2. SOUNDBITE (English), Dan Piepenbring, biographer, on writing a book with Prince:
"My goal, rather than directing him or grilling him or taking a more conventional journalistic tack, was just to keep him speaking about whatever he wanted to. So our conversations had this very digressive, kind of discursive quality. And I think both of us vibrated really well on that wavelength. I think it was a very natural mode for us and I would imagine that would be the large part of it."

6. SOUNDBITE (English), Dan Piepenbring, biographer, on writing a book with Prince:
"I think he was really in the process of excavating his past with a level of detail and specificity that maybe he had avoided before. And I think he also saw that writing could really accompany his activist impulses. He was becoming a much more political man in his final years. He was very supportive of Black Lives Matter and quietly philanthropic. He would give large sums of money to various charities and helped women learn how to code—he was big in that. So I think he saw writing as another way to this budding set of interests that he had. And in addition to writing about his past, it could help him really connect with people and get them to create and get them to understand his approach to intellectual property and ownership and things like that."

8. SOUNDBITE (English), Dan Piepenbring, biographer, on worrying the book would not be finished:
"We all feared—my publisher, my editor and I—that that the book would never come to fruition. And that was very tragic for me, because having read those memoir pages, I wanted to do anything I could to show them to the world. I knew that Prince had taken such pride in them and I felt that they really showed a new side of him and gave you an inkling of this wonderful second act as an author that he could have and I think would have had. So I think from the start, we knew that we had to try at least to get those out there if we could."

11. SOUNDBITE (English), Dan Piepenbring, biographer, on being chosen to write the book:
"There's always a certain level of mischief to Prince and I remember once in Melbourne, we were talking and he said, 'You know, people are going to wonder why it's you. And when I say your name, they're gonna be like, "who is this guy?"' And he laughed at that—we both were kind of cracking up because I think the very notion of plucking an unknown or of working with someone who was pretty obscure just brought him a kind of delight. He liked throwing a wrench into the works of people's expectations about him. And I think choosing someone like me was another way to do that."

15. SOUNDBITE (English), Dan Piepenbring, biographer, on Prince wanting to avoid "white critical terms":
"In my first conversation with Prince, he made it very clear that he always wanted to resist what he called 'white critical terms.' And he pointed out that Miles Davis had held a distinction between the truth and "white bullshit." And I wanted to be sure that there was nothing of that sort in my introduction— that didn't really try to interpret him or offer a kind of obituary style summary of his life and his work, that that it was really as much about him and what he said as possible and that there would be no kind of summative critical language in it."

STORYLINE:
PRINCE'S ANTICIPATED, POSTHUMOUS MEMOIR IS READY FOR FANS
Panic, joy, shock: Dan Piepenbring felt them all when Prince plucked him to collaborate on his first memoir, followed by more shock and profound sadness at news of the superstar's death while the book was in its early stages.
Though the project was thrown into chaos when Prince died on April 21, 2016, of an accidental drug overdose, his estate ultimately decided to press on, allowing Piepenbring and his publishing team free access to the pieces of his life left behind at his beloved Paisley Park, including the contents of his vault.
Now, the highly anticipated collaboration, "The Beautiful Ones," is ready for Prince fans to read as many continue to mourn, propelling the 33-year-old journalist into the spotlight to explain how he sorted it all out.
"There was a sense even from the start that it couldn't really be happening," Piepenbring told The Associated Press of his involvement. "It felt very surreal. There was also just a sense of joy, I think, at the possibility of meeting someone that I held in such high regard, someone whose music had been the soundtrack to the better part of my youth."
The book out Tuesday from Random House includes no bombshells, though Prince very much wanted to provide some, and a mere 28 memoir pages written in his elegant script and quirky style, replacing the word "I" with a drawing of a human orb, for instance. All told, Piepenbring spent 12 to 15 hours face-to-face with Prince in Minneapolis, New York and on tour in Melbourne.
Their last conversation was just four days before Prince died. It was focused on his parents and their conflicting influences in his life. His father, John L. Nelson, was a disciplined, God-fearing jazz musician with an explosive temper. His mother, Mattie Della Shaw, was a beautiful fun-loving party girl with a stubborn, irrational streak who was sometimes sneaky, or as Prince wrote:
"She would spend up what little $ the family had 4 survival on partying with her friends, then trespass in2 my bedroom, `borrow' my personal $ that eye'd gotten from babysitting local kids, & then chastise me 4 even questioning her regarding the broken promises she made 2 pay me back."
The tumultuous nature of his parents' relationship had a lasting impact.
"The wound of Ur parents fighting is chilling when U're a child," Prince wrote. "If it happens 2 become physical, it can be soul-crushing."
Their conflicts, divorce when he was 7 and the duel impact on Prince and his work is the book's prevailing theme. The pages were written at a time when the man who once said he never looked back was doing just that on stage during his solo "Piano & A Microphone" gigs.
"So much of his writing is about division in some way and the fight to make oneself whole again," Piepenbring said. "There's this kind of brokenness that he's always working to repair."
Prince writes that his first memory was his mother's eyes, describing her habit of throwing conspiratorial winks his way.
"Sometimes when my father wasn't playing piano he'd say something 2 my mother & she would wink at me. She never told me what it meant and sometimes it would be accompanied by a gentle caress of her hand 2 my face. But eye am quite sure now this is the birth of my physical imagination."
Prince had big visions for the book, considering at one time a "how to" on making it in the music business without selling your soul. At another point, he suggested that he and Piepenbring figure out a way to end racism. At still another, he wanted to focus on the importance of creative freedom.
"I think he was really in the process of excavating his past with a level of detail and specificity that maybe he had avoided before," Piepenbring said. "He had come to the realization that he really was in many ways the sum of his mother and father and they were the, sort of, two poles of his being."
Prince wrote on other subjects as well, including puberty (his stepfather took him to R-rated movies at a drive-in as a stand-in for the birds and bees talk), the blackouts and seizures he had as a child and his first kiss, with a girl of just 5 or 6 named Laura Winnick. They'd play house.
Piepenbring wrote a lengthy introduction explaining his encounters with Prince and how the book was completed. He wasn't allowed to take notes during their first meeting so he was forced to reconstruct the conversation. Some of their chats are printed as marginalia in the book. There's an abundance of hand-drawn childhood doodles and cartoons, along with lyrics Prince often wrote on whatever was handy, including a brown paper bag.
There's a photo album Piepenbring unearthed at Paisley Park that a sleepless Prince decided to put together in 1977 at age 19, only days from completing his debut album, "For You." With witty remarks written in pencil, Prince sits on the hood of his first car in one shot. In another, he snapped his first paycheck from Warner Bros.
There's also an early outline he wrote for the 1984 film "Purple Rain" with an even darker story line than the one that made it onto screens. The film, based loosely on his life, won an Oscar for best original sound score. In the 1982 treatment, "The Kid" character Prince plays is a diagnosed schizophrenic who as a child watches his mother shoot his father dead, then turns the gun on herself.
Prince had envisioned playing both his mother and father in flashback scenes. The finished film, not written by Prince, involves a suicide attempt with a gun that the father survives.
The book also includes an early draft of Prince's song "1999," which _ along with the rest of the double album of the same name _ helped him cross over to a broader audience from the R&B charts. The song's first line reads: "I was trippin' when I wrote this so forgive me if it goes astray." He crossed out "trippin'" and replaced it with "dreamin'" to create one of his most recognizable lines.
Many of the photos in the book are familiar to hardcore fans and it includes a heavy dose of previously published interviews with Prince. From the start, it was clear to Piepenbring that Prince envisioned him as something more than a ghostwriter.
Prince was looking for a second voice to bring his vision alive in print, almost "like a sounding board," said Piepenbring, who is based in New York and was working for Paris Review when, at age 29, he was chosen for the book.
After Prince's death, Piepenbring didn't want his introduction, which is longer than the pages Prince wrote himself, to end up as an obituary or his role to become that of "Prince whisperer," overstepping what Prince's intentions were for the book based on the few pages he had written.
As for what might have been, Piepenbring said, "I think we would have gotten more of his story than we've ever seen, and I think we would have gotten not just this book but a number of books from him. He told me that he wanted to write a lot of books, and I really think he was serious about that."
