Robert ‘Cubby’ Colby shares on the 4.28.2016 Reunion ..This..

..will make you feel as if you were there. Lots of stories in here! (For Prince has always been the hardest working man in showbiz.) The reunion itself was inclusive of former bandmates, music collaboraters and others. Cubby stories are all about the 1980-88 days with Prince. It's entertaining, uplifting, insightful...and lo-o-ong.. so grab a cup of something and enjoy. smile

Here is the link in case the mods here would prefer that to the actual article.

If you seek only love’s pleasure... you shall laugh..but not all of your laughter, and cry.. but not all of your tears…

I absolutely loved re-reading this, what a balm!

I say the mods should let it stand, it's just one of the best testimonials that came out following his death.

I know Prince wasn't revered for his business sense, but he sure had employee engagement down pat! The reason was that his talent was so great it made him a leader. It spoke for itself.

What does this mean?

"so many things are coming out; I don’t believe any of it. I think it was the result of no medication, no medicine. He was such a believer that he became a vegan to cure himself. I know close friends [and] that worked for them, when chemo didn’t."

You are so misinformed on everything you said.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

I didn't say it - I should have added quotes. Cubby said it. 4th paragraph from the bottom. Yet another version from those that were close to it all.

Gotcha. You might wanna edit your previous entry then, to show that it was a quote. I still don't really buy it.

I think, that Cubby means he believes that Prince had not been taking any meds. He was trying to handle the pain situation on his own. Thus, when did take the meds he overdosed.

Enjoyed it greatly. Never saw this one.

On most days I probably have increased my Prince consumption tenfold, yet I strongly suspect that I've only broached the tidal wave that began 2 months ago.

Thanks for sharing. Much appreciated.
