    Famous Name-Change

    From 1993-2000, Prince took the name of a symbol -- one that couldn't be pronounced. It later became known as the "Love Symbol." When he realized having an unpronounceable name wasn't quite lucrative, he decided to go by "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince," then "The Artist," then back to Prince. What's even better about this story is that Prince decided to change his name right on stage -- in the most awesome and public of ways.

Many people in the 80s considered this album to be over-the-top, but it definitely got people talking and shone a new light on sexuality as well as musical promiscuity that wasn't necessarily welcomed back then.
