Wendy and Lisa reinvent themselves as the Girl Bros.
Excerpt:
--------------------------------------------------------------
Do people still think of you as Wendy and Lisa from Prince's
Revolution?
Constantly, and we've been gone longer than we were there. It's
ridiculous. Those were great times. They were our college years, but
there was life before it and life after it. And we were musicians
before we joined Prince's band. But being in the pop world, that's
where our visibility was. That's where it starts and stops, what you
are most visible at. And the establishment doesn't like to try and see
whether you can fit into another genre. They just want to see us as
the girls who were in Prince's band.
Do you still keep in touch with Prince?
When last we spoke he wanted us to do a reunion for the VH1 honors,
and we thought, oh that could be a really cool idea. We'd go onstage
and do like four of the old tunes on a couple of acoustic guitars and
a piano. You know, like really strip it down, get rid of all the
fluff. He came back to us with a proposal that we would dance through
the audience with these outfits on and have a huge parade of people
behind us, waving banners and playing like five of the songs, but only
like ten seconds of each song and the rest is just jamming. We were
like, how about if we do it this way, no one else onstage but the
three of us, no big deal, la la la -- that would really be something.
We never heard from him again. That was two years ago.

More specifically, Prince wanted Lisa to enter wearing a keyboard and doing
weird stuff. She had said that wasn't quite her thing, and said she'd
rather not do it. Prince then dropped the whole idea. W&L both were
excited at the prospect of the whole thing, but Prince didn't get his way,
and that was that.
