Great website(CIA vs Reggae).It hit the nail on the head as far as the cultural change after Bob and Peters deaths.Roots reggae almost disapeared in the eighties for that Dancehall crap.I don't know about Dr. Issels,but he sounds like a friggin' scary dude to me.He cut Bobs beautiful dreadlocks,the Bastard.I had a friend who went to Mexico back in the late seventies as a last resort for expierimental naturapathy therepy for his brain tumer.He was in his thirties.We buried him on his land.We later buried my x-wifes mother next to him.Well,my eyes are blurry.Too late to come up with a Marley songline.

Ow. I'm sorry to hear that Keith.
Regarding Dr. Issels and his treatment of the great Bob Marley, I know practically nothing about it except what I read on the websites I mentioned. And they may well be full of misinformation. I need to learn more on the subject. But if the details on those sites are true it's almost as though Marley was intentionally humiliated and tortured before his life was ended.
Well, enough for now. I'll stop before my eyes get blurry.
