Johnson had his own brush with the police in 1972, when he was charged 'for having the audacity to inquire about the welfare of people who were being arrested. I saw three black youths being arreste
The 'Sus laws' were behind Johnson's poem about a youth in prison, Sonny's Lettah, and his Counterblast programme highlights landmarks in black British history of the past 30 years, such as the campaigns for George Lindo, framed for robbery in Bradford and later released with £25,000 compensation;
It doesn't strike me as incendiary or racist so not knowing his references, I think that the passion is what's important, even if it's completely misplaced. Anyone can listen to his rhymes and see their own struggles or doing what's right by guarding the good from the evil.

@kykdaar Given that LKJ released his first record in 78 I'd say that BM might have been smoking a bit too much at the time if he really did say that...
@kykdaar Not knocking LKJ, he great, but he's hardly the " father and inspiration for the whole Reggae movement". Reggae came out of Clement Dodd's Studio One in Kingston in the late 60's when LKJ was still a teenager. By the time LKJ's first album came out (Dread Beat an' Blood) reggae was already 10 years old and had been picked up in the 70's by many social groups including the rastas. And reggae is no more a 'movement' than jazz is a 'movement'. Just great jamaican music, nobody owns it.
A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand(SORRY BOUT SPAM THIS REALLY FREAKS ME)

The one man Bob Marley accredited as the father and inspiration for the whole Reggae movement was none other than Linton Kwesi Johnson.
