In "Purple Rain", what were The Revolution's day jobs?

Because you know Billy didn't pay those poor kids very much.

I think Lisa was the meanest diner waitress in all of Minneapolis, especially if it was busy and she couldn't take her smoke break.

Brown Mark was a librarian, because it was the only job he could find where you didn't have to talk very much.

Wendy didn't have a job, but she sold Avon products (actually she forced people to buy Avon products from her - "Just buy the GOD DAMNED bath beads, okay? I'm getting REALLY TIRED of this.")

Bobby Z. was a hairdresser.

Dr. Fink was a veterinary assistant.

The Kid, of course, was "self-employed". His parents always threatened to kick him out because he wouldn't get a job nor would he even do the dishes or lift a finger to help clean up around the house. Ingrate.

I can see that.

LISA:Wendy, she doesn't want the bath beads.

WENDY:Shut the fuck up Lisa please, before I KILL you and shove these bath beads up your ass!

He didn't have no job. He was a momma's boy and she was letting him live at home for free, that's why his dad was so angry.

Father: You spoil the boy!

Mother: No I don't.

Father: SMACK!

I always thought that Wendy and Lisa were dog washers. Remember this part of PR?
Lisa: Wendy?
Wendy: Yes Lisa
Lisa: Is the water warm enough?
Wendy: Yes Lisa
Lisa: Shall we begin?
Wendy: Yes Lisa
Wendy and Lisa (in unison): This is the way we wash the dog, wash the dog, wash the dog...

Most people forget about that last part.

Regarding others in the movie, I don't know what Dez did, but he always wanted to be a Modernairre, but I don't think being a modernairre paid too well.
The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018. (www.amazon.com/gp/product/1538114623/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_bibl_vppi_i0) or www.facebook.com/groups/1...104195943/

You're funny. Except you are also guilty of forgetting. They weren't washing dogs in that water, but kitties. pussy
