Joe, I think you are a Prince of a Puzzlemaker for this entertaining puz! Thank you!#12: Sallie Wilbur (sarriemom) on Feb 6, 2010 [SPOILER]

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.#14: Sallie Wilbur (sarriemom) on Feb 7, 2010
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!#15: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Mar 2, 2018 [SPOILER]
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."
