Prince & the Revolution are moving farther and farther apart as a unit. This is happening just as The Revolution are at their most collaborative. Wendy & Lisa are clearly feeling themselves and BrownMark has had enough. Prince has visited the Mountain and the experience has left him unmoved. Sheila E. and Vanity are both launching film careers as Prince wraps Under the Cherry Moon in France. Hip Hop is in its ascendance. The Kid is pushing 30. The costumes are gone, the suits are on. Christopher Tracy is leading the Parade.
