When Prince changed his name to "The Artist Formerly Known As Prince", how were we supposed to pronounce that weird symbol he used?

@SomeMichGuy Why didn't I think of that? Lol :)
@Crazychick Wow! Thanks for BC! I just got tired of the whole "the Artist formerly known as 'Prince' " thing, so I made up a pronunciation. lol

[For Prince fans, YES, I know he was very smart & doing this as a way to navigate the very narrow intellectual property straits in which he found himself after his fight with a former label/music publisher.]

@SomeMichGuy I had to give it the BC, it's just the sort of word I find amusing. Lol :)
@Crazychick Well, I guess great weird minds think alike? 😉
