Incorrect. It's understandable because we all make mistakes. But the assignment was "worst band name ever", not "best band name ever". When you're older you'll understand why he did it
What is that? Seen it on someone's wall near me too
Prince had a legal fight with his record label over ownership of his music. As a protest, he changed his artist name from "Prince" to this symbol.
And had floppy discs with the character code sent out to all the music magazines so they could print it. As Charlie Murphy put it, dude could ball.
Prince, formerly known as "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince" (this symbol), formerly known as Prince.
