Wow, what interesting information! =c) I've always liked this song and pretty much had what was going on right.

Nunaya, your description of the Rastas and their appearance not being acceptable in main stream society reminds me of what I have been told about American "hippies". A lot of people my age (30) think that in the 60's everyone thought hippies were out and about everywhere, and everyone loved them, but some people thought they were just lazy, dirty, weird, dreamers.
