Thread Name: BS: Haile Selassie (1892-1975)
Subject: RE: BS: haille selassie
I remember in my late teens reading a serious article about Rastafarianism,
which completely disillusioned me.

What I thought might help me understand the mystifying lyrics of great reggae songs,
actually enlightened me as to the crackpot reactionary misogynistic homophobic ganja addled nature
of what at the end of the 1970s was a media glamourised trendy 'religion'...

Oh well.. the music is still amongst the best ever created...
