By Mel Cooke Bunny Wailer, at the Trench town culture yard, after a march through the Corporate Area in support of the legalization of marijuana. Tomorrow, April 10, is the 70th birthday of Neville ‘Bunny Wailer’ Livingston, OJ. Part of the celebratory activities is the launch of the RASPECT Cause Campaign A Jamaica/South Africa collaboration on ganja rights, for which Bunny Wailer is the ambassador. It is an appropriate time to tell the story of his song Fighting Against Convictions, which Wailer first told to The Sunday Gleaner in May 2010. Bunny Wailer’s Fighting Against Convictions (popularly known as Battering Down Sentence), was written while he was serving an 18-month sentence for marijuana at the Richmond Prison Farm in St Mary and is the second song on his classic 1976 album, Blackheart Man.

The announcement was made at the International Reggae Day Conference, held at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel on Friday, July 1 (International Reggae Day). “It is a very … Read entire article »

According to a story in Fort Lauderdale’s The Sun Sentinel newspaper, Wailer was advised during a ‘routine consultation’ that ‘it would be harmful for me to continue under these … Read entire article »

By Tonya Alanez and Marian LiuContact Reporters— Reggae icon Bunny Wailer was reportedly in the hospital after missing his Fort Lauderdale concert Friday night.

BUNNY WAILER’S “BLACKHEART MAN” ALBUM CELEBRATES ITS 40th ANNIVERSARY!

“I DID NOT PUT FABIAN MARLEY UP TO ANYTHING” MAXINE STOWE SAYS NOW!
By Shereita Grizzle Maxine Stowe– When it was proven that the late reggae legend, Robert Nesta Marley was not the biological father of singer Fabian Marley, the world may have thought that the whole issue would have ended then and there.

THE ALBUM “BOB MARLEY AND THE WAILERS LIVE!” CELEBRATING 40 YEARS!
BY JAMES ROSE— Musical acts don’t generally make their name on a live album. Usually the act is well-established and the live set comes out to feed the beast; capitalise on momentum built in the studio, and/or to give the artist time in rehab. But in the mid-1970s, the concept of the live album wasn’t that old, and so, as the music world began to seek out forms of music that relied heavily on the atmosphere at the moment of its delivery, the live album seemed perfect. Few artists came to life on stage more than Bob Marley. When he turned up at the Lyceum in London in June 1975, and someone turned on the mics to lay down Live! (released in December, 1975), not only was reggae born as a landmark pop music genre, … Read entire article »
