BUNNY WAILER’S “BLACKHEART MAN” ALBUM CELEBRATES ITS 40th ANNIVERSARY!
BY HOWARD CAMPBELL— Bunny Wailer— Forty years ago when Island Records released Blackheart Man, Bunny Wailers’ outstanding debut album, reggae was still underground music in the United States.

“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. That, however, was not the case. The issue surrounding the paternity results of Fabian Marley is still in the spotlight and has taken a new twist, as fingers have been pointed at reggae industry insider Maxine Stowe and her client, reggae veteran Bunny Wailer, for fuelling the situation surrounding Fabian’s paternity. In a recent post made to his Facebook page, Rohan Marley, son of the late reggae legend, named Stowe and Bunny Wailer as the driving force behind Fabian Marley and his ‘antics’.

JAMAICA’S RASTAS SAY “NO” TO THE CARIBBEAN COURT OF JUSTICE!
By Vernon Davidson— THE Rastafari M i l l e n n i u m Council (RMC) says it is opposed to the Caribbean Court of Justice (CCJ), arguing that the court system, particularly in Jamaica, needs to be repaired before any thought is given to full participation in the regional entity. “The justice system here, as reported by the justice minister and others, has one of the worst backlog of cases,” RMC Consultant Maxine Stowe told the Jamaica Observer yesterday. She pointed to her own experience with the estate of her late uncle, Clement ‘Sir Coxone’ Dodd, founder of the famous Studio One, which turned out some of Jamaica’s best recordings and became synonymous with ska, rocksteady and reggae. Dodd died in May 2004. “It’s been 11 years, and at least three family … Read entire article »

HIGH HOPES AFTER THE GLOBAL GANJA MOTORCADE!
Maxine Stowe and Bunny Wailer—- THREE-TIME Grammy winner Bunny Wailer, singer Denroy Morgan and members of the Mystic Revealers band were among the artists who participated in Saturday’s Global Ganja Motorcade/March. The 74-kilometre trek from Emancipation Square in Spanish Town, St Catherine to Goodyear Oval in Morant Bay, St Thomas was reminiscent of the 1865 march of Jamaica’s National Hero Paul Bogle. “The motorcade was well supported with 40 to 50 vehicles,” Maxine Stowe, music insider and ganja legalisation advocate, told the Jamaica Observer. The Global Ganja Motorcade/March is Wailer’s latest attempt to shed light on recent changes in Jamaican law regarding the use and production of marijuana. The first was in 1996, while the second was on April 20 last year. The motorcade is linked to the 150th anniversary of the Morant Bay Rebellion, of … Read entire article »

BUNNY WAILER PREPARES TO DEFEND GANJA!
By Brian Bonitto—- Top: Bunny Wailer Bottom: Maxine Stowe— VETERAN reggae singer Bunny Wailer has turned to crowd funding site Indiegogo to secure contributions in retaining international lawyers to protect Rastafari interests in marijuana (ganja). Wailers One Love ‘Legalize It! RastaGanja campaign was launched last Wednesday with an ambitious aim of raising US$1 million. The singer said the fund’s start date coincided with the Jamaican Government’s revamping of the law to make possession of two ounces or less of marijuana a non-arrestable, ticketable offence, that attracts no criminal record. That day also saw tertiary institutions — University of the West Indies and University of Technology — given the green light to grow marijuana for research purposes. So far, Indiegogo contributions have amounted to a paltry US$100. But Wailer remains optimistic. “Ganja is tied to the Rastafari culture in … Read entire article »

THE CANNABIS BRAND, MARLEY NATURAL, RAISES GLOBAL CONCERNS!
Robert Marley— By Shereita Grizzle– “He’s smiling at what’s really happening right now.” Those were the words of Cedella Marley, daughter of the late reggae legend Bob Marley as she spoke on the family’s decision to make Marley the face of the world’s first global cannabis brand. But ever since the announcement was made a couple of weeks ago, there have been several persons whose smile has been turned upside-down by the decision. Just over two weeks ago, Privateer Holdings, a Seattle-based company, broke news of a partnership with the Marley family that will see them using the late icon’s name to market its brand of cannabis products. Under the moniker Marley Natural, Privateer Holdings will sell premium cannabis products, including cannabis and hemp-infused lotions and balms as well as handcrafted accessories. This move has not gone down well with … Read entire article »
