| Bob Marley and the Wailers – Crazy Baldheads Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
Captain Trips is talking out of his ass, and this is coming from a Jamaican. The government is not run by white people and most Jamaican citizens are not Rastafarians. Rastafarians are a minority discriminated against by a large portion of the Jamaican population. However, Bob, in referring to the baldheads here was expanding the plight of rastafarians to that of the majority of the population because in Jamaica "baldhead" and "babylon" is used to refer to the establishment as set up by colonial powers and as they have continued. The song is a post-colonial lament and call-to-arms that could be sung by any former colonial peoples exploited to create wealth for an upper-class that benefits from their hardwork then tries to teach them to hate themselves and adopt the attitudes and perspectives of the oppressive powers that be (Brainwash education). The first poster mostly got it. |
