Yes, it's true, O-+> (whatever that may be
) is going back to being plain ol' freaky PRINCE. I heard an interview clip on the radio this morning. He said he used the symbol out of anger, and now that he doesn't "feel like punching someone" he has come to appreciate being addressed by his full given name (Prince Rogers Nelson).
I really don't care what he calls himself as long as he keeps making music. His newest CD ("Rave unto the Joy Fantastic") was MUCH better than the mess he had been releasing over the last few years. Of course, I still have all of those not-so-good CDs because I felt the need to continue my trend of owning everything the man makes including a tape copy of the unreleased version of the "Black" album.
Much love to all!
