Clapton is a guitar player; not a political theorist or historian you buffoon. He simply liked the song and decided to cover it. Marley was great, nobody is arguing that. It is a song, and Clapton is not a British colonialist attempting to decontruct or alter the political significance of the organic artform.
Besides, by covering the song, Clapton helped bring Marley and his music to a larger audience.

He expresses anger,sadness,and human right on guitar.
Listen his solo, and feel.

Ross is wrong. This is a great cover. Clapton's skills are flawless and he is still one of the best guitarists. Listen to the solo. This is the s&%#!
