Bono gives some of the best speeches at this Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Terrible quality but more importantly a fantastic video. "You could ROB a bank, you couldn't run it!!" So funny, and true XD

people would not know reggae or bob marley if it wasnt for LEE PERRY

@Billbaez4 I agree the world wouldn't know about Bob Marley if it wasn't of Chris Blackwell. The thing is: what he produced with Bob was not real reggae. It's reggae for the "70's glam scene", a sound that influenced even today's dance hall and reggaeton club scenes at some point. Listen to Bob Marley and The Wailers between 1969-71, you'll feel a big difference of perspective that Blackwell missed in his production. I admit both are reggae, but you have to pay attention on pre-Wailers stuff.

Yes I.

[Billbaez4]

why would you people watch this just to talk shit. without this guy the world wouldnt know about bob. he needed a man like this to open up the whole worlds ears

[alejandrosoul]

Mr. whitehell, you know what you are, you know where you belong.

What a travesty. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame should be incinerated. A Hall of Fame is very un-rock-n-roll. Honoring a corporate opportunist douche like Chris Blackwell is your evidence. And fuck Bono!

Lee Scratch Perry: saw Chris Blackwell in Nassau, Bahamas

Drinking the blood from a fowl in a rum glass.

Chris Blackwell is a vampire

Sucking the blood of the sufferer

He killed Bob Marley and take away his royalty.

He killed Bob Marley and penalize the Wailers

Bono knows he's great with words. however, as aware as he might be of that fact, he pays tribute to those he loves like no other. it always strikes me that this is a guy who has done more work to help people and the causes that benefit them, yet he only really gets flak for it. he knows he's not Jesus Christ and doesn't want that job anyway. after all, look what they did to him. he cares though, which is terribly unhip. anyone who knocks him has to ask why they feel the need to do so.
