Building on his lifelong admiration for Prince’s oeuvre and interviews with those closest to the late artist, including band members, his tour manager, and music and Bible scholars, Touré deconstructs the life and work of the enigmatic music icon who has been both a reflective mirror of and inspirational force for America.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n By defying traditional categories of race, gender, and sexuality, but also presenting a very conventional conception of religion and God, Prince was a man of profound contradictions. He spoke in the language of 1960s pop and soul to a generation fearing Cold War apocalypse and the crack and AIDS epidemic, while simultaneously being both an MTV megastar and a religious evangelist. He creatively blended his songs with images of sex and profanity to invite us into a musical conversation about the healing power of God and religion. By demystifying Prince as a man, an artist, and a cultural force, \u003ci\u003eI Would Die 4 U\u003c\/i\u003e shows us how he impacted and defined a Generation X.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48016206430366,"sku":"ING-9781476737409","price":28.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781476737409.jpg?v=1784724114","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781476737409","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
