If you are going to the DMV to get your license renewed, replaced, or altered the fee is $80.50 (currently). What most people don’t know is that included in that fee is the option to take a new picture. So if you are someone who isn’t happy with their current picture, while you’re there, might as well update your picture as well.

Jerich and his friend staged an impromptu ceremony with the other straphangers acting as the guests in attendance. What looked to be a bad memory became something extraordinary.

During the 90′s after Prince had inked a new deal with Warner Bros. he became fed up with the company refusing to release his songs right away. Prince wanted the public to have access to his music as soon as it was complete. Warner Bros. feared at the rate Prince was making new music it may be detrimental to his popularity and saturate the market for his music. Hence why they had a schedule for releasing his music. 

As an act of rebellion, he changed his name from Prince to the symbol featured above. It was his way of protesting against Warner Bros. because the name "Prince” was tied to the company. Which led to him always being introduced as “the artist formerly known as Prince” because his symbol did not have a formal name. 

However, from 2000 onwards he began to once again perform under the stage-name, Prince.
