Prince on his computer as Comic Book Guy's "Need know star RM pic" query makes its way through cyberspace.
In 1993, due to a dispute with his record company, Prince changed his stage name to the "Love Symbol", which he explained as being a combination of the symbols for male and female. There was no pronunciation for the symbol, so in written and spoken discourse he was referred to as "The Artist Formerly Known as Prince", or simply "The Artist". The change lasted until 2000, when The Artist changed his stage name back to "Prince", so he was performing as the Love Symbol when "Lisa's Sax" originally aired, as referenced by Homer when he tells the story.
