In September 1983, I went to the Greek Theater in Berkeley for a double bill of Black Uhuru from Jamaica and King Sunny Adé and His African Beats from Nigeria. I remember the King Sunny Adé concert for the layers of guitar rhythms that he and his band produced. I

Today's #EarWorm fell upon me like a thunderclap upon opening kolektiva this morning and seeing all the cruelty the Orange Menace is enacting. I'm so exhausted of this year already and it's only the second day of it. Fuck my life.
Black Uhuru - Bull In The Pen
I said, the fence can't hold
Too much bull inna the pen
I said, the fence can't hold
Too much bull inna the pen
The mark of the beast is on a president
I said, the fence can't hold
Too much bull inna the pen
Round the bend, vesting supernatural force
While babies with open mouth holler and shout
Shed tears for food, to eat day and night
Ethiopia is calling, show your African pride
I said, the fence can't hold
Too much bull inna the pen
I said, the fence can't hold
Too much bull inna the pen
The truth doesn't make you less of a man
So mixed South-Africa no, they are lying
You can't get nothing to eat
They all are freaks
Come and get shot
Some send to the desert to suffer
The fence can't hold
Too much bull inna the pen
I said, the fence can't hold
Too much bull inna the pen
The mark of the beast is on a president
I said, the fence can't hold
Too much bull inna the pen
To hide the truth from my people
Why stomp and steer when technology is advance?
Your reward shall be your treat
Some walking up and down the street
With nothing to eat
The fence can't hold
Too much bull inna the pen
The fence can't hold
Too much bull inna the pen
Mark of the beast is on a president
I said, the fence can't hold
Too much bull inna the pen
The mark of the beast is on a president
I said, the fence can't hold
Too much bull inna the pen
Modernized, walking, up and down all over
The fence can't hold
Too much bull inna the pen
Today's #EarWorm brought to you by Black Uhuru and my inability to rip their CD to my mp3 player so I had to download all the tracks from YouTube to compile them. and now this is stuck in my head with a vengeance.
Could be much worse.
Black Uhuru - Anthem
I and I are the living dread
Inna these ya dawn of the living dead
I and I are the living dread
Inna these ya dawn of the living dead
Where minds are decreasing, from a distant culture
Where minds are increasing, 'cause we backing off vultures
I and I are the living dread
Inna these ya dawn of the living dead
I and I are the living dread
Inna these ya dawn of the living dead
Blessed be the children of man
Who together will overstand
Blessed be the children of man
As numberless as grain of sand
I and I are the living dread
Inna these ya dawn of the living dead
I and I are the living dread
Inna these ya dawn of the living dead
Some building costly in the hill
While so many others don't never get no share
Depriving a human of their rights
It's a crime against the worst
Do I have to tell you about prison
I and I are the living dread
Inna these ya dawn of the living dead
I and I are the living dread
Inna these ya dawn of the living dead
Where minds are decreasing, from a distant culture
Where minds are increasing, 'cause we backing down vultures
I and I are the living dread
Inna these ya dawn of the living dead
I and I are the living dread
Inna these ya dawn of the living dead
I and I living out there upfull and bright!
I and I are the living dread
Inna these ya dawn of the living dead
I and I heart of the Maroon art
Taught to the Maroon thought
I and I trod the Maroon trod
Inna desolate places
I and I are the living dread
Inna these ya dawn of the living dead
I and I are the living dread
Inna these ya dawn of the living dead
