Is Madonna Refering 2 Prince In "American Life"?

In the American Life song she talks about Changing Her Name?

Anyone notice that?

I think the mention had to do with Changing her name, to get ahead.

Did'nt Prince do that?

he changed his name at one point, but it wasn't 2 get ahead in anything. listen 2 the song again and you'll see that the prince reference u suspect ain't there at all.

It could be, just as Prince could be referring to Madonna in the song "My computer", when he says:

"I called an old friend of mine just the other day
No congratulations, no respect paid
All she did was wonder if the rumors were true
I said - "No, I ain't dead yet, but uh.. what about U?"

Prince used prince to get ahead.

Now he is Free = ahead~

Should I change my name is something wanna be stars think about. I am bored with Madonna saying that in a song if it is'nt influenced by the one and only best musical artist of our time that changed his name and told the record companies to go lay FACE DOWN.

Yes Madonna you should change your name, you probably could get ahead. Warner Brothers probably has your Name under contract as well. The name Prince was trademarked right?
The name prince was never under contract. And now the name Prince is not under contract either.

Correct me if I am wrong, but prince got our boy Prince ahead.

I didn't think this was about Madonna
I thought this was a response to that San Francisco radio station that broadcasted back in 95 / 96 that Prince had died, he must of got a phone call, it may have been Madonna

That radio station is Wild 94.9 and I remember that whole stunt.I get a call from my mother,she's crying and all hysterical,saying "turn on the radio...they're saying that Prince is dead!!".This created a HUGE uproar here in the Bay Area.The DJs involved (Elvis and J.V.) claimed that Prince himself *approved* of this ill-advised stunt.I was shocked to hear that!
