I think it's really sad
Here this man is....80 years old and he's stuck in a time that he wants to keep re-living.
The earring in his ear, the pimp pinky finger ring, partying, messing around with girls and "making deals"....
it's like Joseph hasn't grown as a man at all. He still walks around in this "pimp-partyland" mentality with no clue about what this life is really all about.
There's no personal growth, no depth,
no change.....just shallowness :|
It's heartbreaking....and for the first time
(all jokes aside) I actually feel pity for him.... truly

No wonder Michael never understood him....how do you love someone incapable of change?
