There was a time in my youth when I suffered from a severe case of "reggaemylytis" with Steel pulse, Buju Banton, Yellowman, Cocojam, Tropical Depression and of course the late great Sir Bob Marley
Its been eons since I "stomped to the riddim' in a reggae stylee....."
My FB Posts says it all:
Lessons Learned from Bab Marley Day:
1. Everything's gonna be alright
2. No matter how tight security is and there are CCTV and cops everywhere at the concert venue. The stoners find a way.
3. Some idiot dreadhead lit up beside (for "camouflage") the Police Command Post. After a few puffs he was apprehended for not passing after 2 puffs.
4. One love, one heart....but there is still so much hatred in the world. EVEN in Jamaica.
5. Sometimes, when you don't pay attention to detail you screw up an opportunity to meet a gorgeous Goddess or maybe make the best performance of your life as a street comic.
6. In a reggae concert be observant, if a wayfarer wearing dreadlock rasta version of the Wendy's mascot lady approaching you is smiling with some "free pastries" and after taking one she charges you PhP 50 for a brownie....This is right BEFORE you meet a Goddess for dinner. With some band doing a cover of "Lively Up Yourself". What she actually said was "Jamacan Brownies, 50 pesos only").

Oh, and please read CAREFULLY what is printed on what you think was a Wendy's shirt"
7. I know this was my first entry to a dreadlock holiday in decades..... it was great.
I just believe so much in the words of my classmate Bob "Deuce Bigalow" Baynosa. "If you will crash. BURN in style..." I add: In a "blaze of glory"
Keep the faith. Everything IS gonna be alright ONE LOVE!

Oh the date? It depends how you look at it. I was hilarious. Met wonderful lady. Smart, sexy and real.... She was also angelic.....
Again, I sincerely believe Sir Bob when he said-Everything's gonna be alright!
