Dez Dickerson he was who Wendy replaced in The Revolution...can be seen in most Prince videos pre Purple Rain.
I am not African. Africa is in me, but I cannot return.
I am not taína. Taíno is in me, but there is no way back.
I am not european. Europe lives in me, but I have no home there.
I am new. History made me. My first language was spanglish.
And I am

His name's Dez Dickerson, and he's singing "I want to be a MODERNAIRE".

He was a guitarist in Prince's band from the first album up through 1999. nod

And if you wanna see what he's up to now, go here:

The episode where Michael welcomes his long-hared bully into his home and then James gives him the whipping of his life? Is that the one you're talking about? wink

Maybe it's the episode where J.J. gets shot - the leader of the gang he was in looked like Prince, too. He was giving Thelma the "eye"...

Uh.... If that were Prince he'd of had on ass-less pants. Seriously, though, I remember that bully as "Zack" from PBS tv's "The Electric Company?" (And he deserved that ass-whippin' too!)

lol Me too! I remember thinking why does he want to be a mountaineer!
At one point I also thought he said I want to be in mountain air. Maybe because that made more sense to me at the time? I guess I thought he liked to chill in the mountains out in the fresh air! I was only 8!
