I have long waited for the release of Prince\u2019s memoir, The Beautiful Ones<\/em>. He barely finished writing it, but there was said to be 50 handwritten pages by Prince at the time of his death. Dan Piepenbring was his co-writer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first 47 pages are Piepenbring’s\u00a0writing, of which was excerpted<\/a> in The New Yorker<\/em>. I had already read the excerpt and found that it was just an abbreviated version of his essay in the book. Prince\u2019s written section was only in Part 1. The rest of the 4 parts were curated images from Prince\u2019s scrapbooks, handwritten lyrics, polaroids, notes, artwork, and other photos. A first draft of both handwritten and typed script of Purple Rain is included. I am happy for the handwritten things, and early photos, including his baby pictures.<\/p>\n

But to be honest, I felt somewhat short changed after I read P\u2019s written section. The news sources all stated that there were 50 handwritten pages by Prince. When I counted the pages, there were only 28.Was there more? The footnotes that Prince gave didn\u2019t seem like they would add up to 22 pages worth of writing, but I could be wrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I would still say the book is worth getting for any Prince fan who loves seeing the photos and Prince\u2019s handwritten work. But I do have some concerns.<\/p>\n

I wondered, seeing as P was not here to give his approval on the finished work, would there be inaccuracies coming from the co-writer\u2019s part? I want to give people the benefit of the doubt. But I am the type of person that strives for truth. And I am all too aware of how language can be used to distort the audience\u2019s understanding of the reality presented to them, whether done intentionally or not.<\/p>\n

As I read, I spotted some items of concern.<\/p>\n

I was peeved when I read that during the investigation at Paisley Park, that they ate \u201cvegan lunches\u201d to pay respect to Prince\u2019s menu restrictions. Maybe they assumed that he was vegan? But in truth, he was vegetarian, and this was something that was easily fact checked. P ate eggs and fish. He had a freezer full of dairy milk ice cream. Vegan activists love to cite P as a vegan to promote their political views. People reading this book will get the impression that he was vegan, even though he was not.<\/p>\n

The co-writer\u2019s essay mentions about Prince going to church on Sundays with his parents. Prince stated that he first grew up as Seventh Day Adventist (it is not mentioned, but later in life, he was a Jehovah\u2019s Witness). But Seventh Day Adventists go to church on Saturdays. Maybe this was an oversight?<\/p>\n

Then there was the mention of the Black Lives Matter. movement. Prince was a supporter of this movement, because he hoped to have an influence on the group, encouraging the black community to strive to help themselves by becoming an \u201ceconomic force\u201d. This means being independent, taking responsibility, believing in one\u2019s self, creating businesses, creating jobs, building communities, no longer seeing oneself as a victim of circumstances. If we observe the movement today, we will see that they have demonstrated neither of these values, nor do they have any desire to, instead they have been pursuing other unproductive activities that further creates division. This is counter to what Prince was wanting to tell people, to create something that belongs to them. Prince\u2019s initiatives were about creating opportunities, and mentoring the younger generation. Without context, one might assume that Prince endorsed everything about what this group is doing, as so much about this movement has changed since Prince\u2019s passing.<\/p>\n

Which leads me to notice another conflict in the consistency of the messages in the book.<\/p>\n

I was rather confused when I read that Prince agreed with Piepenbring, that he didn\u2019t like Ayn Rand\u2019s book, The Fountainhead<\/em>. Instead of stating a rational argument on why he didn\u2019t like the book itself, Piepenbring says that he had no patience for Rand\u2019s philosophy and her supporters of it. Prince saw the old black and white movie. I had seen parts of this movie on TV, as a young person. I could only vaguely remember that it was a movie that conveyed the idea of possessing uncompromising integrity to be true to one\u2019s self, purpose, and creative vision, and to not sell out. Was I missing something here? Seemed rather inconsistent to suggest that Rand was wrong, knowing what P stood for as an artist. P wanted to tell people to own their work. Did the writer fail to see the parallels of The Fountainhead<\/em> story with the real life struggles of being Prince, the artist?\u00a0 <\/span>I went and watched the movie in its entirety to better understand it and untangle the ideas.<\/p>\n

Ayn Rand is known for her philosophy called Objectivism. To explain it in a few words, it is the practice of rational individualism. The emphasis is on rationality, that decisions be based on logic, but also that it would benefit one\u2019s self-interest in the long term. In addition, there is also a great emphasis on the concepts of integrity, purity of purpose, personal responsibility, and the rights of the individual. Based on my observations of how Prince operated in his career, I believe that he would agree with these ideas.<\/p>\n

The Fountainhead<\/em> is an illustration of the Objectivist philosophy in practice. It tells the story of Howard Roark, an architect that refuses to compromise the integrity of his work for prospects of money or fame. He would rather be bankrupt and work as a hard labourer than to allow for others to compromise the integrity of his work to pander to mainstream taste. Word gets out that\u00a0 <\/span>Roark has been offered a building project, and a newspaper owner is swayed by one of his architecture critics to mount a frivolous smear campaign against Roark to sell more papers. Despite the public backlash, Roark triumphs, as he attains new clients who recognize his work as genius. Then, he is offered his dream gig. His former school mate, Peter Keating, minimally talented, who sold out to fame and money, is desperate to clamber back to his previous status as a star architect. He petitions Roark to design it for him and allow Keating to claim the credit for the design. Roark agrees to receive no money for the work. But accepts the job under one condition; that the building would have to be kept true to his design. Keating wins the project, but board members demand changes and he couldn\u2019t stop them. The original genius of the design is ruined by the lack of vision and direction by the collective. The building project has become an eye-sore.<\/p>\n

What Piepenbring wrote is not intellectually honest, in my opinion.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Fountainhead,<\/em>\u201d Prince said. \u201cDid you read that? What\u2019d you think of it?\u201d I said I didn\u2019t like it\u2014that I had no patience for objectivism, nor for Ayn Rand\u2019s present-day acolytes, with their almost farcical devotion to the free market and unfettered individualism. Prince agreed, though he saw how the philosophy could be seductive. \u201cI watched the movie, old, black-and-white, where he gives the speech at the end about burning down the building and the blueprints\u2026.\u201d It was a pivotal moment in Randian philosophy: \u201cNo work is ever done collectively,\u201d her character Howard Roark sneers. Prince worried that too much of hip-hop was in the thrall of ideas like Rand\u2019s, dedicated more to cutthroat self-absorption than a spirit of community. \u201cWe need a book that talks to the aristocrats,\u201d he said. \u201cNot just the fans. We have to dismantle The Fountainhead<\/em> brick by brick. It\u2019s like the aristocrat\u2019s bible. It\u2019s a compound of problems. They basically want to eliminate paradise. What about white supremacy, and what it has in common with objectivism? Is it satanic? Is it really the greater good? We should attack the whole notion of supremacy.\u201d The purity of its original meaning had been corrupted, he thought. \u201cThere used to be bands called the Supremes! Supremacy is about, everything flourishes, everything is nourished.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Referring to The Fountainhead<\/em> as \u201cthe aristocrat\u2019s bible\u201d doesn\u2019t make sense. The conversation seems rather confused. If I am to understand that correctly, if The Fountainhead<\/em> was the playbook of the elite, we would see all these rich people purposely choosing to live in poverty rather than being a fraudulent success. It seems more fitting that they desperately need to take a page out of Rand\u2019s book to learn the lessons about integrity. The celebrities of this world seem to have a habit of telling people to give up air travel for the sake of the environment, while they sip champagne on their private jets, pursuing their own desires. They also seem to have a habit of shouting #MeToo after they have traded sex for a role in a movie that turned them into a big star.(This is in reference to the casting coach system in Hollywood, this system can only function if there are many who comply and do not oppose it.)<\/p>\n

This is such a vaguely described conversation; poorly conveyed ideas, immediately dismissing a book without reason, it leads me to suspect that the author is like a typical Rand critic, who doesn\u2019t understood The Fountainhead<\/em>, who gets their opinion from what others have said, instead of their own thoughts and observations. Throwing words like \u201cwhite supremacy\u201d together with \u201cobjectivism\u201d, without any explanation, it could lead a person into thinking it was not a book worth considering. One might even think the book is somehow racist. On another note, the remarks asking, “Is it satanic? Is it really the greater good?” is very questionable, it seems to me that he could not have been referring to objectivism, because objectivism does not refer to the greater good in its philosophy. It is the opposing theory of altruism that makes reference to the greater good. So what was he really talking about here? We will never know, because this was not a recorded conversation, as the author admits, it is merely a recollection by the author. Was there any purpose in sharing these poorly described scraps of a conversation? Could there be a deliberate attempt to discourage readers from Rand? Criticism of Rand\u2019s work is highly politicized, and is often used to serve a political agenda. Especially in our times, in a political environment where socialist ideals (look at social justice warriors), such as forcing people to sacrifice their individual rights for the so-called greater good, are presented to the public as being moral, and those who do not agree are judged as evil.<\/p>\n

The comments regarding Prince\u2019s concern for the hip hop community doesn\u2019t make sense either. Was there a misunderstanding about what they were talking about? How many stories have we heard about hip hop artists selling their souls to the devil for a record deal? Rand\u2019s philosophy completely goes against that. These hip hop artists are like the character of Peter Keating, self-serving, slave tools to those in power, doing anything to achieve their ends, breaking their own integrity to do it, all while killing the entire industry as a whole by diluting the standards of what is considered excellent. The problems compound because there is no integrity among the individuals. Rand would say that these artists are not self-interested enough, had they been, they would be clear about what they set out to do, and would not allow themselves to be corrupted by ill-gotten short term gains. After all, it is in the interest of the individual to be part of a thriving industry.<\/p>\n

When I think about it, this story of The Fountainhead<\/em> could be re-written in the context of just about any other industry, including music and film, and it would still remain true to the underlying principles demonstrated in this book. This speaks to the true archetypal nature of these fictional characters. The concepts are universal.<\/p>\n

Some critics of The Fountainhead<\/em> argue that its characters are unrealistic,. Calling it \u201ctoo extreme\u201d, because no one could ever live up to such pure integrity. But that is precisely the point, to illustrate her idea about\u00a0 <\/span>integrity, and the rights of the individual to stay true to that. Roark\u2019s character is something to aspire to. Roark could not be swayed to betray his integrity, not by money or fame, not even for someone he loved. He was independent, non-conformist, uncompromising, believed in himself, he had purity of purpose. He didn\u2019t care to convince others of his own genius, or force his ideas onto anyone, not even for the sake of winning clients, or a love interest. He followed logic and reason, he felt that others should also think and judge for themselves about what they thought of him, and not to be persuaded by the opinions of the press, or by the convention of what is fashionable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, he was not a slave to anyone. He was a free thinker. People like this are dangerous to people who want power over others, because they know that there is nothing that they can do to control them. No devil could hold this man down, no money, no fame, no sex. Are these not the very things that people sell their souls for?<\/p>\n

Is there any reason that people who run this world, wouldn\u2019t want you to accept the ideas in The Fountainhead<\/em>, about the rights of the individual versus the collective? We are living in a world that asks you to be a conformist and sacrifice yourself for the arbitrary notion of the greater good. But who gets to decide what is the greater good? Is it really a selfless act if you are forced to do something you couldn\u2019t rightly justify with logic? Is conforming to the ideas of a group purely for the sake of the collective, not because you agree, really a moral deed? This is akin to not blowing the whistle on corruption because it would harm the collective. Think of the charities and non-governmental organizations that have been caught doing serious crimes against humanity. No one wins when you cover up corruption to save the collective. It only allows those in power to continue in their corrupt ways.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Perhaps they discourage you from considering Rand\u2019s ideas because they wouldn\u2019t want you to put two and two together, and notice that so many great individuals throughout history, including Prince, are very much like the character of Howard Roark. So much so, that Prince stipulated in his contract for the book,\u00a0 <\/span>the right to remove his book from print, if in any time in the future that he felt that the book no longer reflected him. Sounds like Roark to me, someone who wanted artist rights, to own and control his work as he saw fit.<\/p>\n

Prince had high hopes for this book, a message for the world. It\u2019s certainly disappointing that he never got to complete his vision for it. But let us not be discouraged.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m going to let Prince have the final words here, and leave you with some lyrics from The Beautiful Ones<\/em>, some words that perfectly embody what he would want to tell you;<\/p>\n
