Andy Prieboy - Tomorrow Wendy

[@Venillian]

One of the saddest, and best, songs there ever was.

[@rustyshackleford8186]

Seasons in the Sun

[@JamesMichael333]

Agree completely

[@Kevin-py2hf]

U are a dam liar

[@aimformyheadplease]

Sooo agree!!! Around campfires if someone pulls out a guitar I start off with a long picking pattern to get attention and play and sing this song and everytime every woman just BAWLS their eyes out (and every guy is trying hard not to). Take that Wonderwall!!! Seriously, the JFK imagery, just a touch, so much of this song feels like lyrics painted onto canvass, just beautifully perfect.

[@ohffsnoway]

I’m having a bit of the sads and am putting together a playlist of songs that have made me cry, for my offspring. So many years, still goosebumps

[@eliphaslevi9589]

"If he ever suffered it was me who did his crying "..- gotta be the most powerful lyric I've ever heard. Period. Such a transcendent song. Beautiful.

The location of the dive bars in this video was State Line Ave. between Hammond Indiana & Calumet City Illinois, just outside the southside of Chicago. They were all demolished in the '90's. A good friend Tiny had an apartment right behind the ZIG ZAG Tavern in the 1980's. Tiny passed away from HIV in 1991.

[@larryeugene]

I learned today Andy Prieboy was born in LA, but he was raised in East Chicago Indiana, which is the same area on the state line . It's a heavy industrial area with steel mills and oil refineries.

[@ataraxigrace822]

[@menckenwolf]

My mother did her residency as an x-ray technician at Saint Margaret's hospital in Hammond, near bar row. The bars were along state line because Indiana has cheaper taxes on liquor and cigarettes and allowed strippers to show more, but Illinois allowed liquor sales on Sunday. It was a really seedy place, and my mother had stories about the acts of idiocy she saw in just 3 months. The emergency room had a machine designed to take cue balls out of mouths. It's a sucker bet. It's easy to get the ball in, but the jaw will lock, making it impossible to get the ball past the teeth. Usually cost more for the emergency room visit then the money they won in the bet. Some of the dive bars are from East Chicago and other places that were hit hard by the closing of the steel mills in the 1980s. Hammond became a ghost town and still hasn't recovered. Prieboy has said that he also used the dying cities as inspiration, as well as his grandfathers dying of cancer in the wake of the mill closings.

[@phoenixme74]

Thank fuck the original is still out here! Bless this man for memoraliizing his friend. How long has it been, and we remember her name.

[@jwookie25]

Fucking truth man

[@larrydyer2495]

Yes, the song is about a heroin addict prostitute who contracted AIDS in the 80s

[@pauly260]

In a way, Wendy never died. You only truly die the last time anyone speaks your name. Wendy lives on in our hearts and songs thanks to her friend Andy.

[@akashik]

This song's a constant bookmark for me. It's coming close to a quarter century old, but remains one of the greatest songs.. you've never heard before. Kudos Andy. Johnette's version is cool too.

@joy division - yep, that’s the best version by far

[@_JimS]

Been a Johnette Napolitano/Concrete Blonde fan for years and love this song, and today I finally sat down and researched it through the references from a LIVE Concrete Blonde recordings. Now this song is complete for me, knowing the history and will have a deeper meaning each time I listen. It is bitter where a trouble person gave up on life but sweet poor Wendy will be memorialized thru song. BRAVO Andy and Johnette...

[@isadore7221]

When the female part comes in it fills my heart with this indescribable feeling. It's powerful and beautiful and heartbreaking.

[@balthusT1]

Performed by Johnette Napolitano of Concrete Blonde, who also covered this song with Prieboy on keyboards. She has an incredible voice.

[@markkane1685]

Yeah, she does that to anyone. Johnette Nepalotano

[@kainguru]

Totally- Nepalotano's powerful voice was Concrete Blonde

[@AussieMark909]

This song never fails to send shivers up my spine. Love the power of music.

[@pauly260]

"Tomorrow Wendy" was inspired by the suicide of a woman who Prieboy had known from a young age when they were both growing up in East Chicago, Indiana. Wendy later turned to prostitution and drugs, and when she was diagnosed with HIV, she decided to commit suicide by taking a heroin overdose rather than go on to die of an AIDS-related disease. Prieboy told the Los Angeles Times in 1991, "Wendy was the type that just bided her time, took drugs, and took what was offered to her. [Her suicide] was the one big [time] in her life when she took charge. Basically, the song is a conversation she's having with the mirror. These are the feelings of rage that Wendy felt." Prieboy also took inspiration from the economic state of his hometown when writing the song. He told the Los Angeles Times in 1990, "It's also about the death of a city in the Industrial Age. Places like Gary and Pittsburgh were once the backbones of America, and now it's like the Depression all over again. People have lost their homes - it's the end of a way of life. And there's lots of Wendys out there." The deaths of Prieboy's two grandfathers from cancer was part of the inspiration behind Wendy's questioning of faith in the song, "I watched them go through a long period of rage and anger and atheism, railing at the God they'd worshiped all their life. Sooner or later, they accepted it. Wendy never accepted it." Prieboy began writing "Tomorrow Wendy" while touring with his band Wall of Voodoo. He wrote a total of 27 verses for the song and then whittled them down to three. Prieboy recorded "Tomorrow Wendy" for his first solo album ...Upon My Wicked Son. He felt the song needed a woman's voice in addition to his own and contacted Napolitano, who agreed to provide vocals on the track. Napolitano recalled in 1990, "Andy called me to sing 'Tomorrow Wendy' with him, and I did it, and as I listened to it and listened to it and listened to it, I thought, 'This is really important, and the words are incredible'." What you just read was the Wikipedia article on "Tomorow, Wendy". I just wanted to add how it's important that as many people as possible listen to this gorgeous song. It's said that you truly don't die until the last time anyone speaks your name. In a way, Wendy lives forever thanks to Andy and Johnette.

rage. Excellent. When abc was ACTUALLY the best television station in Australia. When abc WAS leading edge. Before the pretense. So glad this clip was posted. Thank you. Great song. Great show. A once great tv station.

[@KyDarkWatch]

There's a greater sense of angst, desperation and sense of loss in this more so than the Concrete Blonde cover and I am a HUGE CB fan. I love this version.

[@buckrogers7498]

When I listen to this song, I listen to it at least twice in a row.

[@Thehighwayman429]

My two friends and I got taken to dinner in NYC by Dr. Dream Records, along with a half dozen other fellow college radio peeps, back in 1990 at the CMJ convention. It was a chance to meet Andy, there supporting his first solo LP, and network and have a nice meal on the company's dime. Andy and I chatted for some time and discovered we had grown up in the same decaying industrial town, just that we were 15 years and 1500 miles apart. He encouraged me to follow my dreams of becoming a musician after school. My band lasted from 92 until 97 and we didn't quite make it, but we came really close and I'll always remember that night in NYC. Thank you, Andy.

[@TheHeroOftenFails]

keeping in mind this IS the original artist who actually wrote the song, Concrete Blonde (Johnette) COVERED it - with Andy's blessing. I saw both tour together oooh 100 years ago and do the song on stage together - GREAT SHOW, but I really wish Andy would get his rightful props for this song. Thank you Andy!

[@aimformyheadplease]

Yaaaassss!!!! I’ve *always* considered that first Cars album as the beginning of the 80s, I bet I’ve said that a thousand times in my life. And reallyyy with Heartbeat City they very much anticipated a lot that became incorporated in top 40 music across the board almost (think boy bands and teenage diva pop singers backing music). The Cars were my favourite band from 78 until probably 1985, and there was some stuff competition in there (shout out to Andy Preiboy though, someone I consider a true contemporary).

[@jonathanwoods9843]

The first time I heard this song was in 1989 or 90 when Andy sang it live at Bogarts in Long Beach, CA. He'd been called in at the last minute to open for Exene Cervenka. He played the piano, gave a bunch of witty comments, and sang the female parts of the song in a higher-pitched voice. I'd never heard of him before, but when he introduced himself and said he'd been in Wall of Voodoo, that got my attention. He played for nearly an hour simply winging the entire performance without a hitch.

[@wesjohnson1783]

Wow. Had no idea this was the original artist, and then, wow, no idea Johnette was involved too, (until I heard her voice). Made my day to find this.

[@adamhayes1831]

He signed to my dad's record label Doctor Dream, my pops produced the song originally

[@Lakeweirdog]

This is the original version and most people who think it sucks hadn't even been thought of when it was released. It was artists like Andy and others of his era that helped to shape today's music. In today's music your lucky to find any that hasn't been digitally altered. Here's to the 60's 70's 80's

[@henchmen999]

Dude, this version was released in 1990. I have the album.

[@georgebovell5081]

So very true, not many realise Andy Prieboy had written & sang this just prior to the duet with Johnette of Concrete Blonde❤

[@gonzoalex23]

45 years old, and not a day goes by that I don't think about this song. I miss so many of you that left before me.

[@brentalanadamlandgrave7635]

Andy definitely wrote a great song, but it needs to be said, the version Concrete Blonde did is {chef's kiss} absolutely legendary and timeless.

[@wanderalmeida9584]

True!

[@mrspindlethorn]

Wow.. glad I was directed here

[@conblonde]

CB closes every show with this song, at least the ones that I've been to...

[@ripperduck]

A song not just about the death of a woman, but the death of youthful optimism. Never really understood the reference to JFK's death and moonshots until I became older. When we were young, we actually did believe that the world was open to us. I know I did, all the way through college, thinking that it would always be like this, supposedly learning important stuff, having the love of young, beautiful women. Then life intrudes and educates you, people die, bills have to be paid, love ends, if it really existed, aspirations die in a ditch. You wonder why it had to be like this and you try to piece it all together, if you can. Great story....

[@newdawnfades8638]

Yes. And that's why people older than, say, thirty, are considered worthless in this culture. If our insights were valued, young people would perhaps listen and then critique what they were being sold.

[@gary9355]

hi could you please explain to me what the reference to JFK's death and moonshots mean. i have loved this song from the first time i heard it over 18yrs ago but i've never understood the reference to those things

[@nickekdahl4801]

I think it's best they learn it on their own. They may learn much different lessons than what we have.

[@gary9355]

thank you Emery Calame

[@kohgamingchannel9007]

Prieboy signed with MCA Music Publishing as a songwriter and went to work on new material for his first solo record ...Upon My Wicked Son, which featured the song "Tomorrow Wendy," about a woman dying of AIDS. The song featured a duet with Johnette Napolitano, whose band Concrete Blonde also recorded the song and released it on their album Bloodletting the same year. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Prieboy, was just about a woman dying from aids, said it himself, might want to do some reading, left the source material for you, this song is quite literally what person goes through before death

[@anthonydelossantos9270]

When the 40th anniversary of the first news report of the AIDS epidemic happened earlier this month, I listed to both versions of this song. I listened in memoriam for all those that were lost to this disease...

[@robynwa8552]

such a relaxing song during covid times

[@weirdunclebob]

This is the definitive version for me followed closely by CB's. Andy has such a powerful and emotive voice and it's a shame people don't want to admit that this is even good because of their loyalty to Concrete Blonde. If it weren't for Andy, this song wouldn't exist.

[@quint4052]

His voice gives it a different view if you will that when combined with her voice is excellent IMHO

[@cmm_1989]

Couldn’t agree more. And this masterpiece belongs to Andy Prieboy. What a powerful song.

[@theresaamick]

Yeah he DOES have a super emotive voice. I couldn’t have said it any better. I just learned on Twitter (Eric Alper’s page - lots of music trivia questions) that Prieboy wrote & performed it in 1990, did a duet w Johnette in 90 & she released it w CB the same year. I just assumed & I’d read the inside covers, that this was a CB song. Definitely have to give credit where credit is due. He’s so unique, I’ll have to see what else he does. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@markblanch2905]

The best version is their "Live At The Wireless" one

[@prittywynzi663]

I'm chilled. This song is so beautiful and wonderful.

[@thepanel2935]

Yes, Andy Prieboy joined Wall Of Voodoo after their original vocalist, Stan Ridgway, left the band. Prieboy wrote this song about a prostitute he knew who made a decision to take her own life (by over-dosing on heroin) rather than slowly die of AIDS, which she had contracted. When recording it, he got Johnette Napoltana to sing the female vocal part. She then sought permission to record her own version of the song with her band Concrete Blonde. Both versions are quite similar.

[@Scottydont66]

This song still gives me chills

[@blakekrasner8188]

Have you ever met a legend. I was at a party a long time ago and Andy Prieboy was sitting in a corner staring at his shoes. He looked very depressed but everyone left him alone...

Listen to Australian singer Broderick Smiths version. Fabulous. Saw Andy Prieboy concert many years ago and it was amazing. Such a powerful song. Passed on my love of this song to my kids.

I know it's Andy's storytelling and music, but it's as if shit went right one of those few times it does. Because Johnette's voice can somehow let you hear the pain this woman actually experienced, not feel but hear. We will never know what Wendy felt, but I know I cry my eyes out for her whenever I hear this song. I have since the day I heard it first in 92, I found it in a car that was being junked. I liked the song Joey and gave the CD a listen and I still have it to this day. Great music moves you, this is great music.

This was the first version and video I saw of "Tomorrow Wendy" and I have been hunting for a lot of years to find the version with Andy and Johnette Napolitano singing it together. I had only been able to find Concrete Blonde's version previous to now. I never knew Andy's name, so I ended up not being able to find this version anywhere. This is original is really my favorite. Such emotionally charged vocals from both of them.

[@truefunksoul8638]

Come on now in "a lot of years" you couldn't google the Concrete Blonde album to get the songwriter's name then go from there and order his original album from Discogs to anywhere in the world delivered to your door? Anyway you might be interested in a raw 'Day One' original version he released in 2016: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqOcdKSDiM92nJY

[@shaynes.9773]

@@truefunksoul8638 The original time I had heard "Tomorrow Wendy", it was this video on Canada's MuchMusic in 1990. It was before I had the internet and before Discogs. I just assumed the duet version was the version by Concrete Blonde. I had no idea of who Andy Prieboy was. In all honesty, when I saw the video and heard his voice originally, I thought he was Andrew Eldritch from Sister's of Mercy...lol. Forward fast to the late 90s, when I finally did have dial-up (yikes! So slow... ha ha) and a Windows 98 computer-- info was still pretty scarce and I never owned "Bloodletting" to check the credits on who the songwriter was. It was over the last year or two that I started wondering again about this song. This time it was a millions times easier finding the info and this video. So yes, from the first time I saw this video, a number of years had passed-- 1990 is over 30 years ago. To be honest, it is only this year that I actually signed up to Discogs and I have already spent so much money on there. I love the Discogs Marketplace. I am finally able to buy those all CDs that I had wanted back in the 90s. It just floors me that most of those albums are now out of print. Thanks for the recommendation of the "Day One" video. I appreciate it. Cheers.

[@HarryH33]

I only heard this for the first time on Saturday 10th June 2023 on a TV series, Brand New Cherry Flavour. I loved it so much I played it half a dozen times on the bounce. Then on Sunday I heard my best friend of 23 years had passed away - he was an alcoholic who couldn't help himself, despite me and friends trying to help him stop. Not really relevant to the backstory of this song, but because of the timing it will always remind me of him: Tomorrow James, you were a great guy drunk and sober(ish). Never heard of either Andy or Johnette before, but her voice is so effing beautiful I could listen to this all night and think of the good times James and I had together before the alcohol took hold of his life. RIP mate.

The arrangement is very similar on both versions, and I'm not taking anything away from Prieboy, but this really came alive when Johnette sang it...he must have recognized that when he had her guest on his version...

I had a temperature of about 104 (seriously), had never heard of CB before (heard Joey on the radio), was walking around Seattle while on a day pass as my National Guard unit was preparing for the Gulf War at Ft. Lewis and just happened by the venue, bought a ticket, and CB became my favorite band at that night. It was amazing. Don't know how I would have survived the 90s without Johnette and CB.

[@PiratesFan1992]

concrete blonde was so underated in their time people dont even know what your talking about when u mention them but i grew up listening to them and type o negative and i listen to them to this very day and know their histories and id love to see CB live since type o negative is no longer active

Been listening to this song, it's been my favorite song, since I was pretty young, from bloodletting, but there is a live version from her, live in Brazil, that I think really caught the emotion, howevor, it's recently been removed from KZbin, anybody have any CLUE how I might find it, again?

I went and seen CB on my birthday in Phoenix in 2011 ... I too grew up listening to them and was so disappointed. I don't know if it was the venue, or Johnette's cracking vocals ... but I hope you get to see them and it's a better experience for you! I still listen to them to this day too, regardless of the bad live experience :)

Never knew the Concrete Blonde version was a remake until right now. Both versions are good!!!!

[@MsNovemberry]

His voice reminds me of Peter Murphy. This, of course, is a very good thing.

[@kakstin]

Minus the accent, yeah, it kind of does.

[@nuriabalbinaobiang4804]

[@TATER1971]

I love this song

[@Justentime77]

I thought forever that Johnette Napolitano wrote this song for the bloodletting album! Learn something new everyday....

[@wmnoe]

Great song, no matter who is singing it.

[@TATER1971]
