Two days ago, I had the honor of seeing the amazing Lee 'Scratch' Perry in Berlin. The man is 72 years old and still going strong.
He spoke in magical rhymes on a number of subjects, including Jesus, sex and vegetarianism:I love Berlin! If you don't believe me, ask Merlin. If you don't believe him, ask Whirlwind.
No more meat I eat! Take it to the supermarket and park it.
I am the Internet and the Winternet.
When the show was over, I found myself bathed in a sea of satisfaction, regretting only that it might be long before I could hear any of Mr. Perry's morsels of wisdom again. Fortunately, I soon discovered an entire website full of Perryisms.
Lee, bless you.
