"The Harder They Come, The Harder They Fall"
One and all.

Damn, just found this on Encore 340, half done. Jimmy Cliff's documentary on coming of age in Jamaica in the 60's. I haven't seen this in 30 years.

Great ending, IIRC...gonna halfta watch it....

4. Hello Sister!
Really was quite a fascinating documentary for the times. I'm getting a contact high just watching all the spliff rollin and bong burning their doing...LOL.

Seeing the planes drop in and picking up the bales....those were the days, $5 bucks bought you 1/2 a Wonder bread bag full of the ganja.

The movies got it all. "Who's making all the money?"

2. Jimmy Cliff. Oh yea! That's the ticket mon!
I almost married a guy from the Caribbean in my former life. I would be posting from St. Georges, Grenada instead of from GA if not for a twist of fate.

Back to the music: Jimmy Cliff: GREAT!

6. This was quite a political movie, actually.
The story is about a poor Jamaaican kid who sings his way to fame...only to be oppressed by the man. And Jimmy rebels against him, in a big way.
