Reflection on Professor Rex Nettleford's life and work

[petbur]

Rex - Sorry I chopped your vine down at Long Mountain House! You were a good neighbour as well as a genius

I really hope that at some point in time he got himself right with God because God will not accept gays who are unrepentant of their behaviour. To say bout time the battyman dead is not good. We have all sinned and come short of the glory of God and no sin is weighed more than the other. If he was unrepentant of his gay behaviour, then only God knows what will happen to his soul. He WAS rich, now MAYBE POOR, He was an intellectual, now HE MIGHT HAVE PROVEN HIMSELF TO BE THE FOOL IN GOD'S WORLD.

@spiritsexist Please to come off the people dem channel if you don't have anything respectful to say about a great human being. Isn't it a sin to disrespect the dead?

@Juvy29 You are such an ass. If you have nothing good to say SHUT UP.

Your voice was like a resounding chorus heralding the richness of our Caribbean Culture in song and dance. Your spirit will live on in the works of many. May eternal light shine upon you and may you rest in peace.

I am simply devastated that he has passed, but so blessed by his work, energy, inspiration and spirit. RIP Rex. Sorry we never got the chance to fulfill our plans.

I'm happy that the Gleaner saw it fit to honour this Caribbean giant. However I'm sorely disappointed that there are ONLY 2 videos of this Jamaican icon and Caribbean jewel! I hope more Jamaicans and Caribbean persons post videos of Prof.'s speeches and interviews for posterity.

a true cultural icon that will be greatly missed! He is among the greats of Jamaican intellectual, cultural and artistic masters.
