Vinnie,

Have just spent 20 minutes+ listening to Parts 1 & 2 of the YouTube posting: powerful stuff from a man of great eloquence, stamina (for all his achievements) and consideration for his fellow men.

The Sands of Time only shift - they never change. I hope both young and old, those born from the 1950s onwards who having seen so many barriers brought down but still cannot find the "right" way, will catch hold of the words of Another who came from a more perilous time and consider to hold fast to his words so as to remember the ways in which they should proceed - not only for their betterment and those of their generation, but for successive generations and all times.

Thanks for putting up the links - and thanks to the person who first requested it!

Bagawire is definately a betrayer.

Don't know whether thisthe same person who betrayed Marcus but in the 50's there was a homeless man in Kingston whose hair was so matted and rolled up on his head that it looked liked he was carrying a roll of wire on the top of his head. He became known as 'Bag-a-wire'. Eventualled it was shortened to 'Bagga'.

Also "Bagga-boo", to quote Clancy Eccles?

"Don't you brag and don't you boast
Grief comes to those who brag the most
Why you crummy, you crummy fe true
Why are you acting like a Bagga-boo?"


With the "you crummy" bit, could this have been aimed at Scratch, with Clancy being one of the many disgruntled partners Perry had left in his wake by then?

What is the name of the Dj Style?
