Purple Bananas

How Prince Saved Me and Other Selections from the Soundtrack 2 My Life

By: Jason Webber

Narrated by: Mike Dawson

Dig if you will the picture...Jason Webber is adopted at birth into a dysfunctional evangelical family. Scared, bullied, and living with a crippling stutter, his life seems hopeless...until one day he sees a tiny androgynous Black man in heels on the television. There's something magnetic about this man--named Prince--and Jason starts to find a way to navigate through the world with Prince's music as his guiding light. From the newsrooms of Toledo, Ohio to the boardrooms of the political world to stages with Insane Clown Posse, the magic of Prince helps this troubled young man get through this thing called life.

A valentine to the immortal music and persona of Prince and a testament to the power of the human spirit, Purple Bananas is a rollicking rock 'n' roll journey you'll love to take.

Prince Saves

As someone who went through a tumultuous childhood, I can relate to the author turning to music for escape and comfort. I think Mike Dawson was an excellent choice for the voice of this incredible story. Jason‘s storytelling has a unique way of pulling you into his world explaining the many ways that Prince helped him through tough times without ever meeting the legend.
