Excerpts
“…it was important for us to show booking agents, field managers, promoters, printers, and all the others, who needed to find out and know that reggae groups can go through a program that has been set up months before without copping out….”
Bunny Clarke, of Third World, page 4
“I think what is important is that we have guys who really like reggae music and my theory for the past ten years has been that for reggae music to be successful you need to have white people play it and seeing them play it honestly and with some reverence and rock it a little bit—.”
Robert Zohn, The Blue Riddim Band, page 10
“And then we played The Downliner. That was the first time it really freaked me out. All these people hanging out in leather. I did not know what was going on.”
Willie McNeil, Abuse, page 19
