Asking the audience to scream out your name is probably not a good idea when you’ve changed it to an unpronounceable symbol.

Idiot.
that is funny. but, of course, he changed it back to Prince.
So now he is The Artist Formerly Known as The Artist Formerly Known As Prince, or The Artist Formerly Known As The Artist Everyone Still Calls Prince.
Or what I’ve always reffered to him as. The Fruit.
LOL!! Super fruit…
? i dont get it
Yes this would have been funnier had it been done when he still went by the symbol.
nln: Prince changed his name to that funky symbol on that stage costume’s collar, and was typically referred to as “The Artist formerly known as Prince” as part of a dispute with a record label. Once the dispute was resolved to where he could put albums out with his creative control with the “Prince” name once again, he changed back.
So… what’s that famous symbol thats so hard to say?
It’s an ankh.
This is an ankh: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/46/Ankh.svg/321px-Ankh.svg.png
This is the symbol on his sleeve: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Theartist.jpg
(Because Wikipedia knows all.)
it really does!
It’s more of a male symbol than an ankh, but yes, there’s definitely an ankh shape.
It’s a combination of the male and female symbols. I usually pronounced it as a rude noise. (Whatever rude noise came to mind at the time.)
He’s hard to avoid commenting about when you live in Minneapolis….
I met Prince once. Pretty neat guy actually.
Did he kick you and your friends asses in basketball then make you pancakes?
No, but I wish.
Looks like the symbol of hermaphrodite to me.
yeah that was the idea actually
…”Dribniff!”…”I love you!”…
…”Ipcress!”…”I’m nothing without you!”…
…”Nambla!”…”Play ‘Little Sister!’”…
Oh, I thought it was pronounced “Stylised tao cross with intersecting hermaphraditic ankh.” But you’re right, it’s hard to say it in unison.
If Michael Jackson was the King of Pop, is this guy now The Artist Formally Known As King? Or is there no suitable heir and we now live in a Republic of Pop? I’m confused as to how the pop monarchy system works.
ROFL! Perhaps a pop coup d’etat? We may now be plunged into a dark age of pop anarchy.
…there’s more where that came from…
The tree of pop needs to be nourished with the blood of throwaway pop acts… BTW, I think that pic is flipped, if anyone cares.
He used to be called TAFKAP in Great Britain.

Thats a hermaphroditus symbol, lol!
Lol, it’s a good thing he changed it back, or everyone would start calling him ‘hermaphrodite’
