::* There is one source that says changing his name may have been done in case he pursued a musical career. Other sources offer different reasons. So I don't think alt 2 is accurate. My preference remains the original hook, which I think should be fine. The language of the hook plainly denotes a temporal connection but not a cause and effect. How/why do you think it suggests cause and effect?

Length and date check out. Expansion started from 5,050 bytes on 17 June 2012 → now at 33,395 bytes (over 5x). Not sure about the hook, though. The connection between his name-change and "best seasons" is coincidental at best. I just added the actual ext. link to confirm it. How about the ALT1 hook (below).

- The cause and effect connection in the original hook seemed obvious to me. How about ALT2 with your own comment included in it?
