A memoir before suddenly changed his mind in 2016 why well that is a pretty big question because prince was always a very elusive kind of artist in some ways more persona than person as far as we could see but what his coauthor dan pipe in bring says is that prince in his last years started to feel that he had a lot to say that he couldnt express just in music he was increasingly political particularly passionate about the black lives Matter Movement and also he started to think about his own mortality and what he was going to be leaving behind and that was possibly also because his great friend and musical rival Michael Jackson had also died you know when i was you know. Imprints him self died a few months into the project hed actually barely written anything on his memoirs and thats where pipe and bring his coauthor really faced a dilemma what do i what do you do with these very incomplete memoirs but what piper bring did is he got access to princes studios paisley park and he went in there like an archaeologist basically and thats where he found all of these handwritten notes these never before seen photos handwritten lyrics from all of princes greatest hits and what he also did with the memoir is he talked about his own experience meeting up with prince and how prince was basically a total control freak and he was very careful he would wanted to control what words were used to describe him prince that he did not want the word magic used he said funk music is not magic its rules this is a guy of course who was very disciplined he went 27 instruments to create his 1st album talking of discipline how does someone so disparate and opioid overdoes so i mean do we get any insight into this in the book well pipe and bring basically says that it was. Its a total shock to him and he really believes that prince was taking these drugs to maintain to battle pain so that he could keep working as he was used to by barry actually says that prince did not have a he didnt stick bone in his body. But. Special insights that happen here. Prince does talk about what he calls his central dilemma which is basically this feeling that he has these 2 opposing poles within him theyre actually his mother and his father his father very religious very hardworking just wanted to put food on the table basically and his mother was outlandish she wanted to party this is actually what the song when dougs cry is all about. These things hes. Right he sings maybe im just like my mother she was never satisfied the song was actually about their divorce and trying to reconcile what that was all about david sad but thank you very much for all this about prince i always feel sad hearing about this but his memoir the beautiful ones david thanks as well of checking it out. All november the 9th it will be 30 years since the fall of the boat in wool every day this week we have eyewitness accounts of people who lived in the east and the personal experiences surrounding this historic day the photographer gabriela she was about to give a speech a demonstration against the regime in the home town of effort when she heard the news. Im open nov 9th 1989 right before i went up to hold my speech someone tell me on the shoulder if you want you can say that the war has false cons and i thought that right very funny of course i didnt believe it. For 41 years germany was a divided country from 1961 until 989 a while even split berlin into the western part belonged to democratic west germany the eastern part to communist east germany it guarded its borders zealously anyone who tried to escape was arrested or shot criticizing the regime could land you in jail.

Long and just focused in the early 1970 s. There was a University Student in alford majoring in german and art. Over. The. Kind of concept of the day the stream could. Be a. Lets all go from chris. In east germany that triggered a wave of protests among artists and dissidents including one who was arrested. This was the only connection to the outside world. Spent 5 months in detention in 1977 she was sentenced to a year in jail at a womens prison in sacks and.

Thats where the artist showed her pictures short films and photographs not official public exhibitions have to be authorized by the authorities. It happened last germany had at least 20 i am some about who were always trying to incriminate me.

We are becoming a Cashless Society more mole certainly here in europe its easy to get credit cards and now so wiping is the name of the game you just passed over the machine and it automatically takes your money but germany is actually bucking this trend and here mole than in any other european country cash is still king why well there are various theories.

By when you pay in cash i can immediately see you have experienced the pain of your own spending ceased.

Even street performers are starting to switch from coins collected in a guitar case to cashless Payment Methods princess had trini has been busking in london for 2 years and always has his portable card reader with him he says the cashless option makes people more likely to give him donations or even buy his c.
