The Specials: On racism

[@andrewsnoch804]

Terry thank you for your voice and music over all these years. Guy from Poland which lives in the UK :-)

It is so sad when all the musical heroes of one’s youth pass on. Without knowing it, the Specials implanted seeds in my young eyes and ears. Seeds of tolerance. Seeds of inclusion. Seeds of multiculturalism. Seeds of standing up for the underdog. The message of their music is as much-needed today as it was 40 years ago. ✊🏼 RIP Terry Hall. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílís. Comebhrón lena chlann agus a chairde. 🫶🏼 From an Irish fan living in Mexico. 🏁

Sad seeing john n terry here knowing they r gone now

Their song "Racist Friend" is as relevant now as it was 30 years ago - hate wears the fashions of time, but underneath this seasons colours... hate is still hate... "if you have a racist friend, now is the time now is the time, for your friendship to end"....
