NAME GAME The Artist Formerly Known as Prince announced yesterday that he can again be called just Prince. He explained at a NY press conference: ''On Dec. 31, 1999, my publishing contract with Warner/Chappell expired, thus emancipating the name that I was given before birth, Prince, from all long-term, restrictive documents. I will now go back to using my name instead of the symbol I adopted as a means to free myself from undesirable relationships.'' And just when we had learned to draw that silly glyph.

For example, May 16, 2000 -- press conference
"On Dec 31, 1999, my publishing contract with Warner expired, thus emancipating the name I was given before birth, Prince, from all long-term restrictive documents. I will now go back to using my name instead of the symbol that I adopted as a means to free myself from all undesirable relationships."

Radio interview: April 2004 (Mojo from Detroit)
"The reason I changed my name was to get out of my contract. Once i told the record company that I wasn't going to go by Prince anymore, I gave them an unprouncable symbol to deal with. Now at that point, they really didn't know what to think of me."

All I remember:

Prince said something like "let the baker bake the bread",

And this Q... Who would win a fistfight, you or Michael Jackson?:

Prince: "Michael Jackson is not a fighter he's a lover".
