..So the skinheads used to stomp to the ska, right alongside the dreads & the heads, seen? This was what? The late 70s? I'm (almost) too young to remember... Suddenly, they started in with the goose-steppin' (Nazi Punks, Fuck Off~!)
My salvation came in 1982 when I dropped the needle on Bad Brains' self-titled album. That PMA was something I had been searching for, so "I chose to read the Holy Bible, and take what JAH had given me." Then they hit me with some serious dub when I heard Jah Calling. I was so stunned, I had to ask my mom... "What IS this?" She said Bob Marley... LOL~!
My mother, in her wisdom, gave me to my Grandparents to raise me, and they, in their wisdom, gave me drums~! The neighbors would come for coffee and complain about the racket as I gradually brought order from the chaos. "At least we know where he is...", they'd reply with a wink and a wry smile.
And that Crazy Baldhead can still be found to this day... in the Dancehall, bangin' a bass drum, kickin' every ass in the room at the same time~! REWIND SELECTOR~!
