Title: "Off To A Good Start"
Written By: Robin DeRosa

"The Gold Experience" has already gone gold. Released last Tuesday, the new album by the Artist Formerly Known as Prince had sold 500,000 copies by Friday. Symbol Man is also garnering attention for an unreleased song that gently pokes fun at the newly opened Rock and Roll Hall of Fame & Museum in Cleveland. On "Rock N' Roll Is Alive (And It Lives in Minneapolis)," the ex-Prince seems to slyly comment on another rock giant, Elvis Presley: "Sure as the land of 10,000 lakes is sometimes made of snow / There'll always be another king to die butt-naked on the floor."
