Just a Thought

Have you ever thought that Prince is actually "Prince" Formerly Known As "The Artist" Formerly Known As "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince" Formerly Known As "Prince"? We won't even get into that symbol thing...

I do think he is the best pop musician of his generation (which is my generation). Favorite lesser-known Prince song: "Vicki Waiting" off the Batman (non-)soundtrack.

POSTSCRIPT: Someone has written a brief piece entitled "Prince and his relationship with his own name"; by now, that could be the subject of a Ph.D. thesis.

On a related note, whatever happened to Terence Trent D'Arby after he became "Sananda Maitreya"? "Wishing Well" is my favorite Prince song not actually by Prince.
