March 28th 2008: Rasta Jah Mao
On this the final day of our pilot series, two stories suggested by Fred 2 Baro and Tom Sparks fused to form one glorious song.
Reggae star Mikey Dread passed away - he who introduced the Clash to Reggae and brought about a wonderful marriage of protest and rebel energy – and the story of Chairman Mao Tse Tung’s millions, generated from his publishing exploits during his lifetime and still paying his heirs handsomely, which although dating from 2007 somehow surfaced once again today.
Thanks to DFBMBE for sponsoring this week – all money goes to BuskAid.
