LINDSAY & LEE 'SCRATCH' PERRY

As far as I'm concerned, every song that Bob Marley sing is good. That is the only artist in Jamaica I really admire and nothing Bob can do can be wrong as far as I'm concerned. I just like the way he's professional. I think he's the best. I and him can ever quarrel 'cause there are certain things between me and Bob that no one can understand. We work together, we have ideas and in Jamaica, professionally and musically we are blood brothers man so there's nothing he can do wrong for me. You see, I believe in originality and Bob is original... Most of the time I have a pen writing while he's singing. And I write while he sings it. I don't tell not lie, Bob Marley great man!

I KNOW THERE IS NO END

We don't deal with death. All the meaning of Rasta is in life. The gift of JAH is life. The path of sin is death. If man doesn't sin, well, we know miracles have happened to people and they still live. We know there are wonderful paths. We have a guardian angel that guides us. If you do something bad, then this spirit is vexed and you can die. Humans give importance to death because they don't understand God. They don't see Rastafari is God. They know nothing about the changes on this earth. There is no end. There will be no end.

I DON'T BELIEVE..I KNOW

I don’t believe, you know.  When you believe, you have doubts.  You have to know.  I know that His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie is God Almighty. That’s what I know.
