@dekay Nice, you win.
The artist formerly known as Prince, The Purple One, The Artist. Or none of the above.
Who's an artist that you're a fan of but whose name you're not sure how to pronounce?
I remember when Sufjan Stevens was starting out I heard several pronunciations of his name and almost every article about him tried to clarify it, but it wasn't until I saw him and he said "Hi, I'm Sufjan Stevens" that I was sure how to pronounce it.
Bon Iver, Rae Sremmurd, Sigur Ros, and the Notwist have been other artists over the years who I haven't been sure how to pronounce.
Who are some artists whose names you haven't been sure how to pronounce?

@lowrider57 @dekay - The artist, formerly known as, the artist formerly known as Prince... |
I met Prince 2-3 times in the mid 90’s on Sunset Strip in West Hollywood outside Book Soup (super book store - with an adjacent great magazine kiosk). Didn’t recognize him @ first as he had short/natural hair, but figured it out fairly quickly once we started talking about where we were both raised (Des Moines for me) plus other stuff. I was waiting for my wife shopping @ BS and Tower Records was across the street. Think we first talked about how I ended up attending more MN concerts once Interstate I35 was completed (easy/timely access to MN/SP when I was in high school) and we also talked about those concerts in detail. When we went over to Tower he spent most of his time in the classical section. When I complained about parking he said that he walked, so assume that he had a place close by. We always went there on Saturday or Sunday afternoon (pretty much weekly) as my wife worked nights M-F and I had Saturday or Sunday afternoons off on a regular basis. Met a lot of celeb’s in the 45 years I’ve lived here, but he was probably the most normal/relaxing one I’ve spent brief time with.
