I removed the categorization of LGBT musician and lesbian musician from this article. I know that I've heard that about Lisa, Wendy, or both since day one. However, we need to have something verifiable per Wikipedia protocol. If there's a place where they've come out and said something publicly, please readd this to their individual articles and their group article, with sources.

Also, I removed the Prince protege tag. Wendy and Lisa are NOT Prince proteges. I realize it's a very fine line, but they were very clearly musicians in their own right and played in his band. I think the clearer definition of a protege would be someone like Vanity, Apollonia, etc - ie, he wrote all of their music for them, and produced their records. You can't say that about Wendy and Lisa. NickBurns 01:57, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I re-added the lesbian tag to both her and Lisa's page. The only concrete piece of information I can think of that more or less confirms their homosexuality is the story by Bobby Z (Revolution drummer) given to Alex Hahn's Prince biography "Possessed", where he says that when he asked Prince to reform the Revolution at the turn of the century ("1999" and all that) the then Jehovahfied Prince said one condition of him doing it would be for W&L to renounce their homosexuality. This is mentioned in passing, as if their homosexuality was common knowledge (which it basically is). I think this qualifies as a source, but it's common sense anyway really. They've never denied it, they never had any kind of romantic liaisons with Prince (unlike quite literally every other female he worked with during the eighties apart from Boni Boyer), and have been inseparable for two and a half decades. And, they've never denied it. Everyone assumes they are, and they don't correct anyone (and it cant be an act; they've not played it up for titillation purposes since the Computer Blue intro). --Jamieli 22:30, 17 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It would be nice the add a picture of Wendy on this page. Maybe when she was in the revolution?

Career begins after Prince?

Does it not seem odd that Wendy's career section begins after her stint with Prince? Do those days (and the days prior to Prince, if applicable) not count as part of her career? Kkbay (talk) 21:45, 25 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wendy Meloin

Wendy also plays guitar on the song my perfect mistake by Sheryl Crow 69.41.5.190 (talk) 02:33, 25 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Reference in Madonna Song?

According to the article, supposedly Wendy played on "She's Not Me" and is mentioned by name in it. But I can't find any reference for this.
