Описание: The real Prince in the words of those who knew him best--from award-winning author Tourй. "...one of the rare oral histories I'd recommend as an introduction to its subject. The author's interview skills and his trusted status in the Prince orbit mean that his book--based on decades of interviews--is full of revealing insights into Prince's life and work."--Jay Gabler, The CurrentNothing Compares 2U is an oral history built from years of interviews with dozens of people who were in Prince's inner circle--from childhood friends to band members to girlfriends to managers to engineers to photographers, and more--all providing unique insights into the man and the musician. This revelatory book is a deeply personal and candid discussion of who Prince really was emotionally, professionally, and romantically. It tackles subjects never-before-discussed, including Prince's multiple personalities, his romantic relationships, his traumatic childhood and how it propelled him into his music career, and how he found the inspiration for some of his most important songs, including "Purple Rain," "Starfish and Coffee," and the unheard "Wally." Nothing Compares 2 U paints the most complete picture yet written of the most important and most mysterious artist of his time.

Curious, charming, determined and inspirational-that's Mary.
She's bright, sociable, and always on the move. This book of beautifully rendered cartoons depicts her wit, wisdom, and sarcasm. Mary is fun and will make you smile when you experience her teasing spirit. She assures her son she'll be fine tackling stairs to a restaurant "as long as the railing doesn't fall." When her daughter schedules bird watching, she muses, "What if they don't come?" Whether visiting West Africa, encountering the police, or hanging on for dear life when being backed down an incline in a wheelchair, she never loses her spirit for adventure and always keeps her beloved grandchildren in her thoughts and prayers. Mary is the people you know who keep going, whatever the challenge. And what better way to share her wit and wisdom than in skillfully drawn illustrations that are faithful to Mary's persona.
Автор: Toure Название: I Would Die 4 U: Why Prince Became an Icon ISBN: 1476737401 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781476737409 Издательство: Simon & Schuster Рейтинг: Цена: 17650.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: An expansive and insightful exploration of one of the most iconic and electrifying artists ever, this book reveals the stunning, multi-generational influence and appeal of Prince and his revered music--from celebrated journalist, author, and host of the popular podcast TheTour Show. Infused with Tour 's unique pop-culture fluency, I Would Die 4 U is as passionate and radical as its subject matter. Building on his lifelong admiration for Prince's oeuvre and interviews with those closest to the late artist, including band members, his tour manager, and music and Bible scholars, Tour deconstructs the life and work of the enigmatic icon who has been both a reflective mirror of and inspirational force for America. By defying traditional categories of race, gender, and sexuality, but also presenting a very conventional conception of religion and God, Prince was a man of profound contradictions. He spoke in the language of 60s pop and soul to a generation fearing Cold War apocalypse and the crack and AIDS epidemic, while simultaneously being both an MTV megastar and a religious evangelist. He creatively blended his songs with images of sex and profanity to invite us into a musical conversation about the healing power of God and religion. By demystifying Prince as a man, an artist, and a cultural force, I Would Die 4 U shows us how he impacted and defined a generation.
