Today I was on NPR Marketplace talking about Prince's decision (30 years ago today!) to change his name to an unpronounceable symbol on his 35th birthday. I tried to get to the cultural & political context. (at 5:30) https://open.spotify.com/episode/4UY5KecU8FJM0fC1FKZJ7z?si=d8de5dc6bbdb4a2d
SpotifyWait, now we might be in a bull market?Listen to this episode from Marketplace Morning Report on Spotify. Whelp, so much for that projected stock downturn. The S&P 500 Index is a hair’s breadth away from turning into “bull market” territory — a 20% rise in stocks — since a low hit last October. We look at why the market has been high on the economy this year despite earlier pessimism. Plus, a deeper look into yesterday’s announcement that the PGA Tour would merge with its Saudi-backed rival, LIV Golf. And finally, a look at how Prince reshaped the music industry by changing his name to the famous “Love Symbol” in the 1990s.
@anildash I thought it was a business decision because a record label was screwing him over.
@Codhisattva that was a factor too!
@anildash I thought he was forced to do it because his former record label owned his “trade name” Prince?
