My post #276 citing the 1985 RS interview with Neal Karlen, and the 1985 MTV TV interview. Both specifically state Wendy and Lisa's collaborations with Prince during that time. * Also, during his 1995 AMA speech Wendy, Susannah, and Lisa were the FIRST associates Prince thanked for helping him to achieve his success. The. First. | |

Yes, I think another analogy would have been better, but I guess it was the first idea she thought of during that moment. Live broadcasts don't allow much time to think off the cuff | |

violetcrush said: At any rate, I think they just want to talk about their experiences and explain the process of how some songs that they collaborated on came to fruition. It must have been pretty cool for Lisa to have a piano piece included on the Parade album that she had created as a teen Yeah, that's pretty cool, but then again Lisa's pretty cool Life Matters | |

If they all worked collaboratively, does it really matter who did what? Isn't it the result (ie the product) that counts? They all worked towards the same goal, not towards 'being singly recognised', or at least I thought they did... Life Matters | |

Are you sure about that? Because it is these associates who are seemingly want to be singly recognised.

* Actually, THEY were chosen by Prince, TO create the Revolution, so THEY EACH brought something to the table that Prince wanted for the band. He didn't train/teach them how to play before they joined. THEY had to meet his standards before being chosen. * AND, NONE OF THE ASSOCiATES HAVE EVER CLAIMED TO HAVE "CREATED" PRINCE. So COMPLETELY absurd. As Neversin stated, the stupidity on display here is staggering | |

Actually I think Neversin was talking about you.
They are trying to down play P's role at every level. | |

Imagine how broken your brain would have to be to consider commercial success the barometer of a good song. "I think people ought to know that we're anti-fascist, we're anti-violence, we're anti-racist and we're pro-creative. We're against ignorance." | |

He was COLLABORATING with The Revolution - not just instructing them on what and how to play - unless it was a song that he completed on his own, which was often the case. However, he also took contributions from the band during that time. | |

Right on, Vannormal!!! No bashing from me. Prince was the master of mystery and illusion. Dare I say we can put at least a smidge of the blame on him for why the die hard fans refuse to believe that any associate could and would have brought something to his music? ![]() | |

I wonder if Prince explained the lyrics to Wendy and Lisa as well. I've always wondered what those 17 mountains were about... Life Matters | |
- E-mail - orgNote - ![]() |
They've said a good few times that he refused to explain lyrics and would just give them a look if asked. "I think people ought to know that we're anti-fascist, we're anti-violence, we're anti-racist and we're pro-creative. We're against ignorance." | |

I think if you consider the lyric before the "17 mountains stood so high" - which is, "once upon a time in a land called fantasy..." * It seems he's opening the song explaining that it's a fantasy tale. So, in that respect, the random "17 mountains" makes sense. Although, it makes you wonder where the "17" came from - was it just a random number in his head at that time, or does it have some other significance to him? * I think these lyrics seem to say that despite the "devil" doing bad things to people and/or the world that in the end love will prevail over evil and hate.... *
"You said the devil told you that another mountain would appear
Every time somebody broke your heart He said the sea would one day overflow with all your tears And love will always leave you lonely I say it's only mountains and the sea
Love will conquer if you just believe (oh, yeah) It's only mountains And the sea There's nothing greater, you and me" | |

^^^ Nice references. Well, if Prince was familiar enough with the Bible at that time - which he most likely was, as he was raised in the 7th Day Adventist faith - then it's quite possible the 17 mountains, devil, and "love will conquer" lyrics are tied to the Bible references. | |
