Maybe he will also need a brain replacement after all the mental straining it took to come up with a symbol to replace his name and then explaining it to the drivers license bureau!

LOL. Yeah, I forgot about that one. Wasn't that a fun period for news and entertainment reporters -- finally, they came up with "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince." Was that lame or what?

I actually like the guy's music. But he seems to be like most celebs nowadays-- always doing something tacky (or downright outrageous) to sell records. Silly to me. He should just let his work speak for itself. Doesn't need all the embellishments.

To be fair, that was all about a contract dispute and not any weird artistic statement. His record company essentially owned "Prince" and he wanted out, so he changed his name without really changing his name. Once the record company gave up, he went back to being Prince. You see the same thing with bands breaking up--a lot of the time it's less about "artistic differences" and more about getting out of a bad contract.

Angus Young literally sounds like a punch drunk boxer from all his head bangin' over the years.The effect on the brain is much the same as being pounded in the head.
