You don't know what the expression sweet and innocent means?
For one thing they don't look like rough and cruff ghetto youth. They look very cleancut and wholesome. Quite baby faced too...especially Bob and Peter. Compare it to this just a few years later. Even before dem locks up and beard up dem look so rough:

Dat is kina ah very broad brush yuh using, isn't it? Mi knew many youths (boys and girls) inna di ghetto whe noh look "rough and cruff". Matter of fact, som ah dem was heartbreakers, an very good looking.

This has nothing to do with disdain. Look...I am not a faker. I tell it as I see it. Sorry if I am not spouting the politically correct line.
As part of my work, I have been to a few of those communities like Jones Town, Hunt's Bay, Cassava Piece Bay, Majesty Pen, Decante Centre and that horrible place off Mountainview called Back a Bush. I felt very sorry for the children having to live like that. I am not judging anybody or putting anyone down... but, to me, the men looked VERY rough around the edges and I am not just talking about their clothes. Just how they carried themselves ....very rough indeed.
In the first picture of the Wailers, they didn't come across that way. They even look approachable here:
and they look friendly here:
but in the second
and in this one:
Probably is just the screwface demeanour.
I still like their music and I have liked it every since I first heard it.Last edited by Tropicana; 03-11-2013, 06:20 PM.Comment

How am I judging? I am the one who drew up the divorce papers by the way. The marriage lasted only 2 or 3 days and we can't even agree on how it ended.Originally posted by jah_yout View Post
You're going to tell me Bob doesn't look rough and tough here.
Compared to:
Man is he every happy here with Cindi though...man they really loved each other:
