It's interesting that Bill will come on the air after a set and say, 'That's Bob Marley, or The Talking Heads, or Greatful Dead.' Who is he enlightening? Nearly everyone here is over 40. You'd think we'd know who the oldies are by now. No need to be a talking head, unless you play, um, something new.

Yes. I think Robert lifted the tune.  Should the Banana Splits sue? |

I know I'm supposed to bow to to the greatness that is Bob Marley... but it's just not my thing. I respect what he is to music, and reggae in particular, but I just can't listen.
Besides... this song makes me think of a comedy bit by comedian John Pinet (spelling??). It was of The Chipmunks doing their versions of popular songs. And, of course, this one was sung in the chipmunk voice... "He was a Buffalo Chipmuuuuunk...". That'd be fun to hear a full version of if it really existed.  |

No, it hasn't. But that's because it was perfect to begin with.

Not that's a bad song... but a bit too mainstream for my liking on this channel.

Hey Gang, if you ever get the chance to visit the city of Sierra Vista, Arizona, be sure and go to the Fort Huachuca Post Museum. Ft Huachuca is the Home of the Buffalo Soldier and there are great historical references there about their heroic service with the US Army. There is still a Buffalo Soldier memorial cavalry troop which does marches and reviews on ceremonial occasions.

Solid 3 for me, but I won't rate a song poorly just because I can't stand the genre. |

And apparently now it's been out for almost 3 years...?! |
