Bob Marley,
"Babylon system is the vampire,
Suckin the children day by day,
Me say: de Babylon system is the vampire, falling empire,
Suckin the blood of the sufferers,
Building church and university,
Deceiving the people continually,
Me say them graduatin thieves and murderers;
Look out now: they suckin the blood of the sufferers.
Yea-ea-ea! (sufferers)
Tell the children the truth."
After the gunmen shot and injured Bob Marley, Rita Marley, and others, Marley and his friends fled to their Blue Mountain retreat, where machete wielding rastafarians provided security. A hippie photographer who'd been doing photo shoots was the only outsider to accompany Bob's group.
The photographer gave Bob a pair of boots and when Bob put them on he cried OUCH and pulling off the boots a sharp copper wire was found sticking in the leather. The injured toe was broken six months later in a soccer game in London and found to be cancerous. The cancer killed Marley.
The "hippie" was Carl Colby, son of William Colby, aka Central Intelligence Agency Director William Egan Colby.
"Bill" Colby and his wife Barbara were drinking buddies with my parents. He was actually, for the CIA, an honest honorable man and a liberal. He was murdered, but that's another thread.
