Under normal circumstances, a 54-year-old man from Minnesota appearing on The View would not be the type of thing we cover. But these are not normal circumstances, because the middle-aged man in question was none other than Prince Rogers Nelson, and, seriously, look at what he is wearing. A quick rundown:
- A baby Afro.
- Giant bug-eye John Lennon sunglasses (that he is wearing indoors, obvs).
- A turtleneck.
- What appears to be either a leather jacket or the single dopest Hefty bag in history.
- Pants that are not so much “yellow” as they are “YELLOW.”
- Platform shoes that match said pants.
I apologize for the crappy quality banner image, but I literally could not wait any longer to share this with you. I was going to explode. Prince is the greatest. He hardly ever appears on television, and when he does he just drops in on The View, or he shows up to an interview with PBS’s Tavis Smiley looking immaculate like a fancy supervillain, or he does this WHICH WE WILL NOT TALK ABOUT, or he wears yellow leggings and a leather jacket like that’s a perfectly normal thing for a person to do in public at 11:30 in the morning.
I repeat, Prince is the greatest.

Prince sucks.
I hope to see an equally excited post & screen grab when Geraldo Rivera finally sits down and asks Nelson the hard-hitting questions America has been dying to get the answers to
HATERS GONNA’ HATE.
Careful, Burnsy. Caaaaaaaaaaaaareful.
I’m not serious, I’m just mad at Danger. He knows why.
luv u, bro
::stares into crystal ball::
I see… I see Danger and Burnsy holding hands as they walk the red carpet at the premier of the Entourage movie…
This guy!……..
He looks like music video John Ritter walks into in Stay Tuned….. [images3.cinema.de]
This is fantastic. I need to cleanse myself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka right now
That’s not Lake Minnetonka…
54 year old man with the mustache of a 13 year old boy.
You know Whoopi hit that.
Somebody bring him a mirror! Where’s Jerome when you need him?
He looks like a bizarro Bill Cosby.
He looks like a nice Vietnamese lady.
I love yellow, but I still think those pants are a little on the bright side.
Well, genius often comes with a healthy dose of crazy – what can you do? It’s the same reason why Dylan currently grooms himself to look like a demented 19th century riverboat gambler. Danger has the right attitude – just enjoy the wild ride – only so many mad geniuses in the world at any given time.
This is a business, and you too far gone to see that yet! I told you before, you’re not packin’ them in like you used to. No one digs your music but yourself.
Tsk…such nastiness.
Is Prince from the future?
This is what my sperm would look like it they wore clothes.
Prince is the man and this is still the worst sports song ever

Can we get Prince to host a children’s show?
And you can’t really give him shit over preferring Leno to Letterman. You said it yourself: He’s a 54-year-old-man from Minnesota.
Kungjitsu: Prince, you fucked ‘em all didn’t you?
Prince: What would Jesus do?
Kungjitsu: Yeah, you fucked ‘em all.
Under The Cherry Moon is streaming on Netflix.
Went wtf after I saw a couple images floatin’ around on tumblr but hey, he’s just stylin’ and proflin’ in his own right.
Prince could shit in a bush playing a kazoo and I’d listen to it, then download it.
Seems he is the only one that could
pull this off LOL. love it ! He never Ages many say that about me.
54 year old man and he don’t look old.
