should have read this before it posted..so many tyos it's not even funny..hopefully you can get the point. | |

Thanks, Joni, you're a true pal. And I agree your question was a valid one and wasn't meant to be judgemental. Robin, just so you know - when I looked at the "Number One" video, I felt that Paisley Park had portrayed ME as a "bimbo" too. That is the nature of the music biz for us females. I am not a bimbo, but that is how they portrayed me, and I let them. I wasn't judging you, I was judging the music biz. You might not think that how we women are portrayed in the biz is a bad thing, but I am not happy with it myself and I am entitled to my opinion. But seriously, it was nothing against you at all. If you are truly departing, I wish you all the best. I just hope that sometime you will be able to discern the difference between your friends and your enemies. That way you won't feel so lonely. Also, when I mentioned the time about being in a hotel, I was referring to the fights ALL of us Dames used to have with each other in your apartment. I wasn't singling you out. Bassdame and I had our own blow ups, didn't we Joni? The blessings and curses of being beautiful - a documentary

I just wanted to say to Power that some people on message boards can be very harsh. I know it's hard not to take critism of your music/art personal because, to you it IS personal, since it's coming from inside of you and you are using art as a medium to express yourself. But people can say alot of cruel things when they are protected behind a computer screen. If they actually met you they would see you and feel your energy and not have such nasty words to say because they would see your vulnrablility, honesty and confidence that all artists posess that makes them so likeable. Most people who critique art lack the confidence that artists have and harbor jealousy. They may not even realise it. Some people might not "get" your music and that is ok, sometimes people can come off very tactless and forget others have feelings but remember that you would never see them open themselves up to strangers like that. It takes alot of guts to say what you want to say even though you know alot of people are not going to agree with it and I admire that alot.
Oh and I also didn't see artpal's description of "bimbo" as an insult. I think she just ment "sexy" image. | |

I'll have some, if you don't mind- all joking aside, a lot of what makes this thread so fascinating is that it has the esssence of certain "Truman Show" moments written all over it... cyberspace has made the world a very strange place, indeed....this all feels so...I don't know,"post-Post Modern"...I don't know how else to describe it | |

I made a thread awhile ago about Jill jones/Prince regarding a possible incident of violence. Someone told me they heard from different sources that Prince pushed her down some stairs; do you know if this is true? As a fan i know Prince can be an asshole and egomaniac but i thought he was better than this? You's a bold mutha mutha w/ these questions, dude I mean, do you REALLY think anybody would answer that on a public message board?? | |

While it's definitely understandable that people are intrigued by The Dames and what the creative process is like within the walls of Paisley Park...we REALLY need to to cut it out with the personal questions already. To begin with, they are rude and intrusive. How many of you would like to be invited to a public internet forum about music only to have people grill you with personal questions about your former boyfriend, girlfriend, or lover? ESPECIALLY those based on rumours or hearsay? Newsflash: all the relentless pursuit of questions having nothing to do with with the ladies' work projects, life and creative philosophies, or true events they have admittedly witnessed firsthand should cease. We are bordering on blind fanaticism in here, probing into peoples' private lives and instigating responses in ways that can get them, or even this site in legal trouble with words like libel, slander, and defamation of character being thrown every which way. No matter how different all of our personal tastes and philosophies might be, or the lifestyles we individually choose to lead, there should still be a modicum of dignity and respect to the posts that we add to this thread. Please do not continue to insult these artists, as well as the intelligence of members of this board with these gossip mongering questions. They are simply inappropriate. ....having said that, please know that I didn't mean that "bitchy" to the original poster, but enough IS enough ! | |

Interesting it most certainly is, but some of the questions posted here are bizarre. They border on "groupie-central" and lend an empty, unsavory quality to what can otherwise be a hilariously entertaining (and I've noticed as of late, poignant ) thread. | |

...funny you should ask. Hey Wrobin, I hweard Prince once dragged a chick out onto the stage by her hair during a wrehersal and shoved a microphone stand up her coochie and yelled "Let this be an example of what's coming to those who defy me" and then looked at her and said "When I say no blue eyeshadow b**ch, that's what I mean. Not on me and not on you, either" Is that true? | |
