| | UPTOWN commentary - MY NAME IS PRINCE |
 | | The name change, which also dovetailed with the development of Prince/O(+>s relationship with Mayte Garcia, seemed to indicate that this artist was really changing he was trading sexual adventure for monogamy, and callow hit-making for true artistry. |
 | | By describing the initial name change as, essentially, a subterfuge to undermine Warner Bros., Prince revealed his long and fruitless use of the symbol as a campaign driven by economics and anger, not spirituality or political consciousness. |
