Welcome to episode 65 of the Apple Insider Podcast.

I'm the host Victor Marks and with me joining us all the way from far off China is Shane Cole, man of international mystery.

Do you see in my sparein?

Shane, what was the big news this past week? There's a lot of big news this week.

Was there not? There's car stuff and iPhone stuff and Prince died. I mean really that's

the only news that matters is everything else is secondary

poor Prince yeah it's a bad year for music icons it is and you know the the only

reassuring thing about Prince is Prince doesn't really die though doesn't, doesn't he just kind of elevate to a higher level?

He's, are you saying he's going to be the angel formerly known as Prince now?

I choose to believe that. I'm not going to lie to you. I actually only know two print songs. I only know what's that I somebody can't remember the name of.

There's a, oh, what is the name of that song? The Foo Fighters covered it.

Oh, gosh. song the

song of song of the food fighters covered it anyway that song exists and then another one the name of which I never knew ever so I can't forget it

but anyway culturally though I really so I can't forget it. But anyway.

Culturally though, I realize that Prince is important.

I know he's important to you.

I mean, you know, for a number of us he was an artist that just kind of transcended definition,

was sort of ageless in some ways.

Did you also temporarily change your name to a symbol?

Okay, I'm gonna lie about that.

No, I did not.
