not really. more like one who's watched a videotape of said party. i don't have 2 be there--i can pick up on from what the old-skoolers say/teach. mine!!! Hmmm...who would have the better idea of the War, a Vet or someone who read about it? Not the same but thanks for playing. Prince may be the purple Yoda, but Wendy & Lisa and Eric Leeds also sit on the Jedi Council. | |

Well, I was serious! I know u were, you all were lol Quit messin' with our heads, rd! y'all should have known from the git-go To be honest, when I read your post I kinda wondered, but I'm trying to be more positive today so I decided to just take what you wrote at face value and go with it. Guess I should always follow my gut instincts about things. ...And I still love W & L and miss 'em! | |

both would have somewhat biased opinions about it, so no one's the better. Not the same but thanks for playing.

I'm amazed that Prince had never heard of or listened to the Beatles until Wendy introduced him them. | |

JimmyNothing said: Good point rd. I remember reading somewhere that Lisa or Wendy introduced Prince to the Beatles prior to ATWIAD which is supposed to have influenced his "hippy album"
People use your heads here... ~KiKi | |

Anxiety said: I have a strong feeling that if a certain someone accepts a certain Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction (and that's a big IF, I know), there could be a strong chance of a certain Revolutionary Revival...don'tcha think? If the HOF could bring The Police and the Talking Heads back together for one night, then who knows...?
I don't rule anything out, but at the same time it would be just Prince they would induct if it happens in his first year of eligibility. Much like Springsteen's disgruntled E Street Band during his induction, the Revolution isn't eligible in 2004. This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes. | |

Handclapsfingasnapz said: i still do not get why folks hold w & l in such high regard...
I'm with you! W & L were okay, but I get sick of people talking about what an influence they were on Prince, blah, blah, blah. People act like their shit don't stink and that they can do no wrong. Let's be honest: If Prince had never hired W & L to play in his band the Revolution, we probably never would have even heard of them. Perish the thought! I'm totally sick of W & L at this point. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

This thread comes up time & time again in different variations.
Has this ever been a poll on the org? What do the org membership as a whole really think that W&L's contribution to the Prince sound was - irrelevant, marginal, important or a crucial turning point? It would be interesting to see... LaV? Ian? ----------------------------------------------------------------------
If u set your mind free, baby, maybe you'd understand | |
