Your right Tony, Rick says that Eddie didn't get high like the rest of them did. But he did say that Eddie would ask an awful lot of question about how it felt to be high

TonyVanDam said:

All you gotta do is read the "thank yous" in the liner notes to albums like 'Street Songs' and 'Throwin' Down' He thanks Robin Williams,Teddy Pendergrass,Grace Slick and numerous other celebrities,lol.

Abdul said:

Yeah,I heard about that That was fucked up for Prince to behave that way.If he had problems with Rick,that's one thing,but why did he have to disrespect Rick's mother?

SoulAlive said:

You heard me right Grace Slick, you heard me right.

Oh yeah, I went to Borders, Books and Books, and Barnes and Noble yesterday, and nooobody had this damn book.

Harlepolis said:

I don't wanna wait six weeks,so I went to Rick's official site and it looks like they will ship it out even sooner ("express shipping" which costs extra,I assume)

SoulAlive said:

Amazon.com has three different shipping options. You can get it really fast for a little extra $.

I have a guy friend that insist Rick was gay or bisexual. Has anyone heard this?

Oh man, if Rick had done Purple Rain, here it is, bad acting, the oops I fucked up with a "baby I'm a star" recovery:

Yea, he 'n' his girlfriend kidnapped a girl and used her as their sex slave. If that isn't gay, I don't know what is!

Oh please Rick loved women.If he was gay,he certainly did a great job hiding it,lol.

SoulAlive said:

Loved with a capital L.

it's strange
the gossip is so tragic
they call me a faggot
and me and all my women laugh at that

SoulAlive said:

I've always wondered if Rick was Prince's scorned ex-lover.

I have to get this book. What's Oprah waiting for? This should be on her Book of the Month list.

uPtoWnNY said:

I can see the audience's reaction

uPtoWnNY said:

I have a feeling that Oprah would never endorse/support/promote a book like this but it's sad that Rick isn't around to promote it himself.It would be fun seeing him on the talkshows,discussing it.He had an incredible sense of humor.

So..... Did any of ya'll get a copy yet?

Last week I attended the funeral of a relative in Buffalo, NY. At the cemetery - Forest Lawn Cemetery - about 20 feet away from the final resting place is Rick James' grave. Now, I'm no connoisseur of tombstones, but it is beautiful.

Discovering that his grave was so close by added some levity to the otherwise sad proceedings, as we figured the deceased's spirit definitely wouldn't be bored, with Rick James close by
