It is against the law to trim RasTafari in Jamaica!

Regina vs King

Look it up

Herman "Woody" King was the precedent set when he sued the Jamaican constabulary for beating him up and trimming his locks in the early 60s

The police who trimmed the young lady broke the law!

Privy Council Andrew needs to look up the precedent and charge the cowards {it is cowardice for grown men to beat up a little girl} involved with the disrespect to a human

Four or five grown men held down and cut the hair of a Rastafari sistrin showing the black colonizer is even more abusive than their white master

The behavior is weak

We need the cowardice to be exposed for exactly what it is

Lions

Masculine man need to weed out these cowards from among man

Lion time

Lion and the lamb

The lamb within man is the source of compassion that needs to be taught to our sons and daughters.  The lamb is there to protect those unable to defend themselves.  Our children need to be protected by us

No government will ever protect our children

Yes, they are already aware that their behavior is unlawful with the protection of Privy Council Andrew at the helm yet quoting the law to the white colonizer can sometimes put their black lackeys back in their place

One does not need a "law" to instill moral behavior but we are aware that morals aren't the strong suit of any colonizer, black or white

Always written from feel

The great social experiment
There is no pass or fail
It is the collection of data
Many go with the government mandate
Many cannot
There is no pass or fail
Just the collection of data
They feel safe with the data
Controlled
Some need that law and order
Some aware of the hoax
War
The war of wills
Countries are no longer at war
People are
The chaos compounds and the sheeple cry
Lions stand
There is no pass or fail
Just the collection of data

Jojo

Like lots of truly famous people you can call this man by his first name and the fan base knows exactly who we are talking about

The Canadian reggae lion

One of the most loving, giving and influential humans contributing to reggae music in Canada

The Sattalites are legendary

When I received the news yesterday, the first words to my mind was, "the end of an era"

What an amazing ambassador Daddy Jo is!

He is the Canadian reggae flag bearer

Jamaica sent a good one to these shores back in the 60s

It is clear my love for my reggae daddy but what was also clear, was his love for me

He love many around him

You could feel it in his look and his words

One of my many happy stories that came to mind, was he and I going to watch a tribute of some sort at the Danforth Music Hall.  Jason Wilson asked Jo and I to reach as he was part of an ensemble of about 10 - 15 musicians on stage.  Jo and I arrived late as per usual but just in time to see our bwoy Jason walk to the front of the stage, playing a guitar in a kilt, singing a Bob Marley tune.  A kilt I said

Back then, there were still seats in the Hall.  Lights low with a large number of folks in attendance.  Jo and I walked right down to the stage, banged our hands on the floor of the stage and wheeled up the entire band / ensemble

Jason, before restarting, said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Jojo Bennett of the Sattalites" and the place erupted with a long, loud applause.  My chest still swells with pride for that moment shared with him

The end of an era

When the Bamboo closed, I felt like the Sattalites closed too...lol.  Those many nights of rocking to the band on that dance floor, is a memory shared by thousands.    They were rock stars!  There was a time that if you got to the Boo after 11:30pm on a Friday or Saturday when the Sattalites were playing, you would have to be in a line up going along Queen Street, looping around to the parking lot, east of the club and many actually waited to get into the club

He was my friend

Mentor

Reggae guide

I was once asked, "when are you going to give up on this reggae thing that you do?" And my honest answer was, "When Jojo does"

He still hasn't given up
​

He never will

Ever

He is still trying to book his next gig... trust me on that

I ovastand those who mourn because we truly loved him yet a big part of me feels joy that we were able to share reggae music with him for a pretty long stretch of time

I am truly blessed that his image is on Reggae Lane where I can still hang out with my big brother

Jojo's pride in his work is his legacy to all reggae performers and players of instruments in Canada

The standard bearer of reggae music
