 Guitarist Dez Dickerson talked him out of it and he eventually became a confidant to Prince and later appeared in "Purple Rain" as a bouncer.This tour was also notable for Prince's new side group The Time joining him on tour and the resulting backstage drama and arising tension that developed between the two bands.Although The Time became superstars overnight with their debut album, "The Time", they were frustrated at the lack of input they contributed to the album as, with the exception of Morris Day, they did not write or play their own music and were only being paid as a live act.
