Why they might be annoying:

    Lisa said of Prince, 'He's like a fancy lesbian.'
    Wendy complained that record company execs expected them to look like Vanity or Apollonia: 'They wanted us to be like the centerfold for Hustler.'
    They came out as (by then ex-)lovers a good two decades after anyone still cared (2009).

Why they might not be annoying:

    They have been friends since childhood, when their fathers worked together as session musicians.
    They worked well as foils to Prince in 'Purple Rain.'
    They moved on to scoring movies and TV shows, winning an Emmy for composing the title theme for Nurse Jackie (2010).
