If you're a white guy and don't want to get called out during Family Name, perhaps you should download this PDF file, print it on an iron-on t-shirt transfer, make the shirt, and wear it at the concert... (note, will require Acrobat Reader 5.0)

:loL:

Ben, that's hilarious. Prince will probably laugh atbthis one! What if he gets mad! Somebody has to do this before I do, cause I think I might!

Oh man, that's wicked.

But I betcha he'd ask U what Ur real family name is and then come back after the break with some wisecracks on it.

There's no escaping Prince when in preach-mode.

Heh-heh... very clever.

Rich Baker ("computerblue"), who was two seats down from me at the Indianapolis gig, was selected as "Lynch." Had Prince picked me, I don't think I would have been offended, but I might have been slightly amused. Although I look white (and mostly am), I'm also part Native American--in fact, I'm eligible for full membership in the Abenaki tribe, and I plan on applying when I get around to it.

One of my ancestors was sent over from Europe to kill off the Abenaki and prepare an area for settlement. Instead, he wound up marrying one of them, and I'm a descendant of that union.
