And if sun comes / How shall we greet him?

What happened to hundreds of people who drowned off the coast of Greece?

75 years of Windrushers, a "bittersweet" anniversary at best.

There are days, weeks, months that require reggae. The days, weeks, months when you know you are living through history. When whatever you're doing or not doing is what you would have been doing, or not doing.

It is not, I don't think, that when music hits you feel no pain. It is that it makes pain bearable.

And if sun comes
How shall we greet him?
Shall we not dread him,
Shall we not fear him
After so lengthy a
Session with shade?
