The Artist Formerly Known as Bart/References

Wikisimpsons - The Simpsons Wiki
References/Trivia


Cultural references[edit]

  • The story title is a reference to the musician Prince, who for a time in the 1990s changed his stage name to an unpronounceable symbol, which led to his being referred to as "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince".
  • When Marge hears a noise in the night and tries to wake up Homer, he sleepily says, "Did it sound as if millions of voices cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced?", echoing Obi-Wan Kenobi's line in Star Wars when he senses the destruction of Alderaan.
