DOES PRINCE RESEMBLE JOHN OATES?

I don't think the comparison is TOO far off. Both men are short in stature, have dark curly hair and love their facial hair. Check these pix...

Well, aren't they about the same size? And judging from that one pic, it looks like John raided Prince's closet and stole his pink pants and white boots.

I've seen a couple of pics of Prince in the early 80s where I thought there was a slight resemblance between the two--not saying spittin' image, just some similarities.

In that next-to-last pic, John almost looks like a white version of Eric LaSalle in "Coming to America". Wouldn't be surprised if he had some Soul Glo in his pocket.

I think Prince resembles Spike Lee.

Although Spike Lee has some seriously rough palms on his hand and Prince has some seriously soft palms.

Yeah not spittin' image but pretty close. John Oates ain't much more than 5'3", if that, I'm sure. And the porn-stache is similar to Dirty Mind-era Prince. He really looks like P in the pink pants pic, physique and all. He also looks alot like P in the fourth pic down.

No. But when John Oates shaved off his moustache he looked more like Juan Epstein from "Welcome Back Kotter".

At times they do favor eachother...Even the guy who does the "Prince Show" on SNL also did the Oates character. They're not twins in any way but there are some sililarities in bone structure...and by the way, Oates is a very talented writer/musician.

John without his moustache is counting the days.

I think he could be P's more masculine Italian cousin.
