I remembre as in B. Marley's song ''Buffalo Soldiers'' ; many africans were deported to fight the Indipendent War for America; fighting the Native Americans and the Civil Watr between North and South; included all the continent too...and not just as slaves! War; includes words for the Jamaican Civil War with gangs & politicians Leaders... Michael Manley and opposition leader Edward Seaga embracing two previously notorious rival gang leaders, Bucky Marshall and Claude Massop thanks to a famous Bob Marley Concert praying for Peace; and as in ''War'' talking about all Wars in Africa !

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Great insight. Thanks!

Thanks John, really appreciate that!

[@nicholasszohner7933]

I believe that you would enjoy Bunny Wailers work as well-Bob's half brother who was an original Wailer along with Peter Tosh-another Reggae great. They both have many great songs, as well.Stepping Razor is a good starting place for Tosh(you've probably already heard Legalize it) and Jammins is a great song by Bunny who was at the front of the Dub style of Reggae.

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Really appreciate the suggestions and thanks for watching Nicholas Szohner!

[@deepbluehue3]

This is the song infamously covered acapella by Sinead O'connor on Saturday night live before she ripped up a picture of the pope ... Wanting to draw attention to important issues with good intentions ... - Only ended up with the public focusing on her Blasphamy ... ' The road to hell is paved with good intentions ' ... comes to mind Perhaps she still might say it was worth it ... The whole reason she shaved her head early in her career was so she wouldn't look like just another manufactured pretty female pop star ... So rebelling against the status quo has ... always ... been ...

Great tidbit I of course remember that iconic moment but didn't remember it was this song. Thanks Deep!

A chosen child from the city of Harar I think it was? He was named Ras Tafari who later became Haile Selassie I the Emperor who ruled for over 50 years before being over thrown.

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Wow long time!

[@davidrust9930]

He was ambushed in Jamaica and shot for trying to bring peace between the two political parties in Jamaica, and yet after that he was still able to bring the two Waring side's together for a peace concert at the National Stadium in Jamaica.

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Thanks for Watching!

He wrote " ambush in the night" after that

[@josdaily1153]

Bob had his finger on this. Thaks for reacting to this.

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Thanks Jos!

[@poetgb]

This is also a first listen for me. Musically is has a funk and a groove and has a relaxed sound. Lyrically it appears to have a message on war and different classes of people. It does have catchy rhythm like you said Trey. A straightforward review and reaction by you guys.

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Thanks Poet, ya I am not real well versed in Marley

Yes he did hold this speech,,,when people still believed the UN and US would give a damn about wars. Not the case.

War is about the country fighting against one another when Africa government was divided by two political people who constantly fought each other over their own beliefs. They were killing each other daily. Bob single handedly fixed it. He had a concert for the people and invited both rulers to be there for the people. During one of his songs he called both of them on stage and United them both in front of the people!!! His music healed them they had no choice but to feel the rythm and power.

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

Wow what a story. Thanks!

[@hotroddie05]

@@ReactionsToTheClassics you’re welcome. There are a lot of other artists that sing about oppression and the struggles that country goes through even till this day. Most people think Babylon was a cool place but in reality it’s a very bad place. Here is 2 artist you can search up. Midnite “ Bushman “ and “ Propaganda” are two good ones to listen to and then Israel Vibrations “ Licks and Kicks” and “ Vultures “ is also good to start with. And no you don’t have to be stoned to feel Rastafarian music. Enjoy and keep up the great reactions.

[@hotroddie05]

@@ReactionsToTheClassics welcome

[@alntr2872]

The Rod, I think your mistaken here. Read up on the issue with Italy and Ethiopia in 1939 and the environment of what was going on in Africa during the 1960's, that's when the Africans were beginning the fighting of guerilla wars against the colonists in South Africa and Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe). War is a song of an anticolonial stance because Haile Selassie was trying to assist with the struggles of the Africans against the colonists. What you are referring to happened in Jamaica, where political violence was a very serious issue in Jamaica. In a concert in Jamaica he invited the leaders of the opposing sides on stage to shake hands in an attempt to quell the violence. There are numerous documentaries on line about the whole situation. Read up also, you have to remember that Marley was also a Garvyite because he was a Rasta. So read up on Marcus Garvey and Moritmo Planno etc. Marley was a revolutionary, it is said that the CIA had a file on him. But read up, you'll find out a lot.

[@sunshynff]

I know this is an old reaction, and I don't' know why the dumb algorithm hasn't put me on to your channel sooner, but I really appreciate you doing a song of Bob's that's rarely reacted to or even played, great analysis too, I just subbed. In my opinion, we separate class, skin color and race in our societies around the globe, but I feel like class/wealth/power, which ever label is used, is the true factor when it comes of oppression and inequality. Race, skin color, culture, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, etc..are merely used as tools by rich and powerful, to separate the people of lesser means, as a way to "other" a certain group within society, and marginalize them so that the masses don't look up at the people truly responsible for their lack of basic human rights, it gives them someone else to blame, and be angry with. It's a story as old as the human race, and one we need to stop from being played out. Oh yeah, fun fact: The reason that speech in particular meant so much to Bob, besides them believing he is Ja or a prophet, Ethiopia is the spiritual homeland to the Rastafarian religion. Another interesting thing is, the prevailing hypothesis argued by many scientist that 4-7 million years ago, when our ancestors, the hominins, split from chimps and bonobos, and left the safety of the jungle canopy and learned to walk upright, happened around the Great Rift, which was large section of rain forest that vanished, relatively quickly in evolutionary terms, due to tectonic plate shifting and which happened in modern day Ethiopia. There's also a direct link between early hominins to Mitochondrial Eve who lived appx 7-10k years ago in a nearby region, she is the matrilineal most recent common ancestor of all living humans. Every human female alive today has a direct lineage back to her. I just think it's interesting how many things in ancient history point to one specific place in Africa. Take care!!

[@The10thManRules]

I do not believe that there are more good people than bad people because of the current state of human affairs. Most people are just obedient to "law and order", work to live employees, and consumers of products and services. My example of a good person is Martin Luther King, Jr. He did the right thing for the common man, not just black people, despite the law and the risk to life, liberty, and livelihood. He was murdered for his troubles. Good people that actually try to right the wrongs of the status quo will first be discredited, then detained, and eventually destroyed: ie MLK

[@ReactionsToTheClassics]

I disagree. I think the bad people have the loudest voices and positions of power. The minority always screams the loudest, just check it out throughout history. Thanks
