oxygen bird tree
The sun is always shining. We have oxygen, trees, birds. There's so much good things on Earth, still. We haven't destroyed everything.
country tree country-life
I prefer the country life. I live in Kingston, but there is lots of trees.
believe tree yards
I was in my yard and thought that the tree was a living being. We take trees for granted. We don't believe they are as much alive as we are.
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.
