Yes, our hairdressers knew Prince's stylist then personally from the salon I worked in. Jill Jone's uncle. At THAT time he was getting his hair set in rollers and it would leave his hair full and bouncy. It was all HIS natural hair... all of it. Olive Lee Benson our boss saw to it we had all our clients looking just as fly in our place too.
Jill Jone's uncle was badass! AND FYI fake hair didn't move back then, Prince was whipping his hair back and forth a LOT during that era.
FYI Angela Basset wore a weave/wiglet for her movie role in Waiting to exhale when she got it cut short... she never cut her hair IRL. She always kept it long then.
Black folks can grow their natural hair long and full... or wear weaves to a make it look short.
I remember Earl Jones! He use to have Prince hair whipped.Didn't he pass away?
Yeah, I'm hip to Earl Jones but he's not who I was refering to in my earlier post. I don't believe Mr. Jones was working with P during the period I was stating which was from 81- mid 82 from the Controversy tour. I would say P got hip to Earl from J.J who P met when Teena Marie was opening for P on the Dirty Mind tour and J.J was Teena's back up singer. That was in early to mid 81. From my understanding, Earl didn't start doing P's hair untill 83 after the 1999 tour and commencing for Purple Rain. As far as blacks growing their hair long, that goes without saying and I'm certainly not one to imply P couldn't grow his hair long being that P had a gigantic afro from his first album in 78 and pressed straight on his follow up in 79. It being "long" was never what my post was about. It was about P having pieces added in simply because of a style he wanted which was easier to maintain on tour. |

I couldn't speak on that time period... but his hair was always an evenly frizzy mess during that time. His hair would often sweat out when he performed.
His hair looked like pressed crunchy shit during the dirty mind era-early eighties. 83 and on... his hair looked professionally pressed and curled (Marcel irons) but it still frizzed up. Didn't think hair pieces frizzed up. |

Translation. I can get any Press so let me use Prince's name.............
I was thinking the same damn thing Gray.
I'm not saying Sinead doesn't have some talent, but she is average at best (IMO) and whenever she makes news, it's always something crazy she's done or Prince related.  |

When did P do "similar stuff' to Jesse? When did P ever hold Jesse hostage?
March 2 Tower Theater , New Orleans
March 3 Orpheum Theater , Philadelphia
March 5 Metro Center , Rockford
March 7 Met Center , Bloomington (SB)
March 11 Coliseum , Hampton
March 12 Raleigh, NC
March 14 Riverfront Coliseum , Cincinnati
p 48 chapter 4 Pawns Possessed: the Rise & Fall of Prince
The hostilities burst to the surface during the last show of the tour at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinnati. During their opening set, the Time found themselves being pelted by eggs from offstage. Gradually, they realized that Prince and some of his band members were the culprits. The barrage increased, and, toward the end of the set, Prince and his accomplices abducted Jerome Benton, a dancer for the group, from the stage and poured honey all over him. They they pelted hims with garbage. "They tarred and feathered him, basically," recalled Fink, who did not participate and insisted to the Time members that he wanted no part of the battle.
Then, as the Time's set ended, Chick Huntsberry grabbed Jesse Johnson and hauled him to Prince's dressing room. There, Huntsberry handcuffed Johnson to a horizontal coat rack bolted into a brick wall. Prince came in and began taunting Johnson and tossing Doritos chips and other pieces of food at him."This is what you get for talking about my mama!" Prince shouted.
The various members of Prince's band and crew in the room looked on with horror as the episode continued. "It was a cruel thing to do,"observed Bennett. Fink recalled, "I just sat there and said to myself, this is getting out of hand."
Humiliated and frightened, Johnson writhed in his cuffs. Finally, to the amazement of the onlookers, he managed to rip the entire twelve-foot-long coat rack out of the wall. His hands were still cuffed to the rack, which he began swinging wildly. "Jesse was uncontrollable," Fink said. "He just lost it. Chick had to contain the situation before someone got hurt."
Yeah, I already knew about the scenario about P having Jesse locked to a rail on tour, etc. I knew Jesse had once stayed with Terry Lewis when he first joined The Time but I had never heard of Jesse actually living at P's crib at any time. Him offering it to Lisa when she first joined his own band, yeah, I see that but I don't see him offering that to Jesse. Even in the beginning. Jessie talked about staying in prince's house recently in an interview. The hostage thing sounds like practical joke gone out of control. |
