We all interpret Prince so differently, even from how Prince interprets and explains himself, his life, his upbringing. what's good is one of prince's scrapbooks from when he was 19 & of course loads of other pictures of prince who would honestly look hot in a burlap sack rapidly rolling down the side of a mountain. Towards the end of his life, he began to be very introspective and this was very apparent during his last tour, Piano & A Microphone. It’s hard to even use the word book because none of the pages are completely filled with writing. #2) Dan Piepenbring - the introductory essay was fantastic.
The Beautiful Ones is the story of how Prince became Prince--a first-person account of a kid absorbing the world around him and then creating a persona, an artistic vision, and a life, before the hits and fame that would come to define him. You could feel how personal Prince can be for people.
It’s not his memoir. I got the audiobook cause I thought it was going down but NOPE. Picture and memorabilia book. This is a biography written by Dan Piepenbring. After I struggled through those pages, the very next section is all of that typed out legibly. I just couldn't shake the feeling that Prince, who was such a perfectionist, would not have been happy with this being released unfinished. Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder might be a couple of his only rivals(though personally I put Prince above them both in musicianship, and neither compare to him as a pure entertainer).#1) this book is physically GORGEOUS. Yall just gathered scraps from various parts of his life and pasted them in a book. And those that are have huge lettering in the first sentence that takes up nearly half the page. The rest of the book features handwritten song lyrics from some of his early songs in the 70s and 80s and quotes from magazine interviews he did and lots of photos; many of them never-before-seen from the 70s and early 80s. So basically you printed the same shit twice to take up more space. I listened to the audio version (as I always do), and it was only three hours long. His work. Inquiring minds want to know!You can't knock stars off it for being incomplete. Esperanza Spalding read the book and while I THOROUGHLY enjoy her music, she can’t read a damn thing to me. what's good is one of prince's scrapbooks from when he was 19 & of course loads of other pictures of prince who would honestly look hot in a burlap sack rapidly rolling down the side of a mountain. I'll say, 'Think about what you're saying. I absolutely loved the anecdotal stories he told of his youth. But unfortunately it is a huge disappointment and like a slap in Prince’s face as well as a slap to all his fans who were really expecting a memoir. I do think it's c.I'm rating this as a coffee table book, not a biography or autobiography. The pictures and paraphernalia in the book was acquired after his death. If this had been completed prior to Prince’s untimely death, it could’ve been brilliant.
Prince talks about being an alpha creatively, knowing what he wanted, and I'm guessing this book would make the Purple One puke. Inimitable and multi-talented. It’s partly that. The information within these pages were not approved by, nor provided by Prince for the purpose of producing this book. I think this is especially true of his father. The book is told in four parts. Prince did not write these details to be published in this way.
The book is very thin and disjointed on the biographical details. It means he would still be here for us.It's enjoyable for how much (or little) there is. It’s a stunning package, but a difficult proposition. It should have been a feature story in Rolling Stone or any number of literary journals.
