I went to a used record store to look for audio cassettes to mess with since that's a thing I'm doing now, and I accidentally found where the image for the "It's Always Morally Correct" meme came from.

In private, you couldn't shut Prince up. But in public...You know, it became a thing about mystique.

Lyrics:

Once is never enough

Never is never was

Here and now is all that counts

Here and now in large amounts

Be beautiful but shut up

The going can be real tough

You can keep your fancy bars

Clubby friends and fast cars

And when the going gets hard

You can eat your credit cards

I really tried to fight it

But what the hell I like it

There is always room at the top

Don't let them tell you there is not

Made in England born and bred

An eighteenth century brain

In a twenty-first century head

Room at the top - so eighteenth century

Room at the top - so eighteenth century

Room at the top

There's always room

Songwriter:

If some of this fits you

Or like the things that you might do

It's the pleasure and the pain

That makes us do it all again

They say

Be beautiful and shut up

The going can be real tough

Prince was 19 years old.

It is called Loring Park Sessions ’77, a series of free recording sessions in the studio of Loring Park (Minneapolis) owned by Owen Husney, Prince’s first manager. Eight tracks, all instrumental and untitled, realized with the participation of bassist Andre’ Cymone and drummer Bobby Z, who will soon become members of Prince’s first band.

Being familiar with BrownMark I immediately requested the ARC of My Life in the Purple Kingdom from NetGalley. I received this copy in exchange for an honest review with no promise of writing a positive one.

This is the story of another person from Prince's bizarre court. Mark Brown was a young naive musician who became enthralled with an individual he viewed as a musical genius. Once he discovered his love for the guitar it compelled him to not only master the instrument but to pursue a career in a city where venues were primarily segregated.

After being taking through a strange audition Mark replaced Andre' Cymone as the bass guitarist in Prince's band. He is then renamed BrownMark and subjected to physical, financial, and psychogical abuse by a man that he still considers a brother.

It's amazing to me that there is another account in the world detailing the bizarre behavior of someone who was clearly an insecure narcissist who only cared about making money. I really loved the details about Mark's childhood and family life. I admire his ability to forgive Prince for his irreprehensible behavior. Mostly I am impressed at the fact that he learned from his mistakes and went on to establish a career in spite of being cast into the shadows.
