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....

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?"

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.
