Jerome Benton Easy paycheck!

Sometime ago, I saw a "Morris Day and The Time" concert and during the show Jerome was making fun of Prince, imitating Princes shuffle from Purple Rain. He laughed encouraging the audience to follow suit. The other day a watched an. In studio radio interview with The Time (Original members), and Jerome again mad fun of Prince. I started to wonder why would a guy take so much pleasure in making fun of man who gave him more opportunities than he deserved. I mean, Jerome has NO TALENT at all. And yet he is a member of two Prince related bands, starred in two Prince movies! But has no contributing skills, talent or creativity, sans his ability to make fun of his meal ticket of nearly eight years. WTF? II just wanted to ask fellow members your thoughts.

Let me clarify. Making fun is fine, no problem at all. But when the person you are making fun of is the reason you are even known outside the street you live on is a different story. Also you counter my opinion by citing "their" appearance in Purple Rain. I didn't critique the film performance. Obviously, you didn't grasp what I stated. Allow me to elucidate. He was the only person in the interview putting down Prince, but was the one who benefited most from his association. That's what I'm addressing. In addition, I never made any comparison. Next time you decide to comment on ones view, try comprehension of what you have read before you respond.

People people people!!!! No one is attacking, criticizing or reviewing their film performance! And I wasn't saying them (the time). I was inquiring about one single person...Jerome Benton.

One of the reasons I stopped posting anything here. Members misinterpret, interject unrelated opinions to the topic at hand and attack the individual asking the questions or presenting a topic. It's an open forum, but nothing more.

Well, what exactly was Jerome saying that was making fun of him? I'm sure he was just saying some things in jest to make the crowd loose and laugh. I mean, Prince himself would probably laugh at some of the stuff he said, since he's definitely got a sense of humor.

Well if Prince thought enough of him to put him in two bands(three if you count the expanded Revolution) and Three movies he must be doing something right.

All I'm saying is that Jerome made fun of the hand that fed him consistently, when he had no reason to do so. Jam and Lewis have a reason and don't. Jesse Johnson has a reason and don't. This guy gave Jerome employment. That alone should grant some type of gratitude and respect. Maybe my interpretation of being gracious is way off.

I don't give a shit that Jerome was taking the piss/or not, but I will say that I think Jerome is a cunt, I don't like face, I don't like his stupid voice or his awful forced laugh, all the same reasons that I think that Morris Day is a cunt too.

Okay so it's wrong of me to question Jeromes loyalty and respect. But the lot of you will attack every new girl in Princes band. What a twisted world we live in.

Its all part of the act. It always has been. Its a friend thing. A friend can make fun of you but if some stranger did, you'd be ready to fight, or cry...depending on your personality type.

You reeeaaalllllyyyy don't get it.

Nobody is going to be mad at Jerome for being...Jerome. Maybe you should have started this thread in Prince M&M, where that kind of hypersensitivity is more commonplace?
