you did. were you not at the show I just saw of Burning Spear two weeks ago, and let me tell you something, the Spear was running that crowd of 15000 at the hollywood bowl. Reggae is not like rock, it does not have to progress. The Abyssinians made ONE ALBUM IN 38 YEARS and it still one of the most popular, important and influential albums of ALL TIME, and when I saw the Abyssinians three weeks ago I dropped to my knees in tears it was so perfect, as much as it was any time ago. The same is with the Spear, the tunes he does are perfect, and he still does them with as much zeal and energy as ever, if not more I say...
