Burning Spear will be at Tony Rebel salute on January 14, 2006. It will be a true honor for I man to perform at Rebel Salute this year. Rebel has proven himself to be a brethren that stands up for the right, and believe in self reliance. I-man will join as one with Tony Rebel and make a donation to St Ann's Bay Infirmary.
First I would like to say thank you Erik for your poem. Big up to Dennis and the Rasputin staff, and all the fans of Berkeley for making Our Music Their Music. It was good to be there upfront and personal with all of you.
The crime you want to charge I-man for it's not possible, and I am not guilty. I was only doing the work of His Majesty, following in the foot step of all the great freedom fighters of the world. Marcus Garvey is an African Jamaican who has been accused many times wrongfully, and so am I. Yes my neighbor and friends and enemy, you need to set the record clean.
I didn't make no move to hurt anyone. If you say I do, where is your evidence? The first Bagg-a-wire was Jamaica version. Second Bagg-a-wire American version. Yes they sell I-man and betray I for less than a pound of rice.
The modern day Bagg-a-wire thought they found the genie in the jar, only when they open the jar only smoke came out. Look for I-man in the water, look for I-man in the wind, because I refuse to live my life in fear or doubt about the work I was given to do. Our Music I can not refuse it. His Majesty set the standard for I-man to follow. How sweet and wonderful it is to serve the creator by singing Our Music.
Everytime I play my congos I am sending a message striaght to the Heart of my friends, neighbors or enemies. I can feel the cry of the world. These are the timea I ask His Majesty to forgive I-man for making any wrong turn since mistake carry no face. I Spear have shed many tears while making this album. Out of my tears came words from my heart to touch all the people of the world souls. Let's all get on board the Burning Spear Starliner of Music. Let's make a circle and sing Our Music.
Fans, get your copy of Our Music because I would like to hear all the people of the word sing it next time we meet. All who have ears will hear, and all with eyes will see. Burning Spear will never lose it. Together I and I rainbow of fans will show the world that we can look far over. Because in a time like now it's not about who feels it knows it. What about the man who never felt it but knows it?
Music alone shall live.
People of the word I love you and I thank you for all your support of all the CDs on the Burning Spear label. We can become 8,000,000 strong.
Lets show the world that Roots music coming from an artists own label can sell. Introduce a friend to the music of Burning Spear this holiday.
Keep the Spear Burning
Peace...

Creation Rebel, Old Rastaman
First I man would like to say Bonjour to the people of Paris. Thank you so much for your warm welcome. To all radio DJ and writer of France, respect for making Our Music Everyone music. To Cyril and Nocturne staff, plenty respect for helping to spread the message of Burning Spear over Europe.
I man will now speak about reggae dark secret.
Plenty of us reggae artist couldn't read or write. We only have the talent to do this work. Yes I say it a work appointed to I from His Majesty. That is why, like an old warrior, a soldier, Old Rastaman I had to ask when will I be discharge from this duty? If I man is wrong I ask for forgiveness. Just like in the days of old when His Majesty and His disciples travel the earth preaching I and I travel the earth preaching. The mountains now become venue and the hills are now parks and outdoor festival.
Our Music they think I and I lose it. So many artist today are afraid to sing certain lyric because it's not what society say is marketable to young people. They want us to leave it up to them. When we leave it up to them we will no longer able to perform for all the people of the world and more of our young people will pay the price.
We can show the world that we can live together. Reggae music is about a message of love and togetherness. Do you enjoy terrorizing your brother and sister? If more and more of us become chain together with music that teaches, the world would be a better place, free from mental bondage.
Time for us to become self reliant brethen and sistren. People of the World don't ask for that loan. Because while they are sleeping you will be working to pay back that loan.
Harry you are not sellin yet they are profiting from Harry. Just take a look around you will see so many album they have on the market for I man. The question I ask is where are the royalty payments? Yes this is the sound of all these singers, singing all of these songs. Yet not benefiting from these songs due to all these musical slave traders that sell but keep everything for them self.
They say Burning Spear will be finish and his music will never sell without record companies. I man say come now people lets try again. Let's never stop trying, because Music alone shall live.
Brethen and sistren, people of the world has I man get ready to hang up my mike and give up touring. I will be letting you know everything about I Man musical career for all these 35 years. All about the Creation Rebel that now become the Old Rastaman.
I will take you on a journey about Our Music. Each and every track. And yes I have a track that I will release soon on my website only.
If you know that man you shouldn't hurt that man you should love that man. Thank you people of the world your love have fix I man right up.
Yes walk, walk do your country walk to the record store, and make Our Music everyone Music.
Spear.

My Duty
Greetings People,
Thank you for buying my new CD Our Music.
Burning Spear say sometimes as an artist it is good if you can share some things with the people especially the fans so they can get some understanding about the things you been through coming up in the business. I man been in this business since 1969 and I man did have to deal with various booking agent, record company and promoters and it was in the 90's when I man start earn something from what I been doing since 1969. I man rise up with my self confidence and my capabilities and I man just keep on moving forward for I man is moving in the right direction and the people knows that.
Sometimes I ask His Majesty when am I going to be discharged from this duty? Maybe I was wrong to ask His Majesty such question. I see myself as Mr. Music, JAH Music, Our Music, World Music, the Peoples Music. What so ever JAH has given to I man, I man earn it the hardest way.
So Keep the Spear Burning
One Love
Peace
Burning Spear
