I was saying in Mozarts time, he did not have the same accessibility that Prince did his is time being able to fly to various continents/countries and do concets around the world. That in Mozarts time he did not have video recorders film recorders cell phone vidoes that recorded his performances. we have books posters digital photos of Prince, we don't of Mozart

.

So what he said had no bearing on my post.
Mozart doesn't have picture books, posters, photos, paintings, video/film recordings of concerts, performances and videos

.

Dig if U will the picture?.
.

Even many famous people from pre modern technology periods were remembered by people in quotes and such for how they might have dressed. Prince really cared about how he looked and how it coincided with the music. So why not. Unless people 100yrs from now loose technology and go into 'Walking Dead type Dystopian world' They too will have these photos, paintings, and video recordings of Prince

I think his legacy will be comparable to someone like Elvis Presley, who's often regarded in the different stages of his career. For instance, you have his young rock n' roll days, then the campy movies, the '68 comeback and of course the bloated, Vegas jumpsuit wearing days.

Oh my God, I was watching a documentary the other night about the last year of Prince's life and they were showing various footage of him from that year. When he was still living, I had noticed the decline in his looks and at the time, I figured even though he still looked more youthful than most people his age, even he, was no longer able to hide his aging. But when you see it every day on the internet, your eyes become adjusted to it. Since he's been gone and more his older music has been released and more images and video footage of his younger years has surfaced (which has been absolutely wonderful), my eyes became adjusted to that image again. And Lord knows, I hadn't been watching much of his recent stuff because he began to bore me in his later years. So when I saw him again in the documentary in the last years of his life, it was like sitting in a dark room for a long time and then going outside into the sunlight and going "Damn!". The thinning out of shape fro, the fur vests, those ridiculous looking shades with three lenses, the overdone horns all over the stage sounding like Doc Severinson's "Tonight Show" band, in other words, "Vegas" sounding. It all reminded me of someone else but I couldn't put my finger on it at the time. But yes, it's Elvis that I was thinking of. Elvis was a very handsome, sharp dressing, COOL ass motherfucker in his early years who turned himself into an absolute joke in his later years with the sideburns, Captain Marvel (Shazam) jumsuit.... even with a cape.... LMAO! .... and the overdone Vegas style music.

Yeah, the aging was definitely apparent toward the end, and as you said, the new style didn't help. Luckily, I don't think that image bacame too iconic the way Elvis' Vegas years did. "Shazam!" LOL

No, he will not be remembered for his live shows over the albums because there aren't many good live shows available to the masses at this point. Maybe future releases will change that, but for now the albums are there and the live albums are not. The live legends will live on in the folklore, but the albums are what matter.

This.
