probably at different times in their careers between the break-up of the band and now there might have been times where one of them might have thought "hey, it would really help out if we could make some extra money with a revolution reunion", but for all we know, that could be for any number of reasons - to help get their kids through school, to help pay for a house, etc.

That's what I was thinking. I know Dr Fink released a cd a few years back, but other than that, are the other former Revolutionaries still in the music business? I mean if Marlon Jackson can sell real estate, I'm sure Bobby could sell insurance

lol, well, sure...! hey, at least we haven't seen any former prince people on any VH1 reality shows! (not that there's anything wrong with that if it helps pay the bills, mmmKAY?)

i don't know what bobby is doing these days. he did have a pretty good run as a producer for a while in the 90s. in particular, i remember some stuff he did with boy george that was really good, back when boy george was still making decent dance records. and of course, bobby had a solo album and did some stuff with W&L early on. i'd love to see him guest on a wendy & lisa project or do a guest collab with the family or something. seeing all the old revolutionaries in the mix somehow would be just about as cool to me as seeing a full-on reunion.

i like the idea. the thing that puts me off about a prince & the revolution reunion is that there will be expectations for it to look, sound, and have the same energy as when they were together in the 80s...and that's just not gonna happen. everyone has changed, everyone has mellowed to some extent, and it's going to be a different group of people. prince is still a showman and can get away with flamboyance and crazy onstage carrying-on, but i don't know if we need to see a fiftysomething bobby z. wearing a lace headwrap or if we need to see brownmark wearing a skimpy silk doily as a shirt in this day and age. and i'm not just saying that to be snarky - i'm just willing to bet they've grown out of all that. and it would be cool to just let them be THEM in a reunion project, which i think would be difficult (impossible) with prince involved. it'd be cool to see a revolution reunion where everyone's input was up front, and the end result was something more unexpected than a group of people trying to rekindle a magic best left in the past.

I think the problem is that there are so many fans that would want and even expect that. Flashbacks are cool but, there is no such thing as a time machine folks! ... These people are artists and many have ventured into other musical avenues. That's what being an artist is. Besides, the likelihood of a Prince & The Revolution project with complete synergistic qualites is something I won't hold my breath for.

Which brings up a question, why couldn't the Revolution get together to record new songs ala The Family 2.0?

A Revolution reunion without Prince is like a horse drawn carriage running without the horse. The family 2.0 was a flop.

How is the Family 2.0 a flop considering the album isn't out yet?

I guess I'm not explaining myself well. What I'd be most interested in is a collaboration of the members of the Revolution where they bring their experiences from the past couple of decades to the table in a collaboration that showcases who they are NOW, as opposed to trying to cram into the image we had of them from the 80s. I would love it if the end result was nothing like the Revolution we recognized. I'd just like to hear what the fruits of such a collaboration would sound like, just on its own merits...not really to hear them trundling out all the Prince & the Revolution hits from the 80s. Prince does that quite well on his own.

Thanks for posting.

It's neat how W & L's personalities and playfulness compliment each other.

Bottom line: Prince and the gals need sit down for unresolved issue counseling.

These girls are nothing but frauds. Yeah they believe in the power of surrender alright, trying so hard to ride that old Prince bandwagon to get sales, when I remember all they have done was talk shit all these years. Let's face it, the album is BORING, so boring it should have never been released. I admit "invisible" has class, but it stops there, and them trying to think "Salt and Cherries" could have been hopeful because of it's upbeat doesn't hide the fact it's still tasteless and boring. So what do they do when the world has no interest in such musical garbage? They try to pretend their part of the Prince bandwagon....shameful. If they truly want to ride that power of surrender, they should quit making their own music for the public. It's a shame they tossed their only good album that should have been sold.

Just getting around to watching the whole thing... props to the ORG & W&L for making this possible.

I agree with them... their history with Prince is just as much THEIR history as it is his. No one can "own" your experiences, or restrict your memories. They should feel free to talk about their own past if they want.
