    Interesting times I remember meeting Mr Marley at my father's house in the countryside as a kid. He was looking land to buy in the West around Negril area. He talked for hours with my father and mother I remember him like it was yesterday. A great Jamaican and a nice person.

    Thank you, Mr Jaffe. It is refreshing to hear an historically accurate history of the early days of Bob & The Wailers and Island records, and of Jamaica itself. You were there! I started seriously studying Jamaican history and culture and reggae music in 1973 after buying Catch A Fire and seeing Harder They Come. It changed my life. My sincere thanks to you for your contribution to the evolution and history of The Wailers music (and your wonderful harmonica on Rebel Music!)

    I had a golden opportunity to see Bob Marley perform Live at Apollo Theatre in Harlem when I was young. I so wish those were the times of selfies and social media. Never took a single photo. 🙃Anyway, also I hate, HATE that good people like Bob Marley who would make this world a much better place happen to die too soon while some scum of the earth who live to destroy it seem to live forever. It's so unfair. RIP Bob Marley. Rest in power, sir. ✊

    The interviewer asked too many uninformed naive questions. This would have been more effective if he had more knowledge about the subject matter. There is much more to Lee Jaffe than the fact that he lived with Bob Marley. He is an artist and historian.

    • @marcbeckman
      @marcbeckman  24 дня назад

      Yeah, it would have been interesting if Lee and I covered topics such as fascist governments, parallel art movements in Brazil and the US, Bob Marley's entry into the US market, opening for Bruce Springsteen at Max's Kansas City, the island of Jamaica, contract formation w/ I
      sand Records, the impact of Catch a Fire, returning to NYC and playing harmonica w/ Bob infront of thousands in Central Park, etc.

      In this episode of Some Future Day, master photographer Lee Jaffe shares insights from his new book ' Hit Me With Music: roots rock reggae,' and recounts his extraordinary artistic journey. Starting from his days as a double major in art and LSD at Penn State, to his transformative experiences in politically charged Brazil and culturally rich Jamaica, Lee opens up about his role in the legalization of cannabis and his interactions with influential artists like Hélio Oiticica.
      The episode explores his arrest and subsequent move to Jamaica, aligning with the Rasta culture during a tense political climate under Michael Manley. Lee delves into his close relationship with Bob Marley and the Wailers, detailing their struggles, triumphs, and the creation of iconic music like 'Catch a Fire.' Additionally, the narrative covers the early days of Island Records, Marley's impactful performances, and the cultural convergence with artists like Bruce Springsteen. Reflecting on the evolving landscape of art, the discussion extends to the influence of digital photography and AI, transforming artistic practices amid technological advancements. This episode provides an in-depth look at the intersection of art, politics, and music through the lens of Lee Jaffe's multifaceted career.
