Prince & Martika

Found this while looking into Martika and Prince this was written in 1991:

His own mention of Martika leads him into a rapturous appreciation of the young Cuban pop singer. She is clearly the type of person he wishes all his audience, all the world, might be. "She is," he says, "like a flower unfolding."

"That's nice," says Martika when I speak to her a few days later. "I feel the same way about him. Though he's sort of unfolded already, I guess." Martika had been thinking about calling Prince for months. When she saw Graffiti Bridge (she says it's true, she has seen it six times) she noticed that a lot of the words were about the same things she had been jotting in her notebooks. So last December she flew out to Minneapolis to be with Prince. They sat down and she showed him her notebooks. He was impressed. She visited several times, taking four tracks they worked on together away to New York to finish on her own. She flew back to play him the whole LP and the video for their hit collaboration, "Love. . .Thy Will Be Done." When he watched the video, he was moved.

Martika asks me about my time in Minneapolis, and I hint at some strangeness. Sometimes, I say, you have to think: he's a person, and I'm a person...and he's rude.

"I know what you're saying. He's difficult to understand like that. But I don't think he means to be." Her position is clear. If he was rude, so what? You can excuse all that, you must excuse all that, because what it allows to exist-his music-is ultimately much more important.

The whole article can be found here: http://princetext.tripod....ils91.html

She is in a group called The Oppera with her partner Michael Mozart.

Also, do you think that ugly people are God's cruel joke on humanity (like the platypus and the heterosexual) or another form of population control?

I checked out one of the songs on The Oppera album. It's called say anything. It's pretty good. It sounds very Wendy & Lisa musically. I'm impressed.
