Rounding up to 50. After a age of about 35, people age at diffrent rates. I hear alot of people talking "he's almost 50", but how old is that really? Biblically people where suposed to live 350 years or more. would 50 be old compaired to numbers such as that? in the late mellunium we had life expectencies go as low as 35. This is what lead to thinking 50 as an old man.

Prince isn't an old man yet. He's still a pup. Now if he would only stop pissing on the carpet and eating crumbs from under the table we might get somewhere. Bad prince, no begging.

47 is not that old. But you shouldn't expect certain things from an artist that old...

That's Just Foolishness. "You should expect" +"from that old"


How about you shouldn't expect. I think I like that better.

Prince isn't your dad at 50 .

He'll be sexy no matter what age he is.

Why not? Franz Liszt was composing heart stopping pieces when he was a senior citizen. Does genius dry up and disappear on your 40th birthday?

You got that right. Think back to the last outfit you just saw Prince wearing, that was not a suit. Ask yourself --- What is the oldest age you think anyone you know could get away with wearing that? Truthfully, for most outfits, I think mid-30s would be pushing it for most people.

Well, personally I don't expect to see the dude jumping off of pianos and doing too many more splits. It doesn't take a genius to figure that out... As far as heart-stopping pieces, I'd expect Prince's heart to stop before he churns out anything that stellar again. I'm not saying it won't or can't happen... I'm just saying I don't expect that...

i hope he changes his name again because it would be of great benefit to me. he need a nick-name. i can't continue to call him prince. i'd be saying his name more times than my own.

I'm talking about composing here, not performing.

I'm not expecting it either, but what I'm saying is that for Prince's age to be brought up as an excuse for his present day mediocrity is always laughable at best.

Grandpa Prince is almost 50-years old. Give him some slack.

PurpleKnight said:

I guarantee your perception will change once you hit 30 years old.

Age really is just a state of mind, hmmm who said that?

As someone wise once said,'time is a trick...we continue to count birthdays and our bodies and minds deteriorate' age is just change and we are all changing and getting older every second of every minute of every hour of every day.He's 47-get over it,it matters not one jot.

gargamelgibson said:

So when we all turn 30 we turn into boring fucks?


If that's true, shoot me now.

In 1998 Prince was NOT LIKING that he was 40 years old. Chris Rock said 40 is Old. I think Both of them Better Stop THAT THINKING CAUSE ONLY THING OLD is YA NOGGINS for THINKING YA CAN"T When Ya CAN..NO OLD SKIN,ASS..ETC.... FREak That.... Darling Will NEVER B OLD..He's The ESSENCE we should ENJOY FOREVER.....He just gotta get to the Gym like he used to. He worked out Alot. He had SERIOUS CUTS and His ASS Was Perfect.... Unless a Medical Condition Prevents. James Brown still Dancing a Storm...Who's Making him FEEL OLD OR OLD SKIN or Guilty or What Have U? He gotta GET RID OF THE FOOLS WORKING ON HIS MIND..These are the DREAM POLICE CHEAP TRICK Talked about. These are THE THEIVES IN THE TEMPLE....GET RID and REMEMBER 10 years ago..Ya were in GREAT ASS SHAPE.... SKINNY and Face like a CHERUB....ELFIN.... So RID of Whatever and Go back to That Thinking..Stay Healthy.....Forget PASTA.....LIMIT PASTA.... :-Less a Person Runs..Carbs are FATTENING when Older...

not at all the thing is society tells you to turn into a boring fuck..then you can choose to do 2 things act the age people say you should act OR say fuck em and do your own thing..i chose to do my own thing but i know people my age (37) who were old when they were 20 and now act 70...i feel no different than i did at 18 and im going to continue to do what i want as long as i want..its amazing you really never realize about the ageism that goes on until you reach an age people start telling you "oh your too old to be doing that!" fuck em and stay young as long as YOU want

Mazerati said:

I completely agree with you. My post was in response to gargamelgibson's reply to the comment that Prince's age shouldn't be an excuse for mediocrity.
