father men rights
The most important thing my father taught me is that every man has to stand up for his rights.
rights people community
The African-American community still needs to come together as one and stand up for rights of the people and of what's happening in their culture, their community.
rights government voice
I've spent a lot of time in America since Sept. 11, 2001. Being here, I was noticing that the people, who in the '60s used to voice their opinions about their rights, are much different today. People are afraid to voice opposition to the government in a mass way.
american-journalist life physical
There's more to life than physical and materia.
Everyone will someday be judged for what they do, and Jah is the only judge.
american-journalist
If it is, it is, If it's not, it's not.
american-journalist guitar music pick
It's that kind of in-born music thing-I could pick up the guitar and play something. It's not something I consciously do.
guy happens jamaica music time
Even if I wasn't in music, even if my father was a carpenter, some guy in Jamaica would go 'You're just like Bob. You're just like your father.' That happens in Jamaica all the time.
I'd rather be by myself, really, than have, like, a million posse around me.
american-journalist
I like Flea, I like him as a musician.
against artist bob davis great heat hendrix marley means miles
I am a leader, so leaders always get heat. They're always going against the grain. Jimi Hendrix got heat; Bob Marley got heat; Miles Davis got heat. Every great artist got heat. Heat means you're doing something right.
expression trying able
I am freely able to express myself honestly to the public without trying to polish it over, trying to hide something. I'm just trying to be free with my expression.
father kids son
Some guys that know me from when I was a kid say "My son, oh he's just like your father." It's just a natural part of our lives. But, within the music industry and within the industry of the critiques of music, where it becomes "Ziggy's music is not as good as Bob's music," I don't understand. But I don't really pay much attention to that because I'm just expressing myself.
spiritual thinking political
I'm a spiritual musician, I think there has been enough political musicians and I think everything that can be said has been said about political, social things, you know, and there's still some more to be said but not much.
