Tommy Barbarella

Whatever happened to him? Is he still in the music biz and has he had a haircut yet?

According to allmusic, he's been doing a couple of things...

Appeared on:

an album by Djola Branner (2000)
two albums by Giorgia (2001, 2003)
two albums by Greazy Meal (1996, 1997)
an album by Johnny Clueless (1998)
an album by Love and Rockets (1998)

Oh...

and an artist I've actually heard of...

Mandy Moore's Coverage (2003).

No picture, so I don't know if he's got a haircut. I always liked him. Damn, his fingers were long

Out of all of P musicians, he's the only one I can't bear to look at. He's slimy and irritating with his false pout and (too long) hair. Don't get me wrong, I like an effeminate man as much as the next woman but he just rubs me up the wrong way...I don't know why.

It's the hair-waving...I can't really think of a single moment in a Prince video/concert
where he doesn't throw his head around like he's in some sort of shampoo commercial. disbelief

I think the worst example of this was the video for Dolphin. Jeezus!

hi all, i'm an italian prince & npg fan (from lovesexy to the gold experience, to be true... i've never had the chance to listen to the albums which are on sale just in internet..).
I write this just to say that tommy, sonny t and michael b are doing a great job with our singer giorgia (maybe one of the best voices all over the world, you should listen some songs of hers!). Giorgia's fans are enthusiast of them and the latest giorgia's albums are great. I heard somewhere that sonny wrote some songs w/ giorgia, too.

I know! He's a decent keyboarder, but I remember looking at all that pouting back in the day and going "...what in the Sam hell...?" I recall being at the Glam Slam opening/Prince birthday party with my cousin in South Beach years ago and he was just mulling around the bar area in a FITTED jacket and a damn sarong skirt, POUTING!Most of the ladies were totally done up and working it, but he had more poof in his hair than all of us combined, trying to pick up chicks the whole time, but with that POUT thing going on! I saw that mess and was thinking, "baby you are offstage now, please RELAX YOUR LIPS". I also remember he was all over The Beach for three days, lips unrelaxed whenever you saw him...um um um...

I heard that the greazy m. stuff was funky...

But as for those long fingers- sorry to dissapoint, but, those days that he was wandering around South Beach with his lips stuck out, I saw him (all over the place but also) at a vegetarian restaurant on 6th street ( it's gone now though) called Our Place, and he was feeding some black girl cake with his wEEE wEEE small hands! He also didn't have his shoes on (they were skates actually, cause EVERYBODY was rollerblading on SoBe then, and going barefoot in cafes), and I must say his FEET were REALLY REALLY small, too!

Kinda made me wonder if that poor girl was disaapointed once they got past the cake feeding phase...!
