(AP) — The late pop superstar Prince will have a highway named after him in his home state, following a vote by Minnesota lawmakers Thursday.The Senate vote was 55-5 to rename the highway that runs past Prince’s Paisley Park museum and studios.

Julia Coleman, of Waconia.“Prince was a true genius, a visionary artist who pushed the boundaries of music and cultures in ways that will never be forgotten,” Coleman told her fellow senators. “His influence can be he...

The SEC meets May 30 in Destin, Florida.“It’s going to be weird. I’ll be there with no voting rights.
