Excerpts
“What we sing about is that certain conditions exist and people killing each other and that's a stupid waste. We don't have any solutions except just stop killing.”
Jake Burns Interview, page 4
“Sunsplash began with the dub poet, Oku Onaru. He recited/chanted a few of his works, then he was accompanied by his four-piece band for some more songs. It was a memorable, well received performance expressing the anguish caused by injustice.”
Reggae Sunsplash III, page 12
“Stopping by Channel One Studio, I found a session going on with Sly and Robbie, along with Earl Lindo, Pablo and Skully, working on an album, "Prince Junior Tops The World'" produced by Stewart Chin of Black Ovation.”
