Last night was a good night. I attended the VP Records album release for Chin, over at Tammany Hall in Manhattan. It was there that I had the chance to meet Damien Marley; a very inspirational artist and individual all together. I mean he's a living legend and I'm not going to lie; I'm not an avid reggae fan, but to be in the realm of music and not know who he is and what he stands for. Well, all I can say is you need to be in a new profession if you really don't.He is to the whole culture of reggae and music on a whole as;Sigmund Freud is to psychology, Jacques Cousteau to aquatic studies and so forth. He is the pinnacle, always striving, reaching and breaking new grounds and I make this point to subsequently bring this photo to your attention. (Look Below)
Is she for real? Are we as a society for real? Is that what Dr. King died for? When Damien's father (th late Bob Marley) uttered "Sit Up Stand Up Don't Give Up The Fight"; I don't think he quite envisioned a society of uneducated folks on a whole, running around. Now I don't like to call anyone stupid because; we at large are stupider for not teaching the younger generation what's what. But on a whole, c'mon son! How you not going to know who and what Dr. King accomplished as a young black woman? Are her parents to blame for this inadequacy? Or perhaps television and other forms of media as a whole for undernousrishing this generations minds? I can't really say who is to blame but since the advent of Google no one and I do mean NO ONE should be this stupid period. Whoops! I called her stupid. Oh well f**k it- I'm stupid to for not sharing my knowledge with her so were all in a stupid circle.
