he changed his name back so he is "the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as prince"

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Love it! Halfway thru I thought ..." formerly a female ... " Then ... "formerly an anchor ..."

Used a little smile logic to get the last few pixels.
#5: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Feb 3, 2010 [SPOILER]
Odd.

I think Prince IS Odd. :p
nice puzzle

He's still a little purple dude. :)
#8: Adam Nielson (monkeyboy) on Feb 3, 2010 [HINT]
He may not be a "dude" anymore... they have surgery for that now, you know. LOL

Ditto the smile logic at the end.

The description made me smile.

Joe, I think you are a Prince of a Puzzlemaker for this entertaining puz! Thank you!

See also puzzle 7582 -- we must have Prince on the brain! :-)
I must say, I like his older, pre-Love Symbol songs much better.

@ Sallie: Ah, I had not seen your puzzle yet. I only did random puzzles 'til I joined at the end of January. My inspiration came when I was rereading a book about signs & symbols and there he was as an example of a modern one.

It's interesting how yours starts with edge logic exactly where mine ends with smile logic.

I'm actually sort of surprised that it hasn't been done more already, it seems like such a natural idea for a puzzle. Maybe I just haven't seen the other puzzles myself!

Life was too short for this incredible musician. Everyone knows at least a dozen of his songs, and they have so far easily stood the test of time. His guitar skills are also underrated; a music journalist once asked Eric Clapton how it felt to be the greatest guitarist in the world and he replied "I don't know - you'll have to ask Prince."
