The thing I remember most about "We Are the World" is being so glad that Prince dropped out, 'cuz Huey Lewis got the part that Prince was supposed to sing.

And you grew up in the 80's if you remember when Prince still went by the name Prince. I don't know what the hell he calls himself now, but I know it's not Prince. Hasn't been for about fifteen years now.

Wasn't that because the former record company owned the rights to the name "Prince" and he would have had to pay them to use it until recently?

 

[Mr. Laser Beam]

^ No, I think it was his choice to use the symbol (and to stop using it).

Also: You grew up in the 80's if...

...you recognize where I got this user name.

Totally done from an American viewpoint, but even being english and growing up in the 80's (well, I was there for the last 8 years of the 80's anyway) I get a huge load of them

In the 80's, if a friend of yours stated that he had "Excessive Flatulence" you'd immediately understand that to be an album from a British punk band

Yes, it was.
That's why during the time he was writting "Slave" on his face too.
