Reviews
I was on the verge of believing I'd read everything there was to know about Prince, when along comes Prince on Prince. This book is a must-read for anyone who wants to learn more about a man who was an enigma to both friends and fans. --Laura Tiebert, coauthor of The Rise of Prince: 1958-1988 Prince was not only an incredible, gifted music maker. What this book shows is that his interviews were also performances. Lizie has assembled a wide range of material, including encounters from press conferences, websites, and radio shows. As the archive shows, in the face of an ongoing barrage of sometimes bizarre, sometimes banal, and sometimes poignant questions, Prince didn't always tell the truth--though there were times where, palpably, he did. After finishing this book, I felt I'd gotten to know one of popular music's most forward-thinking contributors much better. --Dr. Mark Duffett, Associate Professor of Music, Media, and Performance, University of Chester
"""A collection of intriguing, frustrating, incisive interviews and insights into Prince's remarkable career.""--Genevieve Williams, Library Jounrnal ""This book is in some ways the closest you will get to sitting down and talking with Prince. A must-have for anyone who wants to learn more about this one-of-a-kind, spectacular, creative force of nature, the likes of which we have never seen or heard before and never will again."" --Jeff Munson, former Paisley Park staff and art director ""Prince on Prince provides the reader with a fascinating collection of interviews from every stage of Prince's prolific career. Thoughtfully selected, they provide deep insight into one of the most influential artists of our time. Both longtime fans and those new to his work will find a new understanding of a complex persona."" --Dr. Kirsty Fairclough, coeditor of Prince and Popular Music ""I was on the verge of believing I'd read everything there was to know about Prince, when along comes Prince on Prince.
