As the years elapse and the more I learn abt Bob, the more I dislike him. How can a man be approaching his death and refuse to write up a Will? Kwani he thought his wealth was a fluke?

Bob's death caused Rita Marley a career in the music business. She has had legal wrangles all these years, each member of the Wailers trying to stake out royalties for songs they co-wrote with Bob.

I went scouting abt leo for classics and I came across the Mighty Diamonds. What happened to this group?

I respect Bunny Wailer big time. His tunes are timeless.

Wonder if the concert this thursday in Camden London is still on? If so, I'm there to pay tribute in heart and smoke. Yeah.

I miss the days when I'd tune in to KBC's reggae time every Monday and Thursday and listen to everlastings classics by Burning Spear, Jimmy Cliff, Gladiators, Israel Vibration, Abyssinians, Eek-a-mouse, Bushman, Hugh Mundell, Sly & Robbie, Sylford Walker & Welton Irie, Culture, Augustus Pablo, Sugar Minott, Horace Andy, Steel Pulse, Sister Nancy (she is the one who originally sang 'What a Bam Bam) and Marcia Griffiths.

These days, lots of MCs seem to suffer from amnesia. They have forgetten the heavenily spiritual reggae classics of yester-years. This whole week as I mourn for dear brother Joseph Hill, I'm listening to all the classics I can lay my hands on.

Where is Burning Spear these days? Below are some links to some timeless videos.

Any word on the concert? I wonder if they will carry on or head back to Jamaica.

Great video...those folks were in the spirit. Did u see the French subtitles? The message of Rastafari is eternally rooted in the hearts of the people. RIP Joseph Hill, the world will be a different place with u mortally gone.

Check out the Congos jam session:-Long live the throbbing of the nyabinghi drums.

I'm happy the show went on and peepz put away their sadness to celebrate the life of a true soldier of Rastafari.
