No, not a Marley fan. I remember the reggae fad in the late 70's and early 80's. All those white liberal hipsters looked silly smoking dope and walking around with braided hair. Rastafarians were very misogynist and their view of Africa as a promised land was an idealized and romanticized perspective that didn't really align with the complex reality of the horrible things that were going on in that continent.

But that's what happens when people smoke dope. They tend to lose contact with reality.

Just ask Moonglow.

From a western perspective, yes. Just as Islam seems misogynist as well. It is important to remember however, that in all of western Christendom before the feminists of the late 60s and 70s likewise held the belief that man and woman, husband and wife, are ordained by the creator to have their specified & prescribed roles in society.

When I studied it, I was shocked to learn, it is culturally a violation of norms for women to use the herb. The culture is actually more conservative than the current Catholic Church IMO.

I saw him many moons ago at MSG. Not many Honkies there. I really like his music. Our cab nicked my heel when it pulled away from the Garden. Even today, it hurts sometimes, but I still love his music.

I love that song but I wasn't sure about posting it because I was reading that BLM uses that now and I didn't want to cause controversy in a forum that's supposed to just be fun and relaxing. Btw, my best friend got me into him and I saw the movie One Love with him too.
