Peter Tosh - Speech At The One Love Peace Concert 1978

Peter Tosh says some important things that needed to be said (and still needs to be said)! This great speech nearly cost him his life later at the police station.

"At the One Love Peace Concert in April 1978 Peter
stood up on stage and lit up a spliff much to the annoyance of the Jamaican
Heads of State. He proceeded to verbally bash everyone in power in Jamaica
asking why marijuana was not legal. It was real fire and brimstone. This
remarkable recording was made available to the word last year thanks to JAD
records.....He also suffered the consequences for his attack
on Manley and Seaga at the Peace Concert by being brutalised by Police, he
was whipped for over 30 minutes by several Police officers armed with batons,
they broke his arm and fractured his skull."

I LOVE PETER !!!! this speech is just amazing

[Hellserch]

This speech has become even more important. Peter Tosh was a brave revolutionary and although what he demands here hasn't occurred, it is burning symbol of what can be done in the future. When I was a child, growing up in East London in the 1970's, this man gave me a tremendous sense of confidence and I will always be grateful to him.
