As the Hippie Movement turned out to be nothing
but another way of enjoying the system, another
movement was born and the name was Punk.
No more "peace and love", please, for
that was only another word to describe fascism.
Words like "No Future" popped up, and
singers like Peter Tosh pointed out to the fact
that all of this had to do with truth, when he
sang "There ain't gonna be no peace til man
kind equal rights and justice".
Punk was, unlike the Hippie Movement, very
militant and the ideal of anarchy was translated
for a new generation that was confronted with the
extreme downpressure of the state. The militancy
of the original Punk movement was directly aimed
at Babylon Shitstem, just like the Rastafari
Movement, and in spite of the countless cultural
differences, the two movements knew themselves to
be in the same fight.
Musically, Punk Bands would pay tribute to
Reggae Music and this is where the Clash and this
podcast enters.
The Clash was a Punk Rock band that knew
themselves to be connected with Reggae Music and
the message that came out of Jamaica. They teamed
up with producer Mikey Dread and played a number
of cover tunes in which they paid tribute to
Rastafari and Reggae.
Five tunes that celebrate the Punky Reggae
Party!
