Why do all former Prince associates "scream" religion after they part ways?

Dez, Tony, Robin etc.

no where else to go!!! for some it seems to be such a reverential relationship that the only "being" higher that can provide that same (if not better) adrenaline rush would be God. Otherworldly beautiful mystical.

Artpal, where can we hear more of what ur label (or whaterver musical business u're in) produces? That Liza sound is great!


Oh - so now that Robin is gone, I get some attention, huh? hmph!

Just kidding. biggrin

I write music for film, video and TV. That song "New Little Girl" on Myspace is the only thing I have available related to the pop world. If you want to check out my music for TV, you can check out http://artpal.tv/MusicDemo.html

Some of you have asked if I could sell a CD, but I only have "New Little Girl" recorded right now, and I am working on a film. I guess I better get off my butt and record more of my pop songs, huh? smile In time. Maybe I'll have it available for download soon. Thanks for your interest.

Don't take all the blame, folks. Most of the reason why Robin left is because of something behind the scenes between me and her. Sure, the meanies didn't help either, but when she felt bassdame and I had betrayed her (with the "bimbo"/bible stuff), that was the last straw. We didn't mean to hurt her. I feel sad about all this, actually. I feel sad for her. sad

eek You's a bold mutha mutha w/ these questions, dude lol eek

I mean, do you REALLY think anybody would answer that on a public message board?? confused



Hello, and Amen, Sister.

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 lol !


I understand your point but Robin Power did an interview years ago talking about men she has been with (even Prince's penis size) I don't think she is the type of person that feels it inapproprite talking about her sex life. Maybe this is why some fans don't find it offensive asking about her personal life (and her personal life with Prince).

Are you really sorry Artpal? You enticed her into this and exploited her all the way. In the beginning of these threads you used her name from the start because nobody knows or cares who you are. You enticed thousands to view your threads by letting everyone know you had 'stories' to tell about Prince and Robin. The tactics used are really a nefarious way to get attention. Some kind of friend.

The way you described Robin's music or rather what it wasn't almost brought tears to my eyes because it made me realize what kind of a friend you really are. Robin just saw it too. What kind of an expert are you anyway? You can't make it on your own but feel you are in a position to critique Robin and Prince? LOL -It kind of hits home...you would be no one without your link to Robin and you obviously resent that; you're passive-aggressive nature is in full view for all to see.

As far as Robin goes, it's obvious that she is troubled and you have always known that. Shame on you for exploiting her. Now I see why you have never advanced beyond a bedroom in an apartment for your business.

I think Robin's music is great and innovative. I also think Prince is a great musician and I actually like what little I've heard of 3121. Your interpretation of my critiques is therefore totally off. Which therefore sheds a suspicious light on your other judgements of my motivations etc.

She was not this troubled fifteen years ago. I was as surprised as anyone else here.

Robin obviously does have issues if she was insulted by the bimbo remark.

In GB, she WAS a bimbo , but thats the role in the film. She's fully aware of Morris' infidelities and what not, but CHOOSES to stay by his side-even though its her daddy's club...

Not to mention the red cape caper....

Just because she took offense to the word bimbo doesn't mean she has issues...maybe she's just sensitive.

Oh, I agree, but I don't agree that she has issues just because she was offended by the world bimbo. If I am not mistaken, Artpal said that Robin played a bimbo in GB and that her bimbo image period was "self-imposed." Maybe she was took offense to the latter.

Whether or not it "seems" like a dumb made up story is not the point. What we can or can't "see" him doing is naught. We souldn't be asking about situations that have potential legal ramifications: did he take credit for songs, did he push someone down the steps?...someone on another thread was asking about the man's dietary practices and if his band had to follow suit to keep their gig wacky...that's no one's business. And my point was, if a former associate hasn't already taken the initiative to make revelations about informal situations that they've been privy to, we shouldn't instigate questions that could get them or this site into trouble as they fall into libelous catagories.

who exploited whom!??before robin decided to join in you were all loving liza. she took her time to create a source for people to get some insight, a different perspective. robin is a big girl and can and has always taken care of herself. i stand by the notion that shes tripping. everybody that has had something negative to post about her was given the "thats your opinion God bless you vibe" now because its liza saying something she doesnt like she "leaves" so what kind of friend is she? liZa is straight up and very cool.there is always more the story so dont be so quick to pass judgement. liza dedicated a lot of energy into this website to accomodate other peoples interest. when she first started these links, she never claimed to be anyone other than who she is. you didnt have to visit you chose too. if you feel someone is being exploited then dont visit. anyway bottom line when someone says something about you its one of two things 1. the truth or 2. your opnion. either way it is what it is. you need to be questioning robins motives. her actions have been somewhat childish to me and not very considerate of liza or anyone else who visits look prince is about love so lets work this thing out and get on with it. liza and robin call me and lets mediate this thing..later

if liza wasnt so hurt by this i would laugh out loud..can robin not speak for herself. as for liza not being able to make it on her own...youd be very surprised at what shes done and whats she is getting ready to do. what kind of expert are you? everyone is entitled to a critique, it stimulates conversation. by the way just because you dont know who liza is doesnt make her a no one, but then again who are you.

Hey man, u'd never talk 2 Michael B. this way in his own thread, would u? Just because Robin didn't make it in the P camp as long as Mike & is a woman (& talks a bit weird, i admit) doesn't mean she doesn't deserve as much respect as Mike: remember that she IS doin' us a favor by sharing her xperiences here.


You're right...although I'm more into a musician's point of view and thoughts (Michael B thread), I do like to hear some of Robin's memories...I was really just kidding....and Robin does mention thaty she's making music too many times:)

Um, No.


This is so interesting - this love/hate controversy we have going here. This is so typical of innovative music. It breaks all the rules - which throws people for a loop and repels them; yet at the same time it works somehow - which intrigues others. I'd put myself in the latter category.

What rules does Power break? I'll name a few:

1. All good music has to have a definitive melody. (this rule has already been broken by rap music).

2. All good music has to have lock step rhythm. (Power's rhythm is very off compared with the instrumental tracks).

3. All good music has to be sung the way American Idols singers sing (this rule has been broken by many many artists already).

4. All good songs have one lead vocal line, perhaps with backup vocals. (Power just mushes everything together - there is no clear definition between lead and backup vocals - just a whole bunch of multi-tracking.)

5. All good music has easily defined themes and thematic development. (Power's stuff has very subtle thematic development that's minutely incremental and organic.)


Here is the expert...how many classics have you written? Again, just joking.
BTW - what did you think of Prince's Sat Night Live performance?
