Do You Believe There Is More To Lee Perry & Black Ark ?

[jordandance]

Can we talk about something different on here. This has been driven into the ground.

Should that have been in all caps?

i used to work with a woman who lived down the road from the ark.
she told me the story about the ball being stolen and his match-wielding response.
she also told me that he spent a whole month walking backwards in response to some other thing he was angry about. i think that was just after the ark was burned.
she said he was "the crazy man" of the neighborhood.

i had a good laugh about all that. most geniuses can be considered crazy, right? or maybe they are just more perceptive in some ways...but then again, i don't quite know about the lake titicaca business...

@ jahlionyouth
He admitted he burned it down in several interviews. But he also claimed he is the inventor of the American Dollar, was born on another planet, his mother was queen Sheba........

@Oras, look at this video. It was shot in '77/78 ( not 82 as mentioned!) Look at all the garbage, the black walls etc.
Imagine how it would have looked like 2 or 3 years later. It was simply impossible to record anything there after 79...

@ whalleywhat

There was a second attempt to rebuild the ark ( the video you are referring to is called '10 minutes of madness' )
But due to his bizarre behaviour it failed. He wanted a duckpond in the drum booth for example...

@ picaraza
perry's post black ark work is nowhere near anything from black ark. black ark had a certain sound, you know?

Go deh Mr. Mountain! You gave enough info in the title for people to avoid if they don't want to read or write about the subject. Don't let others' negativity stop you from seeking facts or opinions...
