Re: Quick Quiz (For Tuff Gong Only)

Okay at least we agree on some things. It's not totally hopeless:

3. Bob Marley...I love Black Uhuru. I also like Third World and I believe you and I talked about them before we stopped talking and you like them too. I love Bunny Wailer and enjoy his interviews. I hadn't seen a photo of him for a while and when I say him interviewed on a video that I have, at first I thought he was a Professor of Musicology from UWI, that is how well he spoke. He is really knowlegeable. I liked Peter Tosh until he wrote Legalize it and BC Oh RC. After that, I used to cut him up. I answered the phone one day and got a surprise. It was Peter Tosh on the other end of the line. My ex's friend new him and my ex got Peter Tosh to play a practical joke on me as he knew I was cutting up Peter every time his name was mention sake a de 2 songs. It was funny. Never cut him up after that. It's a good thing I did not spout off as usual. Clearly he had a sense of humour. Got to give him props fi dat.
4. I'll count that as agree.
5.One more thing we have in common...we are both Jubilee babies.I agree Blue Mountains are gorgeous. I must check out the other places you mention.
6. Plantain is awesome
7. I have been to Cuba.
8. We agree on NFL

<span style="font-weight: bold">Some agreement in 6 out of 10 questions</span>.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Bonus:</span> What are your 3 favourite Bob Marley Songs?

<span style="font-weight: bold">Mine:</span> Nice Time, Smile Jamaica, Could you be Loved....and many more.

The only original thing on this list that Michael can be credited with is Bauxite Levy.
Every other programme that it was claimed he introduced or invented existed in one for or the other before and it was either renamed of bastardized by Saint Mike and his gang.
I was put out of school for locks in the 70s, much good having a basic school for some favoured children did.
As for patron of the arts......yeah his mom's and her name. Check Eddie's record on arts and culture. Unmatched in history of Independent Jamaica.

I never knew what he was singing about....what was the Ballistic Affair...the rivalry between different communities in West Kingston or was there a specific incident that inspired this song.

Love the version too and in fact just about anything by Dilinger.
