I think prince at 25 would be very disappointed in a 52 yr old prince who isnt cutting edge,doesn't take chances,half azz dances,and plays the same old shit over and over he did 25 years ago! Now he just prances and gloats around the stage bragging about what he use to be(his hits) instead of doing like miles davis and staying ahead of the pack! what has happened to the kid?

To be honest, some people get older and wiser while some people just get old. He is wiser now, he is still himself but much older twice the age, what if you still act the same when you get older, now thats a problem. Some people can not accept that Prince is not 25 years old anymore, there is nothing wrong with him, he just grew up. What 52 year old man would you want to see humping his guitar and grinding on the mic, idk about you but thats some sick Sh** lol. I think maybe we need to realize that we evolve as human beings, the older we get the more we understand that after acting young and crazy for sometime, it gets old. and hell yeah he should brag you still talking about it 25 years later and still mad. But anyway, in a nice way... he still makes good music.. he dances pretty good. See if I was Prince I would say F*** some of my fans because I swear some of us dont appreciate S*** I'm sorry but now I see why he dont give a damn no more. Music sucks now a days.. maybe you should ask why musicians now a days dont try lol.

this happens to every kid! they crow up and have a meeting with a thing called REALITY...

and have you ever heared the late miles davis? have you seen the miles at paisley park in 1988? in my opinion - this was nothing but a shadow of the early one.

doesnt take chances ?....he left the security of his huge record company to go his own way and have complete control over his art...it cost him a lot leaving the big machine that is the music bizness ...he has since released religious jazzy funk albums...instrumental albums and has done small theatre tours where he played a lot of his lesser known songs....he still does large arenas where he will need to play his hits because thats what the casual fan wants to hear....he does vary it a lot of the time anyway from concert to concert but this ...'' he keeps playing the hits '' shit that i keep hearing...if i went to see someone i like in a large arena and they didnt play their most popular songs....i would be pissed off !....not all prince fans are hardcore...i loved the one nite alone tour BECAUSE he played the lesser known songs but i am not daft enough to go a large concert and think i aint going to hear purple rain or kiss....

.

out of all the major acts of the last 30 years ....prince has taken more chances than anybody...look at the release of ''around the world in a day '' after the huge '' purple rain'' album...give the guy a break...

Are there any 25-year-olds who don't think 52-year-old people are, as a whole, hopelessly square and lame?

The notion that a 25-year old Prince would be disappointed with Prince at 52 is nonsense. I completely disagree.

I think he'd be happy with his maturation level.

I mean... what's Prince supposed to do at 52? Sing about how Viagra gives him a stiffy for up to 4 hours?? And that if his erection last longer than 4 hours, he calls his doctor... Dr. Bria Feelgood?

We all should hope to mature so well, and grow up a bit. I mean what do you want? Prince wearing butt-out pants at this age, and making movies about him and Jerome Benton running around chasing women on the French Riviera?

Don't think so.

I would think that Prince would be very pleased with his path, and the direction he took, and with his current status. He's in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, for heaven sakes.

That's not too disappointing, if you ask me. I mean... do a Wikipedia search on Leif Garrett. Now there's someone who would be disappointed.

Now what is that saying again? Oh yeah "U can't please everybody!" Big p is fine and sexy and like everyone else was saying "we grow up spiritually and mentally"! Let's all grow 2gether shall we!

A 25 year-old Prince would embrace 52-year old Prince, because of the success he's achieved as a musician/artist, and his accomplishments as a musician/artist over the years. Add in the influence he's had/has on other musicians/artists. Not to mention the respect he's earned/gained because of his creative skills, and the risks he still takes with his music. Now what musician/artist would be disappointed about that?

[Edited 12/23/10 10:50am]

Only Prince could answer this question, we can analyze the two, but only he knows how he feels about the two, and to be honest, i dont think he would even ask himself about the past

Good one, homie!

He'd be lickin his eyes and goin, "fuckin puss."

definately not .. do you realize how many 25 year old musicians are dead, broke, strung out and definately not putting out records, touring or are even cared about. prince main problem is pandering to his r+b audience .. but he can't be blamed for it .. its the pathetic groupies that buy all his records .. he is their harlequin romance novel .. if he thought he could compete with cutting edge music he would do it .. but he's just not good at a rock n roll .. gold experience case and point .. something funky would be nice but he keeps working with r+b musicians and they can't find the groove .. i am reminded of his quote "we need some of that duran duran money" .. prince has always followed trends but at the time he was following a good trend with good musicians who could play that style of music .. now prince wants that easy listening money .. we can argue young prince wouldn't respect old prince but young prince was about money back then too "check the lyric change" .. which is why he does not care what you think and would be happy that prince now makes more money per record than he did when he was a superstar but got less compensation. the fact was back then to compete you had to make good music because there was so much music that was good back then .. every thing sucks now .. i mean really really really sucks .. so prince doesnt have to try as hard to make his money .. nothing new here.

Geez.

To be honest, some people get older and wiser while some people just get old. He is wiser now, he is still himself but much older twice the age, what if you still act the same when you get older, now thats a problem. Some people can not accept that Prince is not 25 years old anymore, there is nothing wrong with him, he just grew up. What 52 year old man would you want to see humping his guitar and grinding on the mic, idk about you but thats some sick Sh** lol. I think maybe we need to realize that we evolve as human beings, the older we get the more we understand that after acting young and crazy for sometime, it gets old. and hell yeah he should brag you still talking about it 25 years later and still mad. But anyway, in a nice way... he still makes good music.. he dances pretty good. See if I was Prince I would say F*** some of my fans because I swear some of us dont appreciate S*** I'm sorry but now I see why he dont give a damn no more. Music sucks now a days.. maybe you should ask why musicians now a days dont try lol.

Sexuality has nothing to do with age. He's not some old wrinkled prune

I saw Glady's Knight in June and a part of the show was the last surviving Pip. I believe he's late 60's early-mid 70's, HE STOLE THE SHOW, he did splits, he twisted he humped, he grabbed the mic/stand and while singing started grinding, the ladies and th crowd went wild.

So again sexuality has nothing to do with age. And Prince is a man, so it's supposed to be easier to be sexual. Madonna is a 52 yr old woman who sells out stadiums over the world and they lover her being sexual.

Ain't nothing wrong being a nasty motherfucker when you become older. Hell, why should the young folks be the only ones that can have fun. I don't know about you honey, but I don't plan on ever being a stuffy old goodie two shoes. I'll be a nasty old whore until I'm a dead old whore.

And there are other nasty older folks out there too and they are well loved. Here's some right here....

Did you not ask what the 25-year old Prince would think of the 52-year old Prince? He'd be damn proud of his accomplishments. You got your answer. By the way, what have you achieved in the past 5 years that would make anyone remember you? Prince is an accomplished musician whose music has influenced many other musicians/artists and he has the catalogue and experience to prove it.

Gotta love the selfish fans who think Prince is suppose to check in with them and give them his daily itinerary, and only perform songs they think he needs their permission first, before he decides to sing and play them.

Do you think he wants to hump on his guitars and do what he use to do back in the day now that he is JW, I don't think so.. so I think there is more than one factor, I think he chooses not to do it. Its life, but I think he can still dance his ass of and perform as good as he use to, but with age does come maturity and licking his guitar and humping it aint as satisfying as it use to be to him. MAdonna is Madonna >_> lets be honest here lol. There is nothing wrong with being sexual, but do you see Prince doing it?? like he use to? no... if he did it again I wouldn't go all ugh.. it's Prince he can get away with that.. Did the pip drop drown and hump his guitar though? I'm just wondering...

Lawd have mercy... some of these fans seem to be looking for Prince to fill a sexual void missing in their lives when they go to see him perform. They seriously need to learn how to separate "Prince the musician/artist/performer" from "Prince offstage". Maybe some of these fans need to do a "personal" check and try to find things in their lives to "make their lives happen" instead of depending on an artist's music or perfomance to bring that satisfaction and fill that void in their lives. Sheesh.

so he sucks at funk and rock n roll?

Well at the first NJ show last week Prince said "these are the days I was looking forward to"

right before launching in to She's Always In My Hair. Which is a song he made when he

was around 25.

So I guess the answer to the question of the OP is: no

UH you said nothing about being a JW. I responded to your age + sexuality comment. And Prince ain't even following that(JW) correctly. You equated his age with sexuality. Being a JW has nothing to do with age. So is it ok if he's a 25 yr old JW humping his guitar. The Superbowl performance where the white sheet was shadowing him... what do you think he was exibiting? PHALLIC Penis Dick

Weither he humps his guitar or not has nothing to do with it. When Prince places the back end of his guitar in his groin what do you think he's doing? Just because you wouldn't want to see it doesn't mean 1000 other fans don't and you know they do.

2elijah, your comment is way off. IAmFunkay is the one with the pornographic rememberance of humping guitars. Reply correctly or don't add on. I specifically made reference to 1AmF... equateing Prince's age with some kind of asexuality. And I don't know what you've been doing but I've never been in Prince's bedroom so I don't equate his sexuality with something he does "Offstage" umm what windows have you been peaking in...

I'm not saying anything about stage antics, Parade was one of my favorite tours/shows and outside of stripping his top, how sexual was his antics at that age.

Prince's sexuality like a lot of artist:painters singers poets musicians is a part of them. How do you seperate your sexuality from who you are... But that is the problem people who profess one thing outwardly and when they get behind closed doors act another way. When has Prince really seperated his sexuality from his Musicianship/Artistry? the Rainbow Children album which is considered his JW album is full of sexuality and talks about oral sex.

Any artist or person who seperates himself is not being true to himself and that's where lack of reality and creativity comes in.

Purple Prudes are kinda weird to me...

U seems obsessed with Prince humping guitars lol

I'm not just dealing with Prince and the pornographic images you seem to hold dear too, I'm talking age and sexuality. People who respond like you act like he should be writing his will because he has 1 foot in the grave. The man is not old. When does a person sexuality stop?

That's why I made reference to Madonna because 1. She's a 52 yr old woman(women even before men are supposed to be sexual or seen as sexual after a certain age) 2. She is one fo the top performers out there. Packs stadium and sells out everytime. 3. She may not do it like in the early 90's but she is being herself and if she's sexual it's just comes out. I don't see why people try to seperate a person from their sexuality. That's like people who try to be sexy or take class on being sexy, what is that?

UH you said nothing about being a JW. I responded to your age + sexuality comment. And Prince ain't even following that(JW) correctly. You equated his age with sexuality.

It's widely believed Prince began practicing JW traditions as early as 1997, with 2001's TRC album being the time of his induction as a full member. This is speculation for the sake of the argument, though, but here goes:

1997: NYC Live ("Face Down")

1998: Newpower Soul ("Mad Sex", "Shoo-Bed-Ooh", "Come On", "The One")

1999: Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic ("Hot Wit U", "Baby Knows")

2001: The Rainbow Children ("Muse 2 the Pharaoh", "The Sensual Everafter", "Mellow", "1+1+1 is 3")

2002: One Nite Alone... ("A Case of U")

2004: The Chocolate Invasion ("When I Lay My Hands On U", "Underneath the Cream", "Vavoom", "The Dance"), Musicology ("If I Was the Man in Your Life", "On the Couch")

2006: 3121 ("3121", "Lolita", "Black Sweat", "Incense and Candles", "Satisfied", "The Dance")

2007: Planet Earth ("Somewhere Here on Earth", "Future Baby Mama", "Mr. Goodnight")

2009: Lotusflow3r ("Crimson and Clover", "Love Like Jazz"), MPLSound ("Chocolate Box", "Dance 4 Me", "Valentina"), Elixer ("Here I Come","2nite", "Elixer")

2010: 20TEN ("Sticky Like Glue")

If you think Prince isn't still well in-touch with his sexuality, you're living in a dream world.
