Anyone else listen to Peter Tosh?

[tdavie]

I've just started listening to reggae (Bob Marley, The Wailers, Peter Tosh, Burning Spear, Black Uhuru, Buju Banton, Sean Paul and others. I know that Peter Tosh started The Wailers, taught Bob Marley how to play guitar and is very, very pro marijuana, and during the One Love Peace concert in Jamaica (1978), he smoked a joint live on stage before the Jamaican Prime Minister which resulted in a cracked skull beating. Until he was murdered in 1987, he remained staunchly pro peace, pro black, pro freedom and stood for nothing less than 100% legalisation of marijuana.

If anyone wants to check out some good tunes, please give em a try.

i'm a fan
i saw him warm up for the rolling stones wayy back when
believe it or not he was booed alot as
most people had no clue what he was about back then and
all they could give a shit was about the stones
he even had a song he did with mick jagger that was on snl
that was called walk and don't look back.

another guy to check out who was also awesome is jimmy cliff
who used bunny wailer as his guitarist.
i had the pleasure to burn with him and his band once
after a gig
great guys...
