Peter Tosh interview - New York 1986

[@KesslerWatsonMusic]

Tosh was one of the only people who never sold out his beliefs and stayed true to himself. He speaks truth

[@Itegrator]

Kessler Watson true!

[@zxingzxing]

This Interview given by my dear friend Peter Tosh is in my opinion landmark, it's shows you how passionate a person Peter was, the guy always spoke from his heart, actually those in his inner circle will testify that he was a man with a great sense of humour and compassion for the poor and the oppressed, Lord have Mercy on my brothers soul, Courtesy of Steppin Razor

[@TheIaluma]

@ Neville Cawas Bardoliwalla OBE - So True, this why the Powers that be took his life so violently, he is not afraid to speak his mind against the system and the authorities at all.

May he rest in peace,

Was it a similar outcome for the Late Great Vaughn Benjamin?

[@TheIaluma]

I am not singing come shake my rass and I swam the ocean and clime up the mountain. Forever hilarious from a great legend. May The Peace & Blessing Of God and The Ancestors Of Africa Be upon You Brother Peter. You would forever be Loved and Remembered by all of us. STILL EQUAL RIGHT AND JUSTICE FOR ALL (Black Lives & Artists Matters ).

[@onahgodwin4878]

That's a punchline

[@elizabethhann4028]

@@onahgodwin4878 It is. But it's a *good* punchline. I mean to say it's *apt* as well as funny. Goodness knows Tosh was *not* on his best form here (please see what I wrote about this interview) and I found his criticism of silly love songs to be rather *too* harsh (I'm rather fond of silly love songs myself). But even I don't love every silly love song that comes down the pike, and Tosh's words - however vicious they were - serve as necessary criticism of the glurgey gloop that too often (circa '86, when this interview was filmed, and right now, too) passes for sweet songs of love, on Black radio as well as on the wh!te-bread Top 40.

[@smahmoud]

The best pieces ever sung by Bob Marley were written by Peter Tosh and the original wailers. Bob just continued singing Peter Tosh's songs like No woman no cry, Get Up Stand UP, Trenchtown Rock, etc... Peter Tosh was such a nice guy and he loved Bob even after he betrayed him, for Babylon. Legally Peter Tosh could have sued Bob Marley in court but he didn't do it. Imagine if Peter Tosh and Bob were still in the same group and still alive!

[@RocStone]

so what about Bob's 7 other albums that peter wasn't a part of? raaaasbloodclaaat...!!!! Bob couldn't be touched by any songwriter because his best pieces were written by him, but Peter stood his own...also if you didn't know Bob bailed Peter on several occasions and helped Peter out behind the scenes where no one knows... know your history.. in spite of what the general public thinks, friends have disagreements but they remained friends, get it right bumboclaat!!!

[@junglist6296]

Bob Marley sell out to Chris Blackwell and turn his back on the ones he started out with and end up being a puppet because of fame and fortune

[@Talkinghelps2023]

Bob and Peter hook up often , brothers. Always , Babylon wants to sell the divide aspects . Ask any brethren around at the times . Bob love Peter and same

[@fargooseisaac4154]

It is common to find a student become better than his teacher. Bob learned from Peter and he added charisma and well-manneredness to achieve greater heights

[@fredvan6043]

Total nonsense! There's no evidence whatsoever that songs like the ones you mentioned (except for one of third of "Get up stand up" which was a joint effort indeed) were written by Tosh. On the contrary, Tosh has been sued by Joe Higgs for recording & unrightully taking the credits for "Stepping razor", written by Higgs. And why exactly did Marley betray Tosh? After all, it was Tosh who left the group because he wantd to be in the spotlight too.

[@amoakulion3650]

@@rancid1015 Peter wasn't at all what you'd call "progressive". Aside from his Afrocentric beliefs, he was pretty hardline socially conservative in every other regard. He believed in strong gender roles (male and female). I don't think you postmodern leftist freaks would have really liked him if you actually knew him personally.

[@MsNooneinparticular]

"Turn on the radio 24 hours a day hearing "Darling, I love you." That definitely applies today. If Tosh was this frustrated in '86, imagine how pissed he'd be in 2017. Would probably give himself a stroke after hearing Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Lil' Wayne & all the rest.

Peter, was owed money from the north American tour with the stones,plus royalties from their label.Thats why he held on to Keiths house in Jamaica but when he was told that he had no legal claims to the property he left it wide open to squatters in the community and went back to Kingston. I know this for a fact because my Cousin help to trash the house and raised his goats on the property.
