I remember the Northrop gig and Jamzone's right. He joked about the fact that Brownmark had biffed up and then joked at Bobby, looking fat (and Matt too I think). I think he said "portly" but it might have been shapely.

Replacing Bobby with Kirk was weird, but there was all this tension around Kirk and Larry at the time and at the gig. P knew that the gig was filled with fans and that many of them had a prob with Kirk and Larry. Early on he said "if you got my back you gotta have their's" or something like that. I think he just felt more comfortable with Kirk on drums at the time, but it was kinda shame to call Bobby up and them diss him. They shoulda set up two drumkits and there woulda been no prob.

Correct me if i wrong, but i remember that Bobby Z. did get mad at Prince after Prince demanded from Wendy and Lisa to publicly make their excuses for being lesbian?

Prince had a meeting with some of the old members of the revolution, and Bobby Z. did walk out of the house, being pissed about Princes demand.

It happened in 2000 or 2001 i think

I dont know the details of that story. Anyone can verify it?

bobby z was pissed and woved never to work with prince again.

The question is did bobby Z play on anything? After 1999 95% percent of the drums were LinnDrumm.

** OF4S. Of course he did. And he create River Run Dry **

He played on Let's Go Crazy, Take Me With U, Computer Blue Purple Rain, IWD4U, Baby I'm a Star, 4 the Tears In Your Eyes, the Dance Electric, All Day All Night(released on Jill Jones album) America, Pop Life, the Ladder, Love or Money, Anotherloverholenyohead, Mountains, Girls & Boys, Power Fantastic and others unreleased
