From his early days as a teenager in the hoods of Minneapolis to the star-studded days of playing bass guitar as a part of Prince and the Revolution, Mark Brown has truly lived a memorable life. "My Life in the Purple Kingdom" is a fun, lighthearted and contemplative memoir in which Brown reflects on his musical journey, his romantic relationships, racial tensions and his close relationship with his mother. Written in a conversational tone, Brown lures in the reader with his easygoing charm and takes them on a whirlwind journey behind one of America's biggest and most influential bands. Definitely worth a read!
