Saturday night Prince put on what Eric R. Danton, writing for Rolling Stone, termed an "epic concert" to close out SXSW. Tomorrow a new book about Prince by Touré, called "I Would Die 4 U: Why Prince Became an Icon", will be released. And though the odds are against you, Touré's worshipful yet enjoyable read contains very clear principles you can follow to become a musical icon like Prince.
I found Touré's "I Would Die 4 U: Why Prince Became an Icon" a bit hard to take at times in the same way that I respond to any worshipful volume about an iconic figure. But Prince fanatics will certainly find it worth reading and that's clearly who it's written for. If you don't love Prince, then this is not the book for you.
