session 2

?: How has the Minneapolis music scene changed over the years? Is it what it used 2b?

: The scene in Minneapolis is about 2 go thru a major rezerection. Several artists r relocating here that think r very talented. Xpect great things in the near future.

?: Will we ever see a multi-disc, career spanning live set from you on cd or video?

: A Live set from me will surface when we stabilize the new system that improves with every independent release.

?: Quick question. Is NPG records taking on any new artists? If so, where can we send them? Or better yet, demos over the web for consideration?

: NPG is looking 2 re-group with young, daring flesh ready 2 conquer the Newmusic world! The slot 4 a guitarist, vocalist or poet is open, but we r very open 2 fresh ideas.

?: do u plan on touring the us soon and is mayte going to be in the show???

: Possible that we will gig in the summer of 2G's. Mayte is busy working on her own projects right now.

?: Who designs your clothing? How did you pick that person(s)?

: The majority of my gear is designed by Debbie McGuan with my guidance. Should we market some of it 4 u'all 2 cop, or is it a little 2 pimpish 4 ya?

?: I would like 2 ask U if U ever listen 2 Wendy & Lisa's solo work, and if U do, what do U think of it?

: follow my sisters work. No one plays colors like they do.

?: do u care about sales?

: don't care about sales. One listen 2 Around the World in a Day and u could tell that. Selling records independently adds me the freedom from charts. So paid we get up front. This eliminates royalties and Forrest Gump accounting. "A royalty check is like a box of chocolates: u never know what u're gonna get!"

?: What r the chances of u releasing some unreleased jams on your site as a pay per download basis?

: Glad u asked! Stay hooked 2 the OnlineLTD...it's about 2 get MADBUSY!

?: There is way too much violence taking place in the educational facilities. Five year olds shooting other five year olds, a two year year old pulling out a 1 1/2inch blade and striking another child with it. High school students taking the lives of their fellow classmates. Everyday the statics rise, and the children die. What can you suggest that will help lessen these disturbing acts of violence and ignorance on the part of parents and or guardians?

: Most kids 2day think that GOD does not xist. This is just a by-product of false teaching. Radical problems need radical solutions. Spirituality based in TheTruth should b brought in2 the schoolhouse NOW, because it's obvious that America's kids rn't gettin' it at home. Someone put these guns in2 the community. We should insist from r so-called political leaders that they become equally responsible 4 removing them.

?: On the track "Tangerine" you sing of taking her picture, use it as a coaster and drink the overflow. I think this is such a beautiful, fun line. What inspired you to think of it?

: Someone whose face was so ugly that when they look in the mirror their reflection ducks!

?: Why do artists such as D'Angelo, Lenny Kravitz, Maxwell, TLC, etc continue 2 contract themselves to their record company when the Artists' way of doin' things is SO obviously THE way of the future ?

: A combination of their contractual obligations and fear. The day we all stand 2gether 4 The Truth, there will b revolution.

?: What is ONE thing we could all do as individuals to make this world a better place?

: JESUS said it best: Love4oneanother

?: I heard "R U Ready" and something like "Bada Boom" (or whatever it was called) at a dance party at Paisley about two months ago; will these songs be released soon? I loved them, and would be grateful to own a copy of them.

: Larry is gonna release them on a future project. "R U Ready" is really dope! Rose Stone from The Family Stone is chirpingonthatone.

?: Whatever happened to the song "What Should Be Souled?"

: Coming out on CRYSTAL BALL 2.

?: When will the "Crystal Ball" video be released?

: As my Bible studies continue, it seems less likely now. The videos 4 those songs were so racy. Especially "18 and OVER".

?: Why did the 95 NPG (Michael,Tommy,Morris & Sonny) disappear so suddenly?

: Lifestyle change. So talented, they all r...but we all just needed a break from that nrg.

?: What is your favorite thing that you have recently bought?

: My new piano without a doubt. It's not only beautiful, but it plays like a prostitute.

?: Make musiclove to your piano and put it on a record, please?

: In the process now. Altho the recording will b private. Suchatease, no?

?: I was wondering if you've thought about creating a subscription service where on a monthly basis cd's of Live shows would be sent to the subscriber. I personally would love more live music from you. Friends can enjoy the shows that they could not attend and possibly get copies of shows attended.

: C answer 2

?: Do you think, that if you started out today with the same demands that they granted you back in the 70's(by giving you total control over your music) could you make it in this business today? And, if not, do you think you would be into the independent route?

: would like 2 state 4 the record, that the music business is an incestuous mess. If certain people rn't on the take, a young musician can end up hitless and broke. Look up the word independence. My picture is next 2 it! :) Kidding.
