Prins “The Beautiful Ones” – Skizzen eines Lebens – Rolling Stone

„This is the view from my own life“, wrote Prince under a photo, „as my first album with a photo.” In July 1977, the new visitors from Minneapolis, who can see the images on the image, have a long view at the Sheraton -Hotel in Los Angeles. Für seinen schwarzen Humor war der Musiker can be used. Here, in German, it is true that when the flat company is replaced 19 years later, the ghost is a fact. Der Kampf is an autonomy that offers its Künstlerdasein-prägen.

These and other motifs are combined in “The Beautiful Ones”, a life report composed entirely of fragments. Prince starb for the Fertigstellung Seiner Autobiografie – started his work in February 2016, continued for two months with his Tod. The publication and author of Dan Piepenbring (the prince could not – the 29-year-old journalist was waiting for a fan letter on the job on a page) would be a merit. Das Ergebnis besteht aus vier Teilen: een Einleitung von Adlatus Piepenbring; Prince’s Memoirs, based on 28 handwritten pages about your childhood and youth; A photo and ski trip from the private collection contains song lyrics and the Drehbuchentwurf of “Purple Rain”.

“The Beautiful Ones”: shrill, completely unbelievable

It’s also a bit, what can be another way of life, shrill, after an unreliable book has become. Who is an insightful reader. Prince war, a shy Ironiker, a cleverer Commentator – not a Geschichtenerzähler. Seine Oneliner was legendary, aber for ausdauernde, sinnstiftende analyzes and war is not possible. Prins is kept at a distance, after Bauchgefühl, carries out long-term projects. There is a war with Intuities-Künstler.

The Erinnerungen are the well-known brands. It is worth letting the passengers fly while looking at the cartoon character Superman, the beauty of mumbling in front of the make-up mirror or the first kiss – all that is provided for jokes at your own expense. Prince doesn’t play cinematic skis in high school spin-off moments and playing movies isn’t in his style – “who’s a John-Hughes movie”.

Aber ausgerechnet die Beschreibungen seiner Music sind unbeholfen. Über “Do Me, Baby” says per Fußnote: “With that Song habe ich die R&B-Balladenform für die Achtziger actualisiert.” “Balladenform” – “actualisiert”? First erotic ideas about what it is like are abstract as “Geburt der physical fantasy”. Vielleicht auch Ergebnis einer schwachen Übersetzung.

Now that Prince seine Memoiren nicht editieren können, der Verlag transkribierte Notizen. When Dan Piepenbring writes, Prince planted “The Beautiful Ones” not as an autobiography, but also as a book, “that all our lives changed”. There is a work that takes place, “das den Rassismus aus der Welt schafft”. There is a thought that African Americans can do their work with a miserable stipulation, a black one for flat companies.

The essence of the book is a personal touch to the packaging

Chronologically speaking, the Prince could not be there Kapitel nicht more kommen – de Einflussnahmen seines Labels, hinter danen is Rassismus vermutete, setzten after “Purple Rain” 1984 ein. Your personal involvement in your Zeit, your Gedanken zum Rassismus is nahm er met ins Grab.

“The Beautiful Ones” carried an aura of the Uner-gründlichen, the Prince. Piepenbring’s Sorge, an autobiography of the mystery of the artists, could not be more natural. While the first representations of the song lyrics, the duration and the long term, are erscheinen with the Feder geschwungen statt with the linear arretiert. Bei Prince wurden Zettel zu fellfarbigen Artworks.

A surreal world is for Prince for a while. The essence of the book is a personal touch to the packaging. The photo with the front is not visible to the authorities – it is an unused cover motif for the album “Parade”.

Oh Prince.
