Exactly my opinion...this makes him real...no matter the year...how awesome is it to see him relaxed and "regular." Very refreshing! Man!!!!! Makes me  | |

He looks so suburban and laid-back...so casual. It's cool to see him toning down the "star" persona in this pic. | |

Well...even though that car is from 1982, I'd say that picyure was taken in 1985. Right after he trimmed his mustache (remember the "America" video?), and right before he laid back his hair for "Parade." He looks really cute! I love this.

I know for a fact that is Prince cuz I took that picture. honest engine! I just can't remember what year that was... guess I could look for the negatives eh.

I'm sorry, I have to stop this and say something here. Why do you keep typing this statement? What is it supposed to mean? Are you trying to bring back the old phrase "honest injun" with a new twist? Just curious... | |

I remember reading somewhere that he bought his father a Purple BMW after the 1999 album took off. This looks like that car. JERKIN' EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!! | |

Definitely ATWIAD related, around the time of the Raspberry Beret video thing perhaps, whatever year that was. U can tell by his clothes & hair, he has this little 'french' thing going on. (If he had his hair done in this pic it would b clear)
Believe me, I'm gay I know these things.  ...Your coochie gonna swell up and fall apart... | |

I think its got to be Summer 83.
Heres what we know.... 1. the BMW didn't come out until 82. 2. The hair is almost as long as it was in Purple Rain, but not quite. As Purple Rain started filming later in 83, it has to be before it. 3. The trousers. If I'm not mistaken, are his first "Flower" clothes. At the 1999 video stage (and the Rolling Stone cover), he was still dying jeans different colours. It wasn't until the 1999 tour in 83 when he got a designer and began wearing the clothes that would eventually define the film. He wears a whiter version of these trousers for the purple rain tour. These trousers (they are more pink that the PR stuff) can be seen in photos on the 1999 tour. Notably, there is a picture in "The Story So Far" book. . | |

He wore those pants in 84 so that would be my guess for the year, cool pic! As far as his hair is concerned, it looks like he just woke up, or it wasn't styled the way we're used to seeing it during '84. You know, pulled down over his eye. This is definitely 1984. Here are the pants I think EverlastingNow is referring to: (Gallery image #1817 not found!)  Prince on the Purple Rain tour (1984) Lovesexy Funkateer | |

Wow...I love this picture of him! I dont care too much for his look thru-out 1980-1984 but WOWWEE!  And he looks so normal!  &  | |

I really don't get all the negative comments about his hair.
I think it looks beautiful.  | |

For everyone that says 1984, because he has the Purple Rain
look, I agree with U... But, if Purple Rain was released in '84, that means it was actually filmed in '82-'83... As for the BMW, we all know that he has a thing for BMW's.. he has mentioned them in a song (I can't recall which) and was also driving one in the Sexy MF video. 1982 or 1983 would B my guess.. "..Just close your eyes and count to 10...and when U open 'em I'll B standing naked with nuthin' but a SMILE on.." | |
