SK: So do either of you have any desire to go back in front of the camera? I thought you were excellent in PURPLE RAIN (1984).

LC: Oh my God, I’m terrible! Wendy’s a good actress so she could do it. But that’s not my thing. Plus you’ve got to get up way too early.

WM: You’ve got to get up way to early and you’ve got to look way to good and I’m into looking way too ugly right now.

LC: That’s why radio is good. You can sit in the dark and do that.

SK: What are you working on now? You mentioned a new series on Showtime?

WM: It’s a new show on Showtime that’s going to be premiering June 8th called NURSE JACKIE starring Edie Falco who was the star of THE SOPRANOS. It’s phenomenal! I can’t even say enough about it. I think it’s going to be huge.

LC: It’s completely different from HEROES. It’s very earthbound and human. It’s extremely intelligent, funny, and quite good.

WM: We also scored another science fiction show called VIRTUALITY (2009) with the creator of BATTLESTAR GALLACTICA and CARNIVÁLE (2003-2005), Ron Moore, who we have worked with and David Eick. We are waiting to see at the end of May whether that gets picked up. My guess is it might not but if it does, then we will have three shows starting in the fall.

LC: I have to put a plug in for VIRTUALITY too. If it does get picked up it’d be fantastic! It’s an extremely…

WM: It’s so out of the box that I can’t even…

LC: It’s fantastic! It’s 2001. It’s the best science fiction I’ve seen in ages. It’s unbelievable. It’s beautiful.

SK: I read in an interview that you two gave recently with OUT magazine that Prince will often read your interviews and call you about things you said that pissed him off. I was just wondering if you took any calls after that interview was published?

WM: I keep getting a lot of hang ups on my machine. No, actually I haven’t heard from him since.

LC: Now that he’s expected to call he will do the total opposite of what you would expect. So he’s not going to call.

SK:You just had to call him on it...

LC: Exactly!

WM: I should have thought of it sooner.

For some reason, I can picture Prince hanging up when he gets someone's answering machine, and not leaving a message.

me 2

I listened to the first audio where they said they compose
10 minutes a day, but even that's too much....I don't compose,
so I have no idea...it didn't sound like that much to me.
Anyway, it gave me a whole new perspective of composing,
which I found to be very interesting.

glad you said that.. i missed the first 2...

Man don't they ever get pissed off when every interview has a question about Prince. I know he was a huge part of their lives but FFS its been over 20 years now and look what they have achieved on their own.

Composing on the fly (and making something your client loves) like that is not easy. Then they have to play and record it. Don't forget that part;)

I love Nurse Jackie! It's funny and poignant. Edie Falco is wonderful ! And of course the music is great!
