Description:
Chris and his guest Fenwick Johnson (www.rugmusic.com) defend Prince's musical output post-1988. Did Prince really lose his mojo after Lovesexy? Call in to offer your thoughts and check out some music from Fenwick's band, Rug.

Groovy.

But dude, ya gotta put the link up in here.

I'd argue he lost some of his mojo before Lovesexy.

This I have to listen to

Looking forward to this one!

So this topic could easily go on for two hours and still leave a ton of ground uncovered. To try to keep it somewhat limited we decided to focus on a couple of albums, but are certainly open to additional thoughts/suggestions.

Chris came up with "Come", I came up with "ONA Piano", and we both came up with "Emancipation". With only half an hour to try to squeeze this in we clearly wouldn't be able to do track by track full on reviews, (heck Militant and Ernest couldn't get through the Gold Experience in an hour)! But these are our first thoughts on how to briefly delve into this topic.

Hope you can all tune in!

Will tune in for sure.

Bluefish, hope you get to meet Prince one day

I liked the hour format better. Your topics do look intriguing - I hope you guys can fit it in. ONA Piano

Ask and ye shall receive. The show has been bumped up to one hour. I really think I should expand to 1 hour from now on, but I don't want to bore people. What do you guys think?

Shows are in the works for May 9th and May 16th as well, then I'm taking a break so I can prep for my college graduation party and my move out west.

I'll be back on a special night and time, Monday, June 7 at 6 p.m. Central Time, with a 3-HOUR MEGA PURPLE BIRTHDAY BASH! I'll roll out my brand-new 800 number for callers, and I'm reaching for the stars as far as guest recruiting is concerned: I'll be sending feelers out to Wendy & Lisa, Dez Dickerson, Doctor Fink, Brown Mark, Apollonia, Jill Jones, and Mayte to see if any of them would be willing to come on the show. Of course, I am going to need help with recruiting and also with writing questions for each and any of the potential guests.

Who's with me?

Now you're just being mean.

The show is on in 57 minutes!

Just realized I said "See you next week" at the end, when I meant to say "See you Wednesday."

squirrelgrease said:

And I was in the minority on that one!

ernestsewell said:

You did good Squirrelgrease! When I think of Emancipation I think of Face Down First. Great f you song, he did awesome live performances with this track, and the video was funky as well.
Fenwick, good music my friend; I'll be sure to check out your site.
Ernest, as usual, you are a natural and a joy to listen to.
Chris, kudos to you for remembering to plug your guests. You've certainly had some terrific ones on. I'd get so wrapped up in prince conversations, I'd forget to mention my guests material. You REALLY should be proud of yourself because your show seems to get better each week!

Elle85n09 said:

Thank you, Elle. It's too bad the show ended before the last song was over!

bluefish said:

I noticed that too, but surely Fenwick understands. Personnal question, so if you prefer not to answer I'll understand. Do you have to pay for your on line radio show? If you do, how can fellow orgers offer support?

bluefish said:

Hi Sandra

Thank you so much for the compliments on the music. Feel free to reach out any time.

Chris, Ernest, Squirrel, I don't know about you guys, but for me that was a T.O.N of fun! Thanks so much for calling in and Chris, thank you again for having me on.

The reason the last song cut out early is because we were all having a blast talking. No worries!

Fenwick

Fenwick said:

I totally had fun. I'm always afraid I'll start rattling too much, so I have to watch it. I'm glad that the COME joke went over well, at least. hahaha

If ya'll weren't talkin' about ONA so much, we could have covered COME and Emancipation both! LOL

Fenwick said:

It was a real pleasure to have you on, Fenwick. You're welcome back any time.

It was great to hear from squirrelgrease! Really nice to put a voice to a name, as it were.

Ernest is quickly becoming an integral part of the show! I greatly appreciate the insight and humor he brings to discussions. The two of us together are like
the purple equivalent of Siskel & Ebert, I think.

bluefish said:

My juvenile side kept giggling when I realized there were two johnsons on the show.

ernestsewell said:

When the hell is Imago getting back from Thailand? Once he's back, Ernest, he, and I can enjoy a two-hour COME fest.

Wait, that came out all wrong.

ernestsewell said:

Four, if you count yours and squirrel's!

bluefish said:

PS You did say "Speak of the devil".

ernestsewell said:

Yeah I caught that too.


Four Johnsons....

ernestsewell said:

For me there was no rattling at all for any of us. You definitely help keep the party moving. I thought we could have just as easily continued on for another hour. Great show.
