I was unaware of anything more than a friendly rivalry. shrug
Maybe we can go to the movies and cry together

Who needed to reconcile with who?

Morris did nothing after leaving the Prince stable and eventually a brother needs to find a meal ticket. The two of them had been through so much together that Prince was always going to take Morris back into the fold as long as he cleaned himself up which he appeared to do.

I think they both probably just grew up a little bit.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

If you look around Jellybean Johnson did an interview were he talks about the fist fight between Morris and Prince. In addtion, Alan Leeds has talked about having to pick Morris up from his house and bring him to the set each day.
Apparently Morris was really wacked out on drugs when the film was being made.

Yes, it is sad and I was real disappointed when I first started reading about his problems. You talk about someone who blew it big time.

morris had a solo career outside of prince and his biggest hits were fishnet and the oaktree. not 2 mention he has appeared in several movies and even had his own television comedy show.

prince and morris soothed things over during the lovesexy show in LA in 1988 and at the time it was just prince, morris and jerome in the studio until the rest of the original members of the time came back in2 the fold. the corporte world sessions where then shelved allowing jesse, jimmy and terry 2 contribute their original songs 2 the album that later became pandemonium
man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81
