Oh my. I thought he has already passed. RIP Quincy.

I watched "The Greatest Night in Pop" on Netflix last weekend. I highly recommend it. Highly. For those of us around when "We Are The World" came out, it is not only a trip down memory lane, but tells stories we may not have been fully aware of.

Warning: The song will be in your head for days following the watch.

Again, highly recommended.

War is where the government tells you who the bad guy is.
Revolution is when you decide that for yourself.

He was a genius.
