Shall We Begin? Wendy & Lisa interview.

source

Here's a piece for teasing.

Miles Marshall Lewis: According to Questlove, the Prince Estate verified there was a lot of “Baby I’m a Star” edited out of Prince & the Revolution: Live because of VHS space limitations. Can you tell there’s a section missing?

Lisa Coleman: No. It’s all a blur. [laughter]

Miles Marshall Lewis: Is there a memoir coming from you guys to follow the books from Brown Mark, Morris Day, Sheila E., etc.?

Wendy Melvoin: You know, Lisa and I have talked about that. We just celebrated 40 years as Wendy & Lisa, and our history together is incredible in that we’ve still gone strong. We talked about doing something. We just haven’t gotten to it. I think we should probably pay a little bit more attention to that, because we’re getting up in our beautiful ages and we wanna make sure that we pass on something to our children.


______________

I've suggested for years that the Revolution should do a book the way the MTV VJs did or Motley Crue did The Dirt. Everyone has their input talking about a particular story or time frame. I think it'd be the best way. It'd sorta keep folks in check (looking at you Brownmark).

Bits from Magnoli, Cavallo, Batts, McCreary, etc would be good, too.

It could also be when he stops the music, it's dark and then "Good God" and starts back up again.

The audience on stage does just sorta disappear after they go up those stairs, tho.

The televised version used to be on YouTube but damn if I can find it now. Maybe it was in there.

True. I have another version (maybe the final show, "I Don't knwo when's the return"?) where at some point after the 'gimme 25!' he says 'Hunrede and twelve yeah--no no no, just kidding!"

.

.

Maybe that was cut out smile

.

.

on another note, the little horn lines that they play before Jerome comes out, Da-da-da-da., Da-da-da-da, Dahhhhh, Dahhhh, Dahhh. and then after he comes out....the long whole notes. Dahhhhhhhhhh. Da-da-da-Dahhhhhhh.

Are those melodies from something else or just made up for this?

I remember the 125 thing, but was it Syracuse?? I don't necessarily remember it from there.

I don't know about that little section. It sounds more like something written for the song, probably done in a rehearsal or something, and it just worked. But with Prince stealing so much shit over the years, who knows.
