How to pronounce Prince's new name
Keith Ammann
The man formerly known as Prince should now be referred to as
"Squiggle," since the symbol is both unpronounceable and
irreproducible in text transmission.
The newsgroup alt.music.prince should be changed accordingly, to
alt.music.squiggle. Please call your local DJs and entertainment
writers to inform them that they should now refer to this man as
"Squiggle" any time they are faced with having to translate the
-- well, squiggle.
Perhaps if an entire nation begins referring to Squiggle as
Squiggle, he will recognize the true price of his pretentiousness.

(btw: ever heard of Squiggle referred to as:
A midget dipped in oil and rolled in pubic hair....
...just wondering.

Not true! 0+> gave a very obvious pronounciation
guide in the first song of the album of the same name,
which should be pronounced like ``funky''. Simply:
``My name was Prince, but now it's 0+>,
``When it comes to 0+, I am a 8+>...''

I agree entirely. We could call him "Mr. Squiggle" to show our
true respect for him. In Australia there is a kids TV show,
"Mr. Squiggle". Mr. Squiggle is a puppet with a big pencil for a nose.

Think I preferr the "Midget dipped in pubic hair" thingy.

And let us not forget Bill Steamshovel, who blows great gouts of cocaine over
everyone in the show (well, powder pretending to be smoke, but he makes a good
coke-freak puppet anyway). Bill also keeps lunging noticably after the
host's tits as well, the dirty old beast. The puppeteer must be a real deviate.
Uugh...hurry up, hurry up....

but there was an article in the Mpls. paper about people's reaction to this
and what they thought we should call our hometown pride and joy....
In general the additudes were that of disgust and boredom. The answers ranged from "herm" for hermaphrodite to mysterious illness, one woman said she was
changing her name to a cross between U-turn symbol and a semi-colon but
she was still working out the details.
I think hes having a mid-life crisis.

The new name is pronounced "VICTOR".....the symbol that represents his name
has each letter of "VICTOR" in it in some form(e.g., the arrow tip is the V)
In his last album, he states what his new name is....and the sacrifice for it
is NPG.
see ya
Jason Palm
I agree with this. I was listening to this song for the first time in quite
a while the other day. When he talks to Kirstie Allie at the beginning of the
song and she asks him what his name is, he says "Victor," and he says it in
the song at the end. I was also thinking about O+> having all the letters in
it, but I really couldn't see the "c" in it.
