I'm confused on all of this. The Time recorded an album as the Original 7ven a few years ago and put "the band formerly known as the Time" on the cover. How Prince didn't blow a gasket at the description is beyond me. Now, I believe they're once again known as the Time. Did they get that right after Prince died? Why wouldn't his family hold the rights to the name? This must be a very complicated area of law.

Prince may have blown a gasket, but there wasn't a damned thing he could do about it. They were "Formerly known as the Time" once he took the name from them! He use to do stuff like that to them early in their career. Preventing them from playing certain gigs.
