Extras in purple rain movie

is lists Dez Dickerson pretty high in the credits. correct me if im wrong but isnt the only time he appears, is when he's doing the song 'modernaire'?

also, why are the other two appolonia 6 members, utter skanks?

and it says the fat bar owner plays himself? does he really work at first avenue?

also it says God is the love theme in the film? i don't recall it being in the film.

Hey,I think Brenda and Susan look great in the movie smile

The song "God (Love Theme From Purple Rain)" is featured in the movie,but as an instrumental.


The character "Billy Sparks" is really named Billy Sparks in real life,so yes,he was playing himself.But he wasn't a bar owner,he was Prince's road manager at the time (I think).

I mentioned 'God' in another post. When Prince and Appolonia are getting it together, the instumental piece of music is 'God'. It's amazing and comes just after the crying girl loop. The vocal version is a b-side and is fairly awful.
I don't think the black girl in App 6 is too bad, but the blonde is a skank. I wonder what they are doing now.
The bloke who runs the bar's name is Billy Sparks. He's from Detroit.
I always thought that dez Deickerson song was called 'Mountain Bear'!! - Did Prince write/produce it??

I thought that Brenda (the blonde) was the only one who was actually a singer, and had a singing career before hooking up with Prince.

That's an amazing site..
It's funny how they crop up sometimes
Prince must have more web-sites than anyone else, but some of them are very hard to find

I admit, that was fairly stupid. But it does sound like he's saying "Mountain Bear" - not that "Modernaire" is much better.

when apollonia says 'c'mon kiss the gun' that's a bit like 'boner time'.

dez dickerson is pretty awful, but the song has a certain charm to it. I personally like the God version with vocals. It's funny. a lot like other prince stuff.

Yep, according to DMSR, Brenda's then husband, Roy, recalled how Prince was originally putting The Hookers together with Jamie Shoop and Susan, and he suddenly suggested that Brenda could be the third singer. Roy states that Brenda had been singing in bands back in Boston some 10 years or so before.

A person I once dated who was evidently ignorant in human anatomy was convinced that the line in 'Sex Shooter' - "..come on play with my affections" - was "come and play with my ERECTION". rolleyes Yes, women are known for their huge and frequent erections so that line would have made sooo much sense. lol He was pretty adamant that's what the line was, tho.

i think just by the fact that he has eyes, he's allowed to make that claim.
