Greetings,

In the latest issue of Perfect Sound Forever <http://www.furious.com/perfect/index0623.html>, you'll find (among other things):


THIRD WORLD
Reggae history/revolution connection, by Eric Doumerc
"Third World's "96° in the Shade," also known by its alternative title ("1865"), is one of the best-known reggae songs thanks to its catchy melody and its revolutionary message. The song was released in 1977 on the band's second album, also titled 96°
in the Shade, and has been part of the band's live repertoire for many years. "96° in the Shade" is a powerful evocation of a sad episode in Jamaican history, that is the repression by the colonial authority of a peasants' revolt in 1865 (the Morant Bay
Rebellion)."



We're always looking for good writers and/or ideas so let us know if you have anything to share.

See you online,
Jason
