Summer of Roots continues into its 3rd month: Jah-gust on Smile Jamaica
<August? No, Jah-gust!; 16 sec.>
Here is what I featured on this week’s edition of Smile Jamaica: Aug. 2, 2014
I tell you the story about how Reggae and the Bible and the Hairy Eyeball all mashed up at my sister Stacey’s wedding 20 years ago.
Isaiah 63:1. Verse I turned to at random from Gideon Bible at my sister’s wedding. Reggae lyrics synchronicity: “Who is this man from Bozrah with his garments dipped in blood?” Eerie
<Bozrah and the Hairy Eyeball: Wedding Bell Blues; 2 min 38 sec>
Sista Stacey; her youngest Hayden; eldest Mason – Jah-buquerque, New Jahxico
I love the TV show Ancient Aliens. When I retired from doing political interviews on Radioactive KRCL (2003-2012), I ditched the hopeless of change and embraced my Ancient Alien heritage. Modern Aliens, the Greys? Meh…

<Countdown to the A-Pot-Calypse Love Song: World War III soundclip: #1; 35 sec.>
My friends call me Nelstradamus.
Not really, that is what I call myself to remind them of my dire political prophecies. Nelson + Nostradamus = Nelstradamus.
Nostradamus’s secret conduit to his predictions. The Seven Leaf vapors.
I remember saying to my coffee mates in 2003 that once we invaded Iraq, it would be a new Millennial Crusade. Like smashing your first right in the middle of a hornet’s nest. The Iraqis would most certainly not be greeting us with garlands of flowers and sweet meats.
Redder than Red – Perpetual Wars: North Africa/Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central/South Asia. The real legacy of 9/11 and Iraq 2003
Perpetual war in dozens of West Asian, North African and Subcontinental countries. It’s quicker and easier to count the nations of Jah-frica who *aren’t* at war. Forget peace in the Holy Land. And will the last Christian Assyrian, Chaldean, Yacoubite, the indigenous people – my people – leaving Iraq and Syria please remember to turn out the lights.
Prince Far I: “Jonah went to Nineveh to warn the Nation. Tell them about Jah Love.” Jonah’s (Mar Yunis) tomb in Mosul was destroyed by ISIS jihadis
When Ukraine went hot at the end of the Sochi Olympics, I texted my pals: “World War III. Coming this summer.” They scoffed. I brooded. Sure enough right around the 100 year anniversary of World War Uno, (Aug. 1914) events are shaping up to see another European continental war of brother killing brother. We are back to the modern equivalent of Dr. Strangelove: “we can win a tactical nuclear war.” Yes we can? No effing way!
President Superfly stars in “Cold War the Sequel”: Jihad? More like Yeee-hawwwwd!
<Countdown to the A-Pot-Calypse Love Song: World War III soundclip #2; 21 sec.>
My remote viewing antennae are finely tuned via thousand upon thousand of Reggae prophecies predicting this would happen if mankind didn’t repent.
<Countdown to the A-Pot-Calypse Love Song: World War III soundclip #3; 21>
Rather than be depressed I chose to embrace a nihilistic approach by virtue of those same Reggae lyrics. Listen keenly to this tune I played on this week’s stream that lit up the phones like a Vegas jackpot live on air.
Out of Boston, Jah-suchusetts: “Either way, you’re gonna get probed!”
<Spiritual Rez – Let’s Go Out with a Bang; 2 min 48 sec.>
<A-Pot-Calypse Right Now!: Smile Jamaica intro; 63 sec.>
Lyrical satirical
Girl, they say the end is coming soon
They’re talking about impending doom and total annihilation
Girls, what if what they say is true
There’s nothing really left to do but each other
If the nuclear bombs get deployed tonight
You’ll be glad you got some Afternoon Delight
So take my hand and come into my room
If the end is coming we should be too
Oh yeah: Let’s go out with a bang!
Girl, the tidal wave’s approaching
We might as well start groping
It’s not too late
Girl, if we’re all going down
You might as well be going down
…On me
Get it beyond we’re not an Alien Tribe
All I want is what’s between those thighs
If the Spaceships have surrounded the Globe
Either way you’re gonna get probed
Oh yeah: Let’s go out with a bang!
People are dying
And we’re 69ing
It’s a total panic
And we’re getting tantric
Oh yeah: Let’s go out with a bang!
Fellow devotees of the Anunnaki. Best Reggae novelty song since Smoke Two Joints and Monster Hash. Smile Jamaica approved!

Fort Benton, Jah-tana the Birthplace of Jah-tana and Smile Jamaica
Greetings,
Back from the land of my birth: Fort Benton, Jah-tana. Put a thousand miles on the Dubmobile. I took the long way home
Wheel it back to July 12…
Finished up Smile Jamaica, Saturday Night Stylee from SLC north on a hot evening jag to Idaho Falls. Nice to have late night sun to cruise to. Heavy duty bass tunes to keep me awake without caffeination. Every. Step. of the Way. Bunk for the night. Get in to a Super Full Moon dark sky about Midnite. (213 miles).
Super Moon – the Subwoofer of Moons. I looked for UFO’s. No luck, sadly. New Season of Ancient Aliens on H2 cable/satellite. Friday nights. Smile Jamaica approved
Straight up I-15. Sunday Morning. No road rage here. 6am and I am up. As Bob sang, “Sun is shining and the weather is sweet. Makes me wanna move my dancing feet.” In Jah-tana in July, the Sun is up at 5am and sets after 11pm.
Caffeine + bass = caffabass. Better set the cruise control or Johnny Law will give I the Hairy Eyeball.
Caffeine the Subwoofer of stimulants. Lot of miles of open terrain at maximum volume on the Subaru Hi Fi. Sonicboomya
A heinous drive in the Winter. Until my fams started having Xmas in Jah-buquerque, New Jah-xico a few years back, I got stopped at the Monida pass 3 times in 20+ years You have two choices when the Roads on I-15 get shut down between Spencer, Idaho and Lima, Jah-tana. Or as I call it the 30 Miles of White Knuckles at 25 MPH.
Live like a refugee with thousands of other Snowbirds from Canada, long haul and livestock trucks and other Holiday travelers in the school gymnasium in Lima (population 227)
Hope to Jah you can get a hotel room in Dillon, Jah-tana (-50 miles back over brutal roads) or worse Butte (-112 miles).
Montana + Idaho = Monida Pass. 30 Miles of Vertigo at 50 MPH winds and 30 below. Do not be on this road after dark from November to May. Smile Jamaica Public Service Warning
***
Summer is a different story than White Out Jah-tana
I cross the Continental Divide a half dozen times, half a dozen rivers. Spring Wheat is a carpet of green. Winter Wheat starting to turn golden brown.
Bitterroot Valley, Jah-tana. Like driving through a summer postcard
Jah-tana Runnings:
Wind my way tillButte, Jah-tana. (Hastings chain book/music/movie spot in any Metro city of the Big Sky state.) Lots of cheap rock catalog stuff: Black Sabbath, Alice and Aerosmith for $5. New Beats Antique. (205 miles)
Headed for the People’s Republic of Missoulafor two days of cratedigging and bookdigging (Rockin’ Rudys, Ear Candy Records). Saw the new Planet of the Apes movie. Good but the Hercules trailer looks better. North of $300 at Rockin’ Rudy’s. Lots of buttons, magnets and T-shirts. Added to my Dylan and Drake bootleg collection. Took three clerks and the owner came out as they rang me up. I am known as a “whale” in the Cratedigging biz. Lots of great used stock I read about in Rolling Stone and Mojo. Bob & Gene, Cheech and Chong. Some Missoula reggae, The New CSNY reissue. Ear Candy: Bombay Disco and a group called Kadavar. Checked everywhere but no Vinyl for I’n’ I to be had in Jah-tana. The vagaries of cratedigging. (118 miles)
Not ze German ZZ Top: Kadavar: Ear Candy Records Missoula, Jah-tana
One day back in my old University town, Bozeman, Jah-tana. Main Street stroll: Cactus Records, Vargo’s Jazz and Books. A beer at the resurrected Rockin’ R
Main Street Bozeman. I lived two blocks from here from Sept. 1984-June 1986. Bought 100’s of albums
Not finding good luck in Bozeman lately. The Anchorman 2 and American Hustle Soundtracks was about it. Funny story buying Bob Marley and Johnny Cash Tee shirts in the mall. More to come…(202 miles)
Good movie but better Soundtrack. Hastings: Bozeman, Jah-tana
Then home to the Hi Line (North Central Montana) through Helena (the Capitol) and Great Falls. 35 miles to the Birthplace of Jah-tana: Fort Benton. (225 miles).
bless, robt
Fort Benton, Jah-tana. North Central. Midpoint between Great Falls and Havre.
I work in an Academic Library (The Marriott Library at the University of Utah). Part of my duties is to assist patrons at the Help Desk on Level 2.
It is really quiet in the Summer. I thought I would work up a little birthday posting on account of His Imperial Majesty.
I went to the Marriott’s webpage and found a copy of the above photo: Drawn by Alvin Gittens. Hanging on the fifth floor of the Marriott Library.*
*Alvin’s son Chris trained me at KRCL 90.9FM. His father was flown in to Addis Ababa to paint an impatient Emperor. HIM was only willing to sit for about the half the time Gittens’ usually devoted to his portraits. Chris passed away about a decade ago of cancer.
As I was finishing the caption above, a dapper black gentlemen approached my desk. This is a case of serendipity or synchronicity or kismet. The patron wanted to know, in a crisp African accent, where the Library kept its History books on Ethiopia. The Zion of Rastafari. The Kingdom of His Imperial Majesty. Goosebumps!
East Africa. Capital is Addis Ababa (New Flower)
The Library of Congress Classification for Ethiopian History (or its former name Abyssinia) is in the DT 371-390 shelves.
While I walked this gentleman and his wife to the section, I asked him if he knew today (July 23) was Haile Selassie’s Birthday. His eyes lit up. “How did you know that!”. I told him about Smile Jamaica and my 26 years of devotion to Ethiopian-esque and especially paying tribute and respect to His Imperial Majesty.
He was amazed. I recommended several books I had read. This man is a Physician who was writing a novel set in his home country. We chatted about our mutual admiration for Selassie. He was proud that his country had come out of 25 years of Civil War and repression to be the fastest growing economy in Africa.
It was really nice to know that my admiration of Selassie could be of use in my professional job. And even better: I recruited another soldier of Jah’s Army by virtue of the Rastafari Gospel that I “preach” for 26 years doing Reggae Radio. I let the music function as hymns to HIM.
Go on the Google and search for Ethiopian Angel images. Love their art
A suggestion: It is preferred to call believers in HIM: Rastafari. Singular and plural. As Bob Marley said, “Don’t bother me with your isms and schisms”
<Carlene Davis – Isms and Schisms; 4 min>
That said there are two important caveats: The Rastafarians – the Reggae group out of Rasta Cruz, Collie-fornya. And Leonard E. Barrett’s crucial academic book The Rastafarians
Vinyl outta Rasta Cruz, Collie-fornya. Featuring the greatest performer name in the history of Reggae Music: Herb Daly
Barrett’s book was a huge influence on me. Some of the lessons learned were how important Hinduism was to early Rastas. When Jamaicans threw off the yoke of slavery, British plantation owners imported Hindu laborers from Britain’s India Colony. Blacks and Indians worked side by side.
Hindu influences include:
Reincarnation: Some sects of Rastafari believe that HIM is the embodiment of Christ returning to Earth.
Ganja – Hindus brought Cannabis from India to Jamaica where blacks partook of the Seven Leaf as well
Kali – The Hindu Goddess of destruction where the ritual consumption of cannabis was part of worship. Rastas also ritually smoke cannabis or Collie. “Collie gives you wisdom.”
Dreadlocks – Hindu Sadhus flashed dreads as a physical manifestation of belief. Rastas adopted the practice and modified it with the Old Testament Nazarite Vow
4 days to climb into the Top Ten! Yes I! Get the Fever! O.J. Fever!
3 hours of All Killer, No Filler per usual on Smile Jamaica
Been harvesting nuff Roots to my iPod. Gathered up enough for a likkle set devoted to Neoliberal hit man James Bond.

1994 White Ford Bronco: #1 stolen car in America 20 years ago
So here is what is on tap for Smile Jamaica this afternoon
June 13, 1994 started the O.J. Simpson murder saga that riveted the nation. My family was just as sucked in as everyone else. My brother thought he was having a panic attic as they read the verdict.
A friend of mine owned a 1994 White Ford Bronco fetishized in O.J. and Al Cowlings feeble run for the border.
In the black and Caribbean communities there was a definite belief that O.J. was innocent. Wounds from the Rodney King riots two years previous were still raw.
We are gonna hear an oldie but a goodie defending The Juice at 4:30.

I added a new Tab up top on the Smile Jamaica Webpage entitled Reggae History Lessons
I’m going through Smile Jamaica Ark-Ive air checks and harvesting the stories that I call Reggae History Lessons. My show for 25 five plus years has been to entertain and maybe do a little dab of educating about the Roots & Culture behind Reggae.
All my knowledge of Reggae and Dub for over 25 years makes its way into the show.
Sound clips plus the Smile Jamaica definition and visual cue.
Celebrating his 5-4 victory over Al Gore on Airforce One Love
Greetings,
Hope everyone came out of the Holiday weekend okay. One last 420 before I move on in another musical direction.
Things you may not know and I didn’t tell you during the 20 Days of Cannabis
Adolph Hitler’s birthday – Apr. 20th (1889)
Bay of Pigs attack – Apr. 20th (1961)
Columbine High School Massacre – Apr. 20th (1999)
Deep Water Horizon catastrophe – Apr. 20th (2010)
Nevermind…
I have been doing Smile Jamaica Reggae Radio since Oct. ’89; under George “Ganja” Bush the Elder’s term. History degrees and working in a Research Library also from about ’88’-89.
So I combine my “vocation with my avocation” through little segments I like to call Reggae History Lessons. I am going to add a category of these short sound clips from the Ark-Ive Edition podcasts and a description.
Here is what I “harvested” (pun intended) from the Apr. 19: 20th Annual Cannabis Service Show:
Cannabis History Lessons (4/19/2014 Ark-Ive of Smile Jamaica) ; #1
Kif – Author Paul Bowles, who lived in North Africa, talks to the kif seller. I said, “Kif. From the Arabic kayaf. “To make high”. The sticky trichomes that shake loose from buds and are pressed into bricks of hash in Morocco and North Africa” (53:46-54:31 on sound file)
Kif – Morocco hash
Kif – Paul Bowles clip & Smile Jamaica explanation (45 sec.)
Sensimilla – From the Spanish “without seeds”. Buds without seeds have higher potency or so I’ve heard. I laugh sometimes at the grocery store when I see watermelon labeling in spanish “Sandia sinsemillas”. Seedless. Makes sensi to me! (54:56 in sound file)
I said, “a type of flavor in Jamaica so called because of the fluffy nature of the buds on the stalk looked like a lamb’s tail. From lamb’s tail to lamb’s breath to lambsbread.
All the love from devotees of the Seven Leaf. That sensi salutation above arrived in my text box bright and early.
Glad tidings to you and yours as well. Good luck to Collie-rado and Washington. Let’s tally up more state victories in 2014, 2016 and beyond. Selah!
Abolitionists need to make it as simple as possible in their public messaging: “it’s a plant not a drug”
2016 is gonna be another knock down drag out. “Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right. Here (we are) stuck in the middle with you.”

As I promised on Smile Jamaica yesterday: I did get up to post my Mutant Dub Canna-bass show on Mixcloud and on this blog. I let Mixcloud do their magic and then I made sure all the blog and twitter posts were good to go. Went do bed around midnight. I set the alarm for 4:10.
Here is my alarm clock ringer:
I stumbled to my computer and put a hawk eye on the clock. Exactly at 4:20 AM, I cracked my knuckles and hit send. 4 hours and 20 minutes of Canna-bass at 4:20 AM on 4/20
When I put this Mutant Dub 420 together in my studio with all the sound bytes and clips, I knew that the last song I was going to play was a Peter Tosh (Dub Club) remix of “Legalize It”.
That brought the whole file to 4 hours 19 minutes and 12 seconds. Easy squeeze: I just tacked on a few more cannabinoidal sound bytes to bring the mix to 4 hours 19 minutes and 56 seconds.
Lately I have been ending with a little clip from the Whitest Kids U Know. “Keep safe and keep blazing”. That byte is 3 seconds long.
So by stitching music and dialogue together I was basically 1 second off my original target goal of the 4 hr 20 min and 00 second.
So I had to “cheat” by one second to make it work. 1 second off out of 15,600 seconds. Better rate than the Atomic Clock. Wow Sensi simpatico.
I took a look at the stats on Mixcloud and it looks like 19 people have been taking me up on my advice for their 420 Sensi Soundtrack today. Kool breeze!
As promised, here is the KRCL Live edition of the 20th Annual 420 Cannabis Service Show without commercial interruptions.
“Keep safe and keep blazing”
