Re: Remember Jack Herer....Free Eddy Lepp - 2 days ago

Respect to the Hemporer. I have a fond memory cruising around with Jack at Sierra Nevada in Angels Camp. He was so passionate about freeing the plant that given a chance can save the planet! PAPER, FIBER, FUEL , FOOD!! Jack lives on as we hope to carry his dream to fruition. Now so much babylon Bumboclaat interest in privatizing, capitalizing and trademarking a quasi legal plant that capitali

Re: Chronixx loved SF - 6 days ago

Quotewinsome Personally, I thought there was a huge difference between the show in Oakland and the one in SF. The Oak show was solid, and I enjoyed it, but it was not exceptional. Whereas the SF show, which was being filmed, was very impressive. Totally different format, longer dub sections, guest appearance from his friend Rocker T, and a lot more energy on the whole. Highlight for me was Ch

Daniel, Never forget the FRESH limiter Thanks for the breakdown on immigration policy/ cost . That explains a lot. Some people bought tickets to ROTR 2013 with Chronixx as the act they most wanted to see. I think he headlined and that was the only other west coast show to compare attendance to. This whole tour should sell off ( Kelissa & Keznamdi are talented rising stars as well) and th

Re: Jimmy Cliff Booked For This Year's SNWMF - 16 days ago

Quoterootsthroughsidewalks Batch, Attitude, Army, and Pressure have put out tons of amazing new music in the last decade. Every artist evolves. You're using some show that ran a decade ago at this festival as an excuse to constantly skip over some of the most upful talent coming out of the carribbean. Sorry I'm not heady enough to have been at snmwf 05, brah! hows the high horse? But ye

Re: New venue for tribute to the legends San Diego... - 20 days ago

Quoteniceup It looks like they decided that they have sold enough tickets so why replace Midnite when they can just pocket that money. Shady business to have a headliner cancel and not provide a replacement. When Johhny Osbourne dropped off the lineup, he was replaced by Midnite. They still had tickets to sell at that point I guess. I'm always impressed by how SNWMF promptly brings quality rep

Re: Irie Dole interviews Eddie Murphy about his new single "Oh Jah Jah" on Q103 - 4 weeks ago

His voice sounds alright, no surprise Ed E can pay to have a polished sounding tune produced. Who wrote the lyrics to this incredibly generic sounding music? I admit I only made it most of the way through it. It was rough but I've run faster from much more popular acts. " computer write me a song" Ohhh Jah Jah, positive , negative. Right and wrong. Bright or dim?
