Was there any ill feelings between Jerome & Morris - since Jerome went on to be part of the Family, the Revolution and UTCM after Morris quit the Time?

I mean had the Time still been together would Jerome have gotten to do any of those things?

Since he went back to the Time later on and to this day, I guess they are cool, but I wonder what it was like in 1985/6 with Jerome still being in the Prince camp.

For a while there,Jerome was going back and forth between the Prince camp and the "ex-Time members" camp...lol...in 1986,he made a cameo in Janet Jackson's "Control" video (with Jam and Lewis).I heard that Prince got so pissed,he took him off the payroll.

Something must of happened after Purple Rain.

Just the fact that Prince bought out Jerome during "Baby Im A Star" each night during the PR tour and done the "Jungle Love" dance together, really must have pissed Morris off, Prince's dig at Morris.

Prince also knew that Morris wanted to do acting, so having Jerome as his sidekick in UTCM was maybe Prince's attempt to make Jerome a star to undermine Morris.

It's good 2 see all is well now

Remember, Jerome is the only person, besides Prince that was in EVERY film Prince has created (PR, SOTT, UTCM, GB).

What exactly is Jerome's purpose in any of these things? Does even play any musical instruments? Does he sing? What's the point?

Just curious...

I think he was Prince's "fluffer" for the movies...if ya know what i mean.

First...Jerome wasn't in SOTT

and second.. I think that one of the worst things about GB was the way that a magical combination (Morris+Jerome) was poorly written into the movie. I mean they were the only two good actors in the whole movie.. yet the scenes in the script were hella-lame.

Seriously Becky Johnston had the perfect character for Jerome in Tricky when she wrote Under the Cherry Moon.
