Y'know , In Alan White's biog of Marley ..' Catch a fire '
( best music biog I ever read and much recommended for any Bob fans ) I'm sure he says ' I and I' means ' Me and my people'
Or Me and my brethren ?
Just something I remember.
Mind you I'm not saying anyone is wrong or right . I think the only people who fully understand Jamaican patois are Jamaicans.....who speak Jamaican patois ..
I bought an LP a long time ago in Spain entitled "Talkin blues"
This is an album of Wailers classics and in between each track a snippet of a Bob interview.
I'll play it next week because I'm sure he says something similar.
Does anyone know if I can record audio on a samsung tab and put it on here ?.
.Oh Mr Charlie and Gav B......
Marvelous posts ! Spot on as far as I can see !
I'll add though that the "Back to Africa " movement under Garvey also believed that Jamaica was still a modern day 'Babylon" hence the wish to return to Africa.
However when Bob played in Africa I personally believe it stunned him when he saw the repression there . I even think it led to him giving in to his illness. My opinion only of course.
