I heard "God bless America" at the end of the song. The same America which robbed you and stole you to the merchant ships, minutes after it took you from the bottomless pit?
im fan enough (else than Mr. Jean) to understand, that Bob never would want his work to be performed in an usa flag, because usa was, is and will be in future the leading power in what he called Babylon System. Wyclef Jean did this apparently (in this way) to promote himself, i dont blame him cuz he coverd a Marley song i blame him cuz he misused it as a symbol FOR babylon system.
Hey, folks. This is a Bob Marley song written about social struggle and justice in the West Indies--slavery, colonialism, etc. It was not written about American culture.
wyclef preformed this song wearing the american flag.
the song is supposed to be against propoganda and the freeing of minds and he preforms this in an american flag and says god bles america at the end of the song?
what you are forgetting is that he did this song for the 9/11 concerts. In case any of you have forgotten what took place on 9/11/2001, dial 411, as for 212 area code, and ask to speak to a firehouse. Ask whoever picks up about that date and you'll hopefully get it.
right...so why put god bless america at the end of this song? im sure he played other songs, but putting that at the end of this song kind of undoes what the song was saying.
like if ziggy sang "dragonfly" and then added some lyrics about promoting hummers at the end.
im not unpatriotic, but i dont believe that saying "god bless america" does anything to help the country.
@kathymarinwohlfeld some of us believe in the true American spirit of equality, justice & freedom. Babylon corrupt this truth just as they got Bob from physical plane. But Bob's music gwaan forevah. Many called but few chosen.
@lor108avi the land did not do any thing to any body its the people that run it and by wearing the flag it was direct message to the people that needed to get it.
@lor108avi the American flag is the ultimate sign of standing up for freedom and equality for all. America gave the world democracy. While not perfect America allowed the world to think differently.
@yanz1979 too bad it's got reverse pentagrams all over it,hey im as patriotic as the next guy but I think something is not right when corrupt cretins are allowed to walk around freely while their sin is protected by the law. Fuck The Government, Fuck The Founding Fathers, Fuck The New World Order. George Washignton and George W. Bush are Related, Oh and Barack Obama is Bush's 16th Cousin on his mothers side, look it up. Land of the free? no. I think not.
by him singing this song he is paying respect to bob marley, so everyone needs to calm down... and the beauty of this song is that it unites everyone.
yo everyone here is getting pissed at his cover, i dont understand why. A Japanese person could cover it and it wouldnt change the fact that its a cover so simply what im trying to say is, it sounds good and thats all there is to it and shut the fuck up..wow
it was just a fucking stupid idea from wyclef jean to perform this -song of freedom- when wearing an usa flag. did he sang this song now again wearing an iraqi flag? i mean for the 10000 iraqi soldiers and uncountable civilians that has been killed. Or at least again for the 4500 deas us-civilians (cuz soldiers are civlians too before and after their army time), which are more than 9/11 caused? I think he did not. Fuck your tribute Mr. Jean.

Marley went to Zimbabwe to do a concert for the people there and for his own values.Not for Money.Not for getting taped on as many cameras as possible.Not to show his own greatness by doing what 400 mio. americans ecaxtly wanted to see at this time.Thats not just a difference, but an exactly contrary.
I'm wonderin why so many of these responses are negative. He fuckin rocked this song... and actually sang it much stronger than most live recordings of Bob himself. Like we all do, Wyclef loves Bob and is just paying respect in an awesome way.
why did it go all patriot in the end? it's a song about slavery then i he goes on to "bless" the biggest slave owning country in recent history and call it the land of the brave, good song otherwise
