as "somewhat" peers in the studio, as songwriters, editors, arrangers, and contributors.

Levi Seacer Jr. was more of an amalgamation of Jimmy & Terry, he pushed off of him. Then shelved him callously.

Then who came after that...motherfucking Kirky J.? ->http://youtu.be/gX3wGWHRlXQ

then less see...John Blackwell is just the best drummer he's ever had, hands down. He created a lot of space for Prince to get back to what he does best. But he's still just treated like a bad ass motherfucker on call. Which is cool.

Wendy and Lisa challenged that dudes comfort zone just by being who they were...bad ass chicks that wouldn't fuck him and had him doing his musical homework in his free time.

He couldn't take all that slow simmering ether knowing they were really taking it some place he wasn't invited...and it wasn't just some fey ass eyelash batting gimmicks.

Ain't nobody talked back or told that fool something sucked since...maybe Sheila, but I doubt that seriously.

s.blak
pretend all my opinions and fake insights on this subject are factual knowledge based on expertise...then it's your turn...then I'll say something, or somebody else will. o.k.? o.k.
