Did you pick your stage name from the second word of the title of a movie? - Michael Caine. He couldn’t use his own full name due to another actor having the same name, so he chose Caine from The Caine Mutiny, which he saw advertised on a nearby movie theater marquee. He later joked, “Thank God it wasn’t 101 Dalmatians.”
Did you urge women in a song to express themselves? - Yes, Madonna: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_r620DGoiE
