Now Terence Trent D'Arby Changes his name!
Bron7319
This was a message from TTD posted to the Java Records web sight
(see second paragraph for name change)
Thank you all very much for being so loving and supportive. I have come
to realize as my understanding of these matters deepen, that a great
portion of your collective energy is what has been helping me sustain my
dedication to my purpose. As a magician, which all musicians are, I
understand what a blessed privilege it is to reflect your magic back to
you , so that we may experience the emotions that belong to us process
through them and realize that we are precious, that we are gold, that we
are God. That is why I am here, to remind you that you are the bomb.
Terence Trent D'Arby/Sananda To answer some questions··. To my
understanding we are dedicated to going to the next level as a live
band. We are like a family and I consider them a precious commodity. The
Album will be entitled "Terence Trent D'Arby's Solar Return". As with my
other album titles, it preceeded the beginning of the recording by a
couple of years. It will be released On Glen Ballard's JAVA label via
Capitol where so many of my heroes left some magic. I bare no
animosity to Sony, who, after all gave me the opportunity to communicate
to all of you. I am really excited about releasing "Solar Return" and
communing with you live.
The answer to your next question·. I took the name Sananda, which I will
not use professionally for awhile yet, however, my friends and fellow
servants reply to me as that. It was suggested that I take the name
Sananda in a series of dreams . I resisted at first, which is usually
our first reaction to change; but once I surrendered, however, I noticed
how very familiar it felt; now, Sananda is much closer to who I really
am and Terence Trent D'Arby is the vehicle through which Sananda will
let his light shine. I don't know what Sananda means and I have not
allowed myself to find out. I accepted it on faith, but I know it's
positive and I know it's good. In conclusion, I would like to finish by
saying I consider it a tremendous blessing to be on the planet Earth at
the same time as all of you.
Love, Grace, and Tolerance, TTD/Sananda '99

In a related story, I'm changing my name to "Guy Who Has Nothing Better To Do
Than Keep Up With The Whims Of Pretentious Pop Stars", because, apparently,
that's what all these @#%$#$ers seem to think I am anyways.

Just like in the case of Prince, it is a pathetic cry for attention-trying to
re-invent themselves due to the fact that the public has lost interest in them.
That whole spiritual palaver they both used as an explanation is PR for the
feeble minded. They can try-but they will never be able to escape from
themselves. In other words-shut the F*CK up and release your product. You can
change the word "crap" to "brown delight" but it's still crap.

At least TTD/Sananda gives us an explanation on what happened to him, and how
he is evolving. And he is A Jammin' Mother!!! Let's hear it from all fans of
music that moves you!!! :)

Certainly! I have his last two platters. "Symphony Or Damn" is a great record."
Vibrator" was a disappointment for me.. I just take issue with his public
persona. If you remember it was his ego(and his second album flopping) that
ruined TTD's career. He started bragging about how great he was as soon as his
first record hit!
He has an amazing voice.

Nice response! I also think he's a great musician, so he can do whatever
he wants to do! I really respect the fact that he releases music that
sounds like he thought about what he was putting out!
As far as kind4q's post, this newsgroup is getting pathetic...

Ok, no more caps. muhammad Ali was Cassius Clay, became a muslim, changed his
name. he was famous as Cassius Clay, then changed name. Malcolm X was not
famous before he changed his name. The only other person on your list that has
had a post-fame name change is Cat Stevens. You left out Old Dirty Bastard,
currently known as Big Baby Jesus. Terence Trent, as far as I know, was using
his given name. John Cougar was not. He went back to his original name.
Elvis Costello tried to go back to his real name, but the marketplace did not
support his idea. Declan McManus, in case yer wondering.
So anyway, this name changing is gettin old. Lenny aint changin his.
LONG LIVE ROXY ROKER! R.I.P.

TTD is one of the most "slept on" artists of the 90s. Great voice, good
songwriter, and distinctive sound...no wonder he's not popular, eh? Live show
in '95 was excellent.

They wanted Bill Goldberg to change his name to something stupid, and he
refused. But they are calling him just GOLDBERG now though anyway...
It's one thing to take a stage name or become known as something and then start
using that (can't think of any examples), it's another to change your name well
into your career. Everyone knows who TTD is. You go into a store and look for
the TTD stuff. Now he'll be called 'the guy who used to be TTD'. TAFKATTD

Actually, his real name is Thomas Mopather. He changed it because that
isn't really a "marquee name." Michael J. Fox sort of changed his name
because there was already an actor named Michael Fox. Michael J.'s real
middle initial is "A," but he felt "Michael A. Fox" sounded too conceited,
so he made his middle initial a "J" in honor of a character actor he
admires, Michael J. Pollard.
