Prince, with bassist BrownMark, at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, 11 October 1981. Prince and his band, who were one of the opening acts for the Rolling Stones on this date (as well as on 9 October), are pelted with trash by hardcore members of a rock and roll crowd. Prince later describes the unruly mob as "tasteless" before going on to become one of the most famous and respected performers in the world. Photo by Allen Beaulieu.

Being familiar with BrownMark I immediately requested the ARC of My Life in the Purple Kingdom from NetGalley. I received this copy in exchange for an honest review with no promise of writing a positive one.

This is the story of another person from Prince's bizarre court. Mark Brown was a young naive musician who became enthralled with an individual he viewed as a musical genius. Once he discovered his love for the guitar it compelled him to not only master the instrument but to pursue a career in a city where venues were primarily segregated.

After being taking through a strange audition Mark replaced Andre' Cymone as the bass guitarist in Prince's band. He is then renamed BrownMark and subjected to physical, financial, and psychogical abuse by a man that he still considers a brother.

It's amazing to me that there is another account in the world detailing the bizarre behavior of someone who was clearly an insecure narcissist who only cared about making money. I really loved the details about Mark's childhood and family life. I admire his ability to forgive Prince for his irreprehensible behavior. Mostly I am impressed at the fact that he learned from his mistakes and went on to establish a career in spite of being cast into the shadows.

👑🎸🥁🎹🗣️🎤🎵🎼💜 On December 13th 1984, I witnessed Prince and The Revolution at the Rosemont Horizon on the Purple Rain Tour. My life was changed that night. They and opening Sheila E were devastating on that stage. We were in the nosebleed seats behind the stage, looking down on Lisa Coleman and Matt Fink on keyboards as well as drummer Bobby Z. I knew that I had to play. And here I am 38 years later. #backinthaday #princeandtherevolution #purplerain #purpleraintour #prince #lisacoleman #wendymelvoin #drfink #brownmark #bobbyz #musicalinspirations https://www.instagram.com/p/CmImpqtMwH1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
