What I was looking forward to.

I was all set and ready for "old Prince". I wanted to see grey hair. I thought Prince might take on a little weight, wouldn't that have been adorable lol ? Old men don't give a crap anymore & say things the rest of us are too afraid to venture into. The current trend is everyone that's old now writes like Johnny Cash. Maybe Willy & Chris are copying him but everything is about regret now. Wouldn't it have been cool to hear his voice age. An old battle scared Prince. If a new npgmc would have happened alot of us might have influenced him into working on the autism epidemic. Not just raising money, but imagine smaller quieter shows focused on the visuals. I heard during the celebration event that Kevin Smith worked on children had free range at Paisley Park. Imagine special need children's events. Alot of kids would have loved the galaxy room.




Old Prince would have been alot of fun.

I doubt we were ever going to see fat and grey Prince. He was already deep in Little Richard territory. I expect it would've been max factor, gold lamé and black hair dye all the way, and there's nothing wrong with that.

Yeah I don't see a fat old Prince.
He would have been super skinny with an assortment of rainbow colored wigs.

I don't think he would have gone Full Little Richard, but I feel like he would have done everything possible to save his hair, up to and including wigs, extensions, plugs, whatever. For some reason I just cannot see Prince ever accepting hair loss.

Folks I didn't say fat. He was over the hill. Exercise I would assume get harder & would have to be more individualized for him. Wouldn't y'all have enjoyed some over 40 tummy bulge, or flappy arms? He was five nothing, the slightest weight gain on him would have showed.

-- In your imagination I guess that was occurring. He was dressing down and wearing a fro.

He was already losing muscle due to age and poor health. Normally by the time people reach their 50s weight is harder to keep off. Prince didn't eat enough to keep a bird alive so he probably would never have fought the battle of the bulge.

Insanity lol he still had muscle tone, was riding his bike, wearing heels - the thighs & biceps were in check nod Can't see him embracing gray, but a little salt & pepper would have been adorable... especially in beard form faint heart

I just wish we could have seen how it would have turned out. But maybe he was not meant to be seen as an older man. Like Marilyn Monroe - could never have imagined her as an old lady either. but I wish we could have seen more as I convinced aweseome things were to come.

Thank you Prince for every note you left behind 💜

Its easy to imagine Marilyn Monroe as an old broad - just look at Shelley Winters and you can get a pretty good idea of how she would have aged.
