Almost from the moment that Donald Trump began the odyssey that would end with his surreal election as the 45th President of the United States, journalists, political commentators, and cultural critics struggled to explain what was happening by looking far and wide for historical precedents, connections that would make sense of something that seemed to make no sense at all. Maybe Trump's ascension wasn't as baffling and as unprecedented-and, by implication, as frightening-as it initially seemed. Maybe he was the logical endpoint of a perverse and fragmentary story that had been unfolding for decades. That's what we've rounded up here: the contours of a cultural obsession, over a hundred people, movies, and miscellaneous ephemera that for one reason or another felt to us like doorways to Trump.

This collection of essays, what-ifs and tidbits contains everything writer and critic Scott Woods has publicly written and published about Prince, as well as new material written specifically for this edition. A fun, sometimes biting history with Prince from a super-fan's perspective, Prince and Little Weird Black Boy Gods is not so much a reference as a unique look at his career, the meaning of his music, and an official weighing in on numerous long-standing Prince debates, such as who was greater between Prince or Michael Jackson, how many times did Prince launch a successful comeback, and which song off of every album you should listen to. This print version contains new essays and updated info, and promises to be an engaging, witty and fitting memorial for one of the greatest artists music has ever produced.
