T Everlastingnow..That Parade show wouldnt have been as loose and funky and fun if he didnt have the inspiration and comaradarie of his boys up there with him. Point fucking blank. The previous Rev shows were just stiff and cold. Just because you cant get with it doesn't mean jack shit. I dont expect you to understand or admit that theres soemthing underneath that comes out to make shit groove. DONT FUCK MY ELECTRIC SLIDE JUST CAUSE YOUR BIASED SELF CANT GET WITH IT...look out..get out the way..move over.-Morris


Did you even see this tour?? No need to be a little bitch about this either.


Look whos talking..you're the one whos kising the hairpie of carpet munchers inc. taking offense to any criitcism of them.
Uh huh--thats what I thought


Okay you've ventured off into just plain stupid, enjoy your journey wave

I think Rd should wear EverlastingNow's moonwraps for just one day, look himself in the mirror and feel good about it.

Be sure to tell Wendy and Lisa that someone was mean to you about their history etc.

oh, okay, I haven't read the book in ages, so I vaguely rememeber what it said. I've always thought the only reason why Wendy became the "star" was because of his relationship with Susanna therefore when that ended--nevermind.


She was made a star due to her positioning in the PR film and tour ..I believe that was before Prnce started dating her sister.

somehow the break-up of the Revolution always confuses me, since I don't see Wendy as being big-headed.
Boy, I can't wait til EverLastingNow reads this.


Well of course there is going to be bad blood etc but lets see..Wendy had no problem with her sister going out with Prince knowing his track record etc. And yes maybe things did not work out betwen them and he was somewhat cruel lets say..aren't you a professional? Everything is peaches n cream as long as you got you firm positioon in Princes thing, got your sister even fronting a group by Prince (the family) but heaven friggin forebid things go wrong relationship wise..cool. Begone..SOTT and Lovesexy are brewing on the backburner.


1st- He started dating Susanna somewhere in '83


And then Im sure most knew she would not be exclusive for the most part at that beginning


2nd- Wendy DID have a problem with her sister dating Prince


when..at thebeginning? Only thing I know of is that she had a problem having her be so involved together in what she did...never showed at the beginning when she was being made a star

3rd- I'm not putting it all on Prince, I just think there are other factors in the breakup of The Revolution besides Wendy's supposed "big head". Matt Finnk and Bobby Z. also had a problem with Wally & Greg, I suppose they had a big head too.


I know others had issues as Matt said so...but it was Wendy who made a pressing issue of it and in her manner. And Im not putting it all on Prince either..Im putting it heavily on Wendy.



Dude, what the hell are you smoking anyway? Wendy owe you money or something? You're really making Wendy sound like her character in Purple Rain, you DO know she was acting right? Most of the band felt that the "Revolution Pips" were unneccessary and they were. Bobby Z. in Uptown even said that the band didn't become a true band until Wendy joined, then they all gelled as a unit. I've read a lot of things about the break up but it still comes down to that Prince was moving on to new things, and if it was such a bad breakup why does he still want to play with them? People have turned this into some big fued where that's not the case.

if wally and 'em was so unneccesary how come the parade tour is one of the best tours Prince ever put on?? I believe the ENTIRE BAND (including those three) were what made that show tight.


They didn't have a damn thing to do with the music now did they? You can LISTEN to the Parade tour and know that it was on of his best but you can't really hear the Pips dancing now can you? The tightest thing about the Parade tour was the musicians PERIOD.


They didn't have anything to do with the music, but they were a part of the overal show aesthetic. What is it you have against those three? Prince was paying tribute to JB's old soul revues of the 50s and 60s, isn't it obvious?


Oh yeah I forgot these are your cousins and it's personal for you. Yes it is obvious but the whole point was, were they necessary??? No. Would the show have still been one of the greatest? Yes. rolleyes

how do YOU know that for sure? You don't. All you can go is your opinion, you dont like them, so you dont think they fit in the show...was it so wrong for Prince to want to hang out with his boys?? And what WAS Wendy and Fink's problem with them? God forbid Prince should want to hang out with the brothas if he wants to rolleyes

i agree with the notion that Parade is an "astonishingly rewarding near-miss". It would have been nice for some of the tracks to have been a bit longer, especially New Position. Imagine a 4-minute version of New Position as the 2nd single??

Like so many Prince albums, Parade wasn't served well by the choice of singles. Kiss was a natural, but Mountains was a poor choice. I assume that the obvious choice for 2nd single, Girls and Boys, was passed over in the US because at the time it would have been too steamy for US radio (the cutest ass...). But I've always felt that Anotherlover.. would have been a top 10 hit had it followed Kiss, if it had a cool video.


I can't imagine a 4-minute single of "New Position", as it is far too challenging and quirky for the mainstream.

About that specific song I tend to agree with you, but at the same time many people at WB thought the same thing about "When Doves Cry" when they first heard it...actually so did I. That song was just something I couldn't put a finger on as to WHY I found it odd at the time.

Alot of people found Doves Cry odd because they were use to hearing drums,bass guitar blah, blah and the whole band thing but the BASE was there just not the bass guitar. The vocals took the place of the other instruments. It sort of made some start to think outside the box so far as composition is concerned. Doves cry actually had bass in it but funny things happen when you go to mix and realize that your vocals really hold up on their own. Great song

He could have released Last Heart and Woderfull ass as singles they would have burned the charts down in 1986 + All My Dreams as a ghost track on the Parade CD
Well, the "he should, he could, why didn't he "usual blah blah


Surely you are not suggesting that Last Heart and Wonderfull Ass are better thatn Mountains, Girls & Boys, and Anotherlover??? Please, they are fine and dandy in their way, but apart from being one of his finest albums, Parade also had probably the best quartet of singles he has ever released.
