It's just the shape of the body and the face don't look like Prince's...I've obviously been fooled by the camera angle and the gurning and the hair.

Hes sitting down behind a console with his legs crossed, how much of his body can you see? I mean you can tell its a petite guy, but not a lot else. Hes got sun shades on and he's making an over exaggerated face. Hair styles can be changed as often as clothes, at least for some people. I'm not understanding.

He's trolling everyone and not very good at it.

He needs to Google this: Poe's Law.

They's a hoe lotta photoshoppn' goin own....

Just doesn't look like Prince, to me. Sorry.

It's not trolling, it's just me fighting an internal battle, honest.

Is that a cigarette in his hand, has anyone ever known of Prince to smoke?

Never known of Prince to smoke, but I'm sure Jamie Starr did.

I think it's because back in about 1995 I attended a Prince party and there was a look-a-like there that closely resembled the chap in the picture (obviously - the redundancy of that sentence became more and more apparent as I typed it!) and was fooled.

Of course, given the youth of Morris, Prince probably wasn't famous enough to have a look-a-like at that time.

Now, that's a little agrressive, don't you think? *adopts best Christopher Tracy turning around whilst sat at a piano and speaking with The Lady In White pose*

I'm stopping now. I apologise for upsetting you. I am only having a laugh and a joke about my inability to recognise Prince in this photograph and genuinely believing from the outset that this was not Prince but a look-a-like. Clues that should have told me that wasn't the case, I overlooked. Sorry for vexing you and making it look like I was purposely antagonising you in a nasty or vile manner. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

I am with you Simon. There are a number of orgers who think it is OK to talk disrespectfully to one another. Many have been allowed to do it over time and what it does is make other folks shy away from attempting to contribute. What happened to civility?

I had to look at that picture many times and deduct it was Prince.

Good point - however, in laytonian's defence, I believe this person believes I'm trolling. I'm not, I'm just making fun of my own inability to see it's Prince in the picture. I think I've done it comically, laytonian does not, and that's fine. If anything, it tells me I need to be clearer in the tone and language I use to correctly convey what I'm trying to say. That said, I do think the extreme repetition of the point I've made did indicate that it was just fun and nothing serious. Anyhoo. Let's all agree it is Prince in the photo - even though I know it isn't (see, I'm doing it again!) - and get on to discussing his hair or when we're ever going to see another T-shirt release from the estate.

Hmmm. Where does post # 47 say it's Prince in the picture?

OldFriends4Sale said:

I just spoke to Allen Beaulieu

He is the photographer. I told him he needs to get his signature on it.

He said he took it in 1981...

It states the pic is from 1981............

I am not convinced (yet) that it's Prince. Did Allen Beaulieu confirm also that the persons in the pic are Morris and Prince?

Doc.

I am so confused. I think I'll go find my loafers.

Prince drinks and smokes, I knew it.

He regular.
