Yes I! Thank God! You just saved me from listening to Christian music. Nothing wrong there. But I prefer Chrisikonopoulos music. And Black Uhuru to boot! Bobby Calzone's entry into Rastafarianism back in 82 with TearitUp live. Christ is the man. I mean Chris is the man. Hey, all three!!!

Hey Bobby, glad we're off to a good start. I was going to do an all gospel show but I'll save that for the months ahead.

Hi Jas. Yes, it's one of my fave WAR songs, among many. Enjoy the full LP version, way longer than the 7"edit.
