I guess I should clarify - Classic rock from the 60s and early 70s. Most of the country and Raggae are more recent. For Raggae, I like Gregory Issacs, Third World, Burning Spear, just to name a few.

Uprising, Exodus, Kaya... Legalize It, Equal Rights...? And Inner Circle before they were mainstream.

Back in 1982 when I was an exchange student in Iowa I shocked a black store clerk in Des Moines by having a "Bob Marley - Main Man" pin on my jacket. "Do you even know who that is?" she asked. She had never met a white guy who listened to reggae before. Guess it wasn't that big in Iowa back in the day.

Similar story - We used to spend the winters in Phoenix, and I was walking into a Costco wearing a Bob Marley T shirt - 2 black women who were obviously from the Caribbean wanted to buy the T shirt from mePer wrote: ↑Fri Mar 07, 2025 9:07 amAh, OK.

Have you ever visited Cambodia?
Living in Jamaica has made me hate reggae, especially Bob Marley, that I used to listen almost exclusively to.
To me it is like wearing a Che T-shirt.
60's and 70's music is what I grew up with my older siblings playing in the house. Punk, jazz, country is my finds.

While I do like Marley, my favorite Raggae artist is Gregory Isaacs (RIP).Topper wrote: ↑Fri Mar 07, 2025 9:47 amHave you ever visited Cambodia?

I saw him at a small outdoor venue behind a modelling agency in Kingston. It was almost across the street from my place.

Re: Another one bites the dust
Seems the wife died one week before him from having contracted hanta virus disease.
Hackman had advanced alzheimer’s and probably never knew what was happening. Died one week later from cardiovascular reasons.
The dog was crated and probably starved to death, or I guess lack of water is what would do you in first.

Former F1 team owner Eddie Jordan. I've been enjoying the podcast he and David Coulthard have been doing and he came out publicly on the podcast to tell listeners of his deteriorating health.
