The pics of the second women he beat are pretty horrific. I can't see a man that arrogant confessing all.

I got my copy off Rick's website, I'm half way through it and as I expected it's an interesting read so far.

SoulAlive said:

Me too. I've been waiting for this for awile now. I hope it's a good read. I know Rick had a serious story to tell.

Abdul said:

Any juicy details?? Come on...tell us more!!

SoulAlive said:

LOL SoulAlive.....


The real juice I've read so far is.....


Teena Marie had a thing for woman back in the day

Rick got physical with Prince at Rick's Birthday party, grabbing him by the back of his head and forcing him to drink some liquor.

Rick admitting he got jealous of P's success after P blew up


I'm up to the chapter intitled THROWIN DOWN

Abdul said:

WOW!!! I need this book now!!

Some more juice....


Rick said that Him and Jimmy Ruffin(Yeah David's brother), pimped some hoes for a short time back when Rick first came to Detroit in the 60's. He said it was to much work so he quit doin it, LOL!!!

Abdul said:

Rick was crazy!!

Several years ago,when Rick started writing this book,he was threatening to "expose" the celebrities who partied and got high with him....he said people are gonna be shocked when they find out who attended his parties.

anything else?

keep the oj coming

I think most Rick fans figured this one.....


Garden Of Love was Rick's FUCK YOU album to Motown, who he was mad at over what else, money.


Also....

Toward the end of the Fire It Up tour Rick and co. started working on the next album using a OBX synthesizer stolen from Prince. He said they returned it before he knew it was gone, LOL!!!

LMAO at this one....


Jim Morrison (yeah of The Doors), gave Rick his first drop of acid, telling him they were just mints, lol. He said he was so fucked up he couldn't see staright

Abdul said:

I already knew that about Teena. That's too bad that Rick says that he grabbed P by the head and forced him to drink. I don't believe that shit for a second. I know Rick was extremely jealous of P. Even BEFORE P blew up with PR. Rick I think, is saying what he would have liked to have done to P.

blackguitaristz said:

just like everyone else who has ever known him. That's exactly what the engineer from D & p said.

Hey blackguitaristz,

Did anyone of the people you have worked with from P's crew every talk about some of the things going on when P and Rick toured together.
On the old RickJames message board a guy named Pyro John told a lot of wild stories about that tour.

-P came into a promotional event with a switchblade and a bad attitude. Pryo John said P took out his blade and slashed his promotional pictures and then left the room. ( Who knew P carried a knife!!! )

I remember Andre Cymone saying in a interview that Rick pulled a gun on him once back stage but, the gun was really a stage prop.

It makes me wonder about Rick making P drink some liquor.

Two fucked up people wh only love themselves with major temper issue who knows what could of happened but prince would of been scared of fighting a man

"Currently unavailable"

This is pitiful, any other site where I can purchase the book and have it shipped in 24 hours?

Harlepolis said:

Oh? Dayum... Good thing I ordered mine in a hurry.Looks like they sold like hot cakes.

laurarichardson said:

Nah,.. it was never discussed about Rick and P on tour together.

laurarichardson said:

That story of Prince caughting Pyro with Gayle is abit spooky(the way Prince stomped his heel and screamed ).

He sure got some madhouse/wall-2-wall stories to fill a bestseller

Harlepolis said:

PyroJohn came off a little homophobic so, I don't know about the screming part. The heel stomping I could see and it would not surprise me if he was not trying to get with Gayle.

He does not have to fight he had knife. Anywhy Jellybean Johnson already said P and Morris were fighting on the PR set and he said P hit Morris right back after he got decked. I would never underestimate any dude when it comes to self-defense.
