further facebook investigation garners quotes from Bobby Z's son

--Facebook and Instragam I should say. I was reading questlove's instagram today. I don't always love his focus being primarily on silly Prince stories and 80's music. But he did say a cool thing a few weeks ago, after stumbling upon the song Hello again, he was reminded of We are the World and He talked about the We are the world controversy and then proceeded to point out all the quiet bits of charity Prince did while touring for Purple Rain (daytime shows for high schools, junior high, colleges)and Questlove stated that P earned millions quietly for charity. He said that Prince did it for the right reasons. Nice of Questlove to point that out. Also, he thinks that most of the Morris Days humor and jive is actually Prince. Gotta love that.

I also stumbled upon another gem...Bobby Z's son posted some lovely things about Prince.

Read and weep...LOL

joey_rivkinstaI wouldn't be lying if I said I am on this planet because of Prince. A couple years ago, I had the chance to thank Prince for everything he has done for my family. Back in 2011, he called immediately and comforted my mother, brothers and myself when he heard about my fathers' heart attack. They always remained close friends. Dad recovered and I got to stand between him and P before a gig. I thanked him and told him "You're really something else," he smiled back at me and said simply, "that's what I'm trying to be, Joe... Something else."
I will never forget this moment in time. Little did I know that he was telling me not to be afraid to be me. To be myself and different from the rest. I will live my life with this newfound mantra that my Uncle P gave me: "Be something else."
Stop worrying about it all and just live.
Live life and love everyone. Later in that show, he referred to my dad as his brother and best friend. Rest in peace, P. We love you so much, maybe even more than you realized. Thank you for everything.. We love you! Joey Z
