I agree. As a gay guy myself, I never understood why it's wrong if I don't "come out". I don't assume others are gay by default and they have to make a ringing endorsement of their heterosexuality to me or anyone else. Yet if we don't "come out", we're hiding it. From who? Just cuz you (whoever) wasn't in the mix to know doesn't mean anyone was hiding anything. It means you never got to know me. What I do w/ another guy has ZIPPO to do with most all of my life. It doesn't effect my job, my clothing, what I eat, what I read, what I listen to, whether I'm left handed or right handed (I'm left, btw), or anything else mundane like that. It's no secret W&L were lesbians from the get go. And no one ever gave a shit and they still don't. I'm glad for that.

I would pay money to hear audio of this interview, or SEE it.

I have read this interview a couple of times since I saw this thread, and I posted it on my Prince blog. Every single time I've read it, I've laughed out loud at the "fancy lesbian" part.

It tickles me NOT because it's about Prince, but because I can hear Lisa saying that. Can't you hear them sitting there, just chatting along like they did on the Purple Rain DVD extras, and Lisa blurts out "Fancy lesbian"???? TOO damn funny!

I think the question of that other personality inside Prince (as stated to Oprah) and its unknown gender has been resolved by Wendy in that interview: "He's a girl for sure, but he's not gay". HAHAHA

this was really, really awesome. i love them.

This interview and what's being said by these 2 lovely ladies is far more interesting than anything that's been said on the MPLSound-cd.....

love.this.

It seems to me that they've come to terms with the fact that Prince is going to come up in every interview that they do. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to find out that at least 75% of each one they do is edited down to focus on Prince and/or their association with him.

But realizing this, it seems like they're a lot looser. They accept it and give up the goods, knowing that it's the hook that's going to get the interview read so they can get some exposure for their own (very good) work in the process.

As a result, these interviews they've been doing the last several months are really incredible and a blast to read.

What a great interview.

w & l are too good to be prince's friends
He doesn't deserve them.

exponentially.

love it, it sounds like the 3 of them are like naughty siblings with P being the mature one , Lisa the rebel and Wendy somewhere in between!. Isn't it great that they still talk and I think it's very obvious that there will always be love between them. What is also blatantly obvious is that when the three of them work together and W&L are allowed some genuine creative input the results are magic; when I listen to a P cd or a W& L cd I always wish that each could have inputted into the other!. Its' the old Lennon / McCartney analogy isn't it.
The signs are good though for some old trax to be finally released, fingers crossed.

emesem said:

Amen, brother*. Amen.

* Or sister.

Here's a quote from the inner sleeve of their new LP "White Flags Of Winter Chimneys":

"....we struggled through the rip tides and petty wars of being lovers...."

It's because they still have their feet on the ground. Or up in the air...

Was gonna write more but suddenly feel the need for a great big wank.

iloveannie said:

LMAO!!!!

that was a great read, take note Prince,this is how your interviews should be like.

toots said:

Me too. That converation would be interesting to listen in on.

I can picture Prince reading this interview, the part where Wendy and Lisa refer to him as a "fancy lesbian", and his face looking like this:

Oh my God... The bit about Trevor Horn. I'm disgusted by him.

Love the gif.

He'll no doubt find a lot to be miffed about but if he could find it within himself to have some generosity of spirit he would realize it's true when they say it was their life too.

I'm happy to see them finally being able to enjoy a level of comfort and success on their own terms. Lisa said that she's enjoying her memories more and that's wonderful. It sounds so awkward when people feel they must censor themselves as though P will somehow turn them into a pillar of salt with one stare or something.

Very candid and relaxed interview...good questions too.

GirlBrother said:

that was really sad to read, because i love the grace jones and FGTH albums he's produced. oh, and the seal albums, sure. and i've heard the album he did with W&L and it's super nice. it sucks that he's so neurotic and homophobic.

Theres a lot of good stuff happening these days,,,,,

Up until recently i never
realized that Wendy was so ruff n tumble,
it sorta explains why her and Prince worked so well together....

on the other hand Lisa to me is like a silent woof warrior
and its good to see her finally taking the front seat
and shining her light....wouldnt mind hearing just a solo album
of her work in the future some time.....

more dreams shattered as i puff the hair out of my eye
- i so loved that raspberry beret imagery..... o well

: ) .

they never stop at the chance to show their neverending love for him...how could anyone think otherwise
