A woman at the front desk at my vet’s office asked where my last name was from. People don’t usually ask me that. 🇷🇺🪆

On this day in 2001, Prince released "The Rainbow Children" as a single untracked mp3 file through the NPG Music Club.

This was the first album of new music that Prince released under his own name since changing his name back from the symbol to Prince in the previous year.

F'amily name' is one of my fav tracks on the album.

My name can be a blessing and a curse
A way to ask for more than we can disperse
Sometimes its power I can't ignore
But for its fame I won't begrudge
For when its Musk, money can't be the only lure

Gruß aus #Breda aus Deutschland 🙋‍♀️​

@albertcoers his project in #Tuinzigt is evolving around his particular interest in the name of the city of #Breda (the name comes from "Brede Aa" which means „Wide Aa“, referring to the river "Aa"). Breda is also a common family name ( ...the public register mentions at least 25 Breda's in Germany!)
