There was a song we used to sing
Whenever this life get us down
Then it would give us hope again
Help pull ourselves up from the ground

My body is achin'
My finger is shakin'
My will is breakin'
Nothing to ease the pain, nooo, ha!

Where did it go?





R. I. P., friend

Damn, I thought he was a lot older than 64.

I shall raise a glass of rum to him this evening.

God damn!
Only CG and I care that the most imortant Jamaican musician of all time
has passed?!?! Shame.
This man broke down walls, had the first top-10 ska track and paved the way for sad imitations like Bob Marley and friends. In addition to starting the so-cool ska sound.
It's the originators that are forgotten.

He will be missed.

Allstonians, Skatallites, Toasters, English Beat, Bosstones, the list is endless...

Shut up.

I'm there with ya.
I just had to do my own goodbye tonight.

I missed this one earlier today. I’m drinking a glass in his honor right now.

I'd rather dig This.

you'd rather be reading your own blog?

well, be off then.

No I'd rather be listening to the Miles Davis/John Coltrane feed dipxit.

Miles and John are damn cool, yes,
but they didn't just die a couple days ago.
This thread is to remember the innovator that passed on Friday.
So the hell with Miles and John.

Oh, and thanks for the smoked olive idea,
I've cooked them up 3 times so far since DC.

Brigitte Fontaine avec Art Ensemble of Chicago: Comme à la Radio
