First I man must say greeting to all the people of the world, I man Burning Spear is so humble by this Grammy Nomination. It’s been a rough and tough years for I man, yet I know to accomplish what you want it take a very strong determination and hard work.
I man must first thank you the fans and all the honest people in the music industry that believe in I man Burning spear from 1969 until this time. I man way is long and the road is foggy foggy. I never gave up because I man know Jah is I man eyes sight. I man will never get swell headed or run away. I Burning Spear am here to stay. I am the people choice and I man always say no force is stronger than the people.
I man know I will not win the Grammy, but as an independent label that is artist own 100% I am truly humble and happy just to be nominated. This is an eye opener to all the artist out their that no matter what we all can stand on our own. And the music industry will recognize us for our hard work and determination. We have to practice how to stand on our own feet so we will be able to take care of things like health insurance and all our basic needs as we are getting older in time. None will be there to take care of us. People are there waiting just to take care of themselves, and there family. They don’t give a dam about us.
In this music business you have to be very careful I Winston Rodney Aka Burning Spear knows that I man paid my dues as a messenger of His Majesty. The time is right for I man to reap all what I sow musically after enduring so much lost is that a crime is questions I man ask? I man will fret not myself over evil doers for very soon they shall be cut off and whither away like grass, so Jah said. So yes we have to tell them Yes we must shout it out loud and clear tell them that I man is free again. It better to sell one record and be paid than to sell a thousand and never get paid. I man have travel up the musical rough road for many years to find my bread, and have no intention of going up that rough road again at 62 years old.
This old Rastaman will now take time for himself. I already pass through all the doors you can think of. Pretty soon I will give back the torch to the people, since they are the one that gave it to I man. I will give it back with respect and honor. So happy to be Jah messenger for the people of the world. My people I thank you for your years of support of Burning Spear. We have had some good time together in the venues, club and parks for years. I see you cry, I see you dance and I hear your screams of joy for I man music with a message. I am the Africa Postman that bring Jah telegram musical. So Jah say his work shall be done.
At this time in I man life I will take time to travel the world without doing a concert. Maui was the first of such trip next I look forward to going to Africa not working. And yes I travel with I man camera, this is so much fun for I man to document my adventures. And man they are many adventures. For I man right now is to avoid all unnecessary confusion. I will stay focus on the positive and out with the negative. Look all what was done to I man yet I survive. I never commit any crime. Again I say no force stronger than the music. I am the people choice.
What more can I say. Just that I man never sell out. Many respect to all the people of the world.
One Love
Keep the Spear Burning
Lets stand strong with grass root promotion
Come In Peace

This Experience
First I man would like to say greeting to all the people of the world.
As you all must know by now I man went to Jamaica to relax and to accept the honor of Order Of Distinction, From the start of this trip to Jamaica I know something was very different. What are the odds of I and Lee Scratch Perry been on the same flight sitting almost next to each other. Suddenly we were drawing the energy from each other especially Sonia she was sucking this experience up, not missing a beat. The flight became a pleasure even for the stewardess that was working the flight. There was bible reading and discussion with the stewardess and Mr. Perry. Jah have now sent a messenger on the flight to say his words that I and Sonia needed so much to hear. All the time the Creator send messenger to carry the message, we have no idea what package they will come in. some messenger come for a short time while others will stay around for a while.
I must send a big respect out to Devon Evans for all the work he put into encourage Jamaica government to finally recognize the Old Rastaman, Its not about the honor its about the love of I man country, I man have travel all over the world, and have received the keys to many country, so it was nice to be in Jamaica to received this honor. I man almost did not go to Jamaica to accept this honor. I felt my country was heading in the wrong direction, and had truly forgotten us the legend of the music. Well here it come again Jah had a plan for I man. Little did I know I would meet the First lady Prime Minister of Jamaica Lady Portia Simpson Miller it was I man who say we need a First lady down In Jamaica Now high and behold I am in the present of this strong, beautiful queen of Jamaica, She put her arms on I man and say Burning Spear I know how you feel they don’t know you and the hard work you put in for all these years. I watch as tears flow from her eyes as she continue to anointed I man with her present, this was the healing I and Sonia needed ,and this was what the trip to Jamaica was all about. Both I and Sonia got what we came for. The face of courage and strength and determination was right in front of us this Lady gave her all to Jamaica, and faces many challenges yet she survived. Lady Portia remains strong, proud, and determine all the way.
You cannot remain silent while people trample on your rights, for year reggae artist have been going through hell. None as any respect for us. Records label continue to collect our publishing, and royalty without paying us, even when agreements are up. Them when I man manufacture my own CDs and watch as this illegal Distribution label start to control all what mines. I decided I would no longer be silent’s. I was face with many threats of all what they will do to I and Sonia. I sit one Saturday morning as the owner of Mega Force call my home and had Sonia on the phone for almost 3 hours using racial intimation and all kinds of unnecessary confusion to avoid all her responsibility , declaring that we would never be paid, and she must destroy all the Cds that were in her and Sony/Red warehouse. The last email we received was to inform us that if we don’t stop posting what going on, we will be face with slanderous and libelous charges. I ask this question why is not this company is facing charges for fraud / destruction of property and for failure to pay for the sales of over 15,000 CDs between United States and Europe. Now who is more slanderous than the owner of that labels She when to the police station on a Sunday to file complaint on Sonia knowing all what she had done. She knew that base on what she had done, how many people could have had controls. The Fear was all hers. Yes Sonia lost her cool but any human been would. Like Sonia say anyone that know me know I am a shopper Alcoholic I like to wear fine clothes not prison stripes so all who and Missi was trying to put me in prison stripe sorry guys that not my style.
I man say Jah is doing this for a reason the action of this illegal label will destroy the entire record industry. And they will have none to blame but her. How could she think that she could have destroyed Burning Spear career, and when around showing off about it. Making comments like send them to me, I can handle them /they are nothing but some stupid Jamaicans. All I can say everyone in the record industry know the game your are playing, Why they too have play this game. They just never hear or taught someone would play it on someone that manufacture is own CDs. And to go to the police station to file complaint. To quote one man in the industry for over 25 years.” This is crazy what do she expect to gain from this” Well let her suit us I man is ready. I am sure she will have a lot to explain to the Judge... I just had to put this in there to show her we are not afraid of all of her intimation. And refuse to be silent. We have been through enough by her action to seen this through until the end legally. I think someone needs to tell her she is not an artist and you cannot take away people property and them black mail them or push there button... her action is a cowardly action that will no longer bring her sympathy from the few she was counting on. They are now moving fast to separate themselves from her. You try it and it doesn’t work. You need to know when to quit.
Thank you to all the keepers Of the Flame out there that provide us with much information and kind words. One of the keepers of the flames say she got tired of see reggae artist rip off by these so call record labels, they are nothing but pirates and with no moral . What they do is to spend the reggae artist money to operate their business. when I man Spear ask this person what was her name she say just call me Robin Hood I had to step in and help you out Burning Spear. I Spear say I am the people choice. And I Know you all will not let anything happen to the old Rastaman.
I man would say to all the people of the world don’t listen to what you read or hear about Jamaica this Island is wonderful and the best place you can go if you need to recharge your energy. The beaches are beautiful and the entire nature of the land of Jamaica is heaven. Just to feel the cool winds blow. Sitting outside under a coconut tree, and hearing the birds sings. The moon shines so bright. I man Creation Rebels now the old Rastaman is at home, Happy and free. Jamaica Land of My birth we love you. Happy Earth day to You Marlene.
One Love, Peace.

Legal Hustlers Riding On Reggae Band Wagon
Legal Hustler Riding On Reggae Band Wagon. All I can say who the cap fit will wear it. I will remove your response since you have no idea what you are saying. Yes I got rid of the rubbish that was never In I man life before. Yes I am happy to see them go. I don't know them and they don't know I man. I am glad I touch a nerve. It show that I stand strong and you are gone.
When I man write the song Legal Hustlers I never taught it would come to pass in I man life again. I have had so much time to think on this song, wow I thought to myself how powerful be the words that the Creator put in your mind so you can put into song. The message is truly in the music. Reggae music has attracted all kind of people just waiting to pose, and see how much they can get from reggae artist. We carry the label that we Jamaican musician cannot think for ourselves, and need other people to think for us. Only they and they alone know what best for us. So they want us to think stupid, yes that’s what they want us to do.
I Burning Spear say it is very good when a man can think for himself. They can’t catch I man they could have hook on them finger they caught catch me. Everyone that come in I man present with bad intention and think they could have hook me are all gone. I clean house of all those door peepers. Some when fighting while others when streaming. I man was ready to let the place be clean, and I mean the place of I man heart and soul. I feel so free again I can hear myself thinking again. All the clusters of rubbish are gone.
I have Jah feeling and I can feel the cool wind blowing from a distance taking away all the negative vibes they try to leave behind. Who are they I say they are they and them who Jah will raid for I and I yes with a cause.
Our Music so sweet, and tell the story of life. What a great summer I man had traveling with The Young Lions. I man journey to Santa Fe NM, I will say was more about healing than music. Jah wanted I man to be in Santa Fe, NM to feel the spirit of the Indians. On the festival site I cross my eyes over the mountain I could hear the distance drums beating in I man head. All the spirits of the brave warriors that fought so hard was protecting I man Burning Spear. Yes Burning Spear you must be brave and have no fear, we are here to guide you.
I know that this race is not for the swift but for the smart, I man know I am a winner. I bought home the Pony to take I man across to the holy man. I hang an Eagle as a symbol of freedom next to I man resting place. They want us to be ignorant and lack understanding so when they create problems they can blame it on us. Since no one take the time to listen to us we are always guilty. Even when you are a free man they still want to enslave you. They will do anything not to pay you money they owe you, and the system protects these legal Hustlers. None have the courage to ask the real question. I Burning Spear say it’s about time people In High Place speak up. Don’t protect or help someone to hurt another one. Knowing it’s not right. Remember that you cannot be wrong and get right. The price that the Creator will make you pay is great. All these so call record labels that do wrong will be gone soon. So music can be free and sweet to the world.
I have no where to go musically, Music is what I man is. Music will united the world. I man come in peace, war no good. No more unnecessary confusion... I man will not look back in this race. Equal justice stands for one and all. Hail to all the great warrior who fought so bravely. Thank you for the courage you all gave I man spiritually.
I man would rather be friends with the animal than be a target for Babylon.
One Love Peace.

Oh What A Happy Day
It took I man deep to write this journal. I have been over come by the blessing of the Jah, I did not know how to start. Words cannot explain, the picture say it all. I had many beautiful picture to choose from, this picture stuck a cord in I man heart. Deep down.
The week start off with I man returning into the studio with young drummer Howard Smith and Breezy. Here come Bootsy Collins and Bernie Worrell. Words cannot explain the great vibes these two brothers brought into the Magic shop Studio. We all made Magic in Magic shop Studio. Respect my brothers, I can still hear the Base of Bootsy in I man heart and the mellow sound of Bernie keyboard in I man head. I was ready for Kenya.
Fighting a little cold I did not care, I man just wanted to go home. I took a group of Young lions this time with I man. And we all became the Lions in Jah Kingdom.
Much love and respect to Bertus and Sakakasi Trust and Rudy and his beautiful wife for making I man vision come true. To all the staff of Windsor Hotel. We had two beautiful tours guide that gentle guide us through our journey around Kenya. Stay strong my daughters. The care and love that Sarakasi Trust and their staff put into making I man dream come true is simply amazing. To I man big brother that protect I man with his gentle ways, and kind heart, One Love.
I man wanted to be loved for who I am and I found that love among the people of Kenya. Being in Kenya was like I was home. I often ask myself where has the roots music gone and I now found the answer. It's on the soil of Africa. What our youths in Jamaica and America are running away from the young man and woman of Kenya are embracing. They walk for four hour just to behold the Africa teacher. These young Lion and Lioness are not afraid of the roots and culture. They know this way of I and I is the right way. By washing I man foot, and removing the shoe, and replace it with the slipper. I know I was home what an honor this was for I Burning Spear to chant with the Rastaman of Kenya. I wanted to sing all the songs I know my people wanted to hear. I never wanted to leave the stage, it was like one big family gathering. I was sad I could not keep playing until in the morning. The spirit of Jomo Kenyatta fills the stage.
I say to all the young people of Kenya: Humble your self my little one, humble yourself. Don’t sellout. Keep your roots and culture. I know at times the road is foggy, it's foggy for I man too. We are they that have to endure great tribulation upon great tribulation. Your cry is the African Teacher cry. They are happy to use us and then refuse us. They always say Trust me I can get the job done. Trust only Jah the Creator. He is the only one that can get the job done. And fulfill the desire of your young hearts as he has fulfill the desire of the Old Rastaman heart. Don’t let anyone use fear to control you. Believe in Yourself.
One Love Keep the Spear Burning until we meet again.
Peace.

My Roots I Will Never Forget
Rise up this morning to behold a bird making a nest on my door step. As I watch the bird go back and forth gathering the straw to make her nest to lay her egg it bring I man great joy to know that the bird choose I man house to make her nest. I man roots I will never want to forget. I will always remember the roads I travel doing the work of His Majesty.
The Creator have taken I man from the cellar of King Street to live on the beach of Garvey Lawn. He gave me music to travel the world and to spread his message. Sometime I ask His Majesty when I will be discharge from this duty. If I man question his wrong I ask His Majesty to forgive I man. From this work I have experience great joy and great pain. I know many of you have also experience the same thing I man have experience from your day to day life experiences.
I sometime have to ask why some people see reggae music as a means to hustle money. They don’t realize that reggae music is more that they think. And no matter what they do they cannot hurt reggae music. This music is the people music and carries no compromise. Are the legal hustler’s lives any better than I man life? Are they happy? I don’t think so.
Is Burning Spear happy? The answer is yes I man is very happy. I know at times I get upset about the way I am treated by the legal hustlers that are riding on my band wagon. But none the less I man is very happy. When you are a freeman you are a happy man. No record label or distribution label control I man destiny. I man destiny is controlled by His Majesty and this will remain so. So Jah said, and his work must be done.
Great respect must be given to all the People of the World that have support I man music for more than 35 years.
It give I man great pleasure to say I will finally be going to Kenya. To be on the soil of the Mother land is I man heart desire and I man comfort. I man vision finally come true. To hold my brother hand in hand and to hold my sister hand in hand. Burning Spear going home.
Benjamin I thank you for your kind words, I take your advice and will remain focus on the job I was put here for. And not to get drag down with evil ones. The big bully will tumble down. Burning Spear is here to stay. There is no question that Jah will not answer and no problem he will not solve. It might take time. Jah is slow but sure. I man put my trust in the Creator, not in man.
Awake people of the world Awake. Awake for the releasing of Burning Spear Experience May 6, 2007 Available in all independent stores. Coming straight from I man to you. Thanks to Think Indies. Support your independent stores. They are wonderful people behind these stores that love music. And understand the needs of artist.
Take me across to meet the holy man, and the holy man touch I man with his hand, and the spear appear in I man hand.
Keep the Spear Burning.
One Love Peace.

Fret Not Thyself Because of Evildoers Neither Be Thou Envious Against The Workers Of Iniquity
Fret not thyself because Of Evildoers. Neither be thou envious against the workers of Iniquity.
A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked. Yes my brethren and Sistren these word came to I man as I sit in meditation . There is no force stronger than the mine. Yes don’t kill the Lion don’t Kill Him it will drop tears from the eyes of the People Of The world if you should kill the Lion. The Lion is so humble ,and he love little Children. I am the Lion of the dessert . For forty days ,and Forty Nights I will pray until I man sweat turns into Blood, to call on the spirit of all of all the freedom fighters of the world to join force with I man to conquer good over evil.
I man will delight myself in the Jah and he shall give I the desires of I man heart to behold Lot wife turning into a pillar of Salt. I man know that it was Delilah that cut off the dreadlock of Samson to make him weak so Babylon could over come him. I man is very careful. The serpents of the earth are always crawling looking for easy prey.
They could have hooks on their fingers they cannot catch Burning Spear.
I have made the best choice I ever made that was to distribute my Music I man self. This has because some people great stress. They cannot accept the news. That I man don’t want them anywhere near my music. So they destroy over six thousand of I man CDs . When I man saw what they did I say yes His Majesty I made the right choice to get away from these people. They have no love for Music ,and for Burning Spear in their hearts. And the system protects them. If they had love for Music them they would never destroy any music wither it be Burning Spear music or not.
When Jah say move I know I have to move, and I know I had fine myself into a bad situation just to get the music into the record stores. So now I will just sell all Burning Spear CD On my labels myself.. No more of these companies will ever be allow touching another Burning Spear CDs. I will tell you of a man that love music he is a French man. Our deal was over ,and I gave him permission to destroy I man CDs ,and he refuse. He turns it all over to me without one mark. This man love music. Respect Bruno and Cyril.
When I man look at the CDs the first thing came to my mine it takes a very cold hearted person to do this. This have made me stronger instead of weaker If that person could have get me they would have done the same thing to I man. So they want to put I man in a escrow, Burning Spear cannot be put in escrow by the John Crow. I man would rather to be friends with the animal than to be a target for Babylon . With the whistle of the bird cry from I man lips I will speak to the dove of the earth, to fly ,and get the spirit of all the Lion, and Tiger of the Jah Kingdom to form a protect shield around I man ,and my family.
David did defeat Goliath with just one stone, so I man know I will defeat the wicked with my mine ,and taught. They are many ways to fight a battle. Some fight with Babylon system . I fight on a spiritual level. No power cannot defeat the spirit of so many brave soldiers. And you cannot call the police to arrest these fighters. They cannot arrest what they cannot see.
If Winnie Mandela did not fight ,and at time was arrested ,Nelson Mandela would not be a free man today. So when they threaten to put Sonia Rodney in jail to try, and silent’s her she was more that willing to go.
Greed cannot have no power over I man, Like my brother Bob say you think you are Living in Heaven, but your are only living in Hell. And Jah already place you in escrow, because you are only a John Crow. No power stronger than the power of a Freeman, And I man is a Freeman.

Come Let Us Say What We Have To Say
Come Let us Say What We Have To Say
Yes come let us do what we have to do. On this day let us all sing a little love song and celebrate life. Yes this day is I man earth day. Through this Experience I and I survive.
I man was told that there is no need for I to write a journal. These people have no idea how this journal came about, and how it heal I man spirit. This journal was born out of pain. I needed to release things that was happening to I man in this music business. So I just fine myself writing. Since I started writing this journal I start to feel better it made I man move on. No matter what challenges I face and yes they were many challenges.
I am leaving it to tell you about some of the challenges in I man documentary. I promise you that all with eyes will see, and all with ears will hear.
I man is at peace with myself and have no regrets looking back on I man journey, my way is long and the road is foggy foggy, but Jah his I man eyes sight. This is why I name I man new CD The Burning Spear Experience.
For I man Earth day I received a special gift from David, this was a copy of The Black Star Liner capital bond certificate. David show is love and respect for the old Rastaman, and how I conduct my business, by taking full control of I man destiny.
Yes I man will be moving ahead to control all the sales of I man records that I release on I man own label. I will no longer work with any distribution company. Any record stores that like to sell Burning Spear music must buy from I man.
I was told that no sale person from Best Buy/Borders and other retail record that sell records would buy from I man, I must go through a distributor. Because they say these companies don’t buy from indie labels. I need to go trough a distributor. So I man reply if this is I man record,and I paid to manufacture it, spend all the money on promotion ,and marketing, put in all the work, then why can't I sell it myself? Would this not be discrimination on the part of these retail stores? I will not compromise I man freedom anymore just to sell to Best buy and Borders or any retail store. They are no honest distribution company out there, and I have had it with these people. This is I man music so I can sell is myself. I am determine to protect I my legacy, and to open the doors for the future generation so they don’t have to go through the things we when through.
I am putting companies on notice that I intent to fight for my rights. I will no longer walk away when I man is right. You can’t kill us all. And I have all intention of reaping what I sow.
So I man is calling all I man fans to become I man sales person, to show them that we stand strong. Like I man say I have no intention of standing up for the wrong. Nether do I feel like I am left out of the music business. I will never sell out.
I man just journey to Jamaica to capture the true essence of I man documentary. Part of the true essence was to get together with the original back ground singers. It was a touching emotional experience for I man. We have not sung together in years. Yes they still remember Old Marcus Garvey. While traveling around I man parish with Lenny and Jeremy and Lisa and Devon and Mrs. Rodney we were able to discover a rain forest in St Ann’s it was magnificent with many exotic birds and flowers. We hike for one mile up to the river head. Where the water spring straight from the rock. I man would highly recommend this river to anyone. You can see for yourself by check there website. www.cranbrookff.com
Lets true black love arise and hatred scatters even melt before the fire like wax. So I man have to give thanks to Jah and for the love of I man fans that have kept I man through many nights into the next light. Yes we are going to shout it out. Yes we are going to tell them that Burning Spear stand strong for sixty two years.
Experience The Experience Of Burning Spear.

Distant drums are rolling calling all Burning Spear fans ,and friends to come rally around the old rastaman as he fight this new battle of young legal hustlers . This will be a fight with no compromise .Jah say the image of Winston Rodney aka Burning Spear will always live on. Jah will never give them the power to destroy I man. I refuse to let them take over I man head. Staying relax, and sweet to enjoy the victory of good over evil. I man rise up by the sea of Garvey lawn so I live to live, and to inherit the good which is to come. Some people think we are friend because they associated with you for a small amount of time. I am not your friend my money buy my equipment so go sue I man for harassment. I did the hard work of touring, and now you want to reap what you did not sow. in this business artist are always target for lawsuit from people that don’t want to work. And are looking a hand out.

The Wood Dry But It Still Heavy
Yes, People Of the world, I man say the wood is dry but it’s still heavy. I have had the best start of the New Years. For the first time, I was jamming at Culture Room on New Years Eve, I got to meet plenty of fans that made the long journey to Ft. Lauderdale. Then it was off to Jam Cruise. I would like to say respect to Mark Brown, Annabel, Judy, and also to Leda.
Jam Cruise was just what the old Rastaman needed to start 2007 on the right track. I met Mr. George Porter, and his lovely wife, and an energized group of young musicians. Umphreys McGee, they invite the Old Rastaman to jam with them. I tell you I had the best time yet Jamming with Umphreys McGee. I am still singing the song we made up on stage. Song name Jamming on Jam Cruise. I would recommend this cruise to anyone who wants to have fan on a cruise.
While on Jam Cruise I was able to do a lot of meditation, yes come people lets reason for a second about the things that take place with I and I.
The past few years were filled with unnecessary confusion. I have decided that I am not going to take any of this unnecessary confusion with I man into this year 2007.
Are you my friend, neighbor, or enemy? Since I don’t know which one you are, I will stop any association with anyone that I man spirit cannot trust. Whatever a man sow this is what he will reap. Jah a go raid them for all that they have done to I man and my family.
I will never give up the fight to stop illegal sales of I man records from two companies. And I and I alone are in charge of working on my documentary. This is I man story that will be told by I man. People have even threatened to take I man to court if I speak on my blog about what they are trying to do to I man. I man is entitled to my own opinion, and the law says so. Since I throw them in the sea on Jam Cruise, and they are not important, I refuse to give them an audience. I know that I man fans will be there for the old rastaman when the time is right. Slow and steady will win the race. Yes, this I man story.
With so much good people in this world I will not waste I man energy on the no good people. It was I man who say mistake carry no face. This race is not for the swift but for the smart. Tears of freedom drops from I man eyes everyday. To see where I am now and where I am coming from. Thank You People of the World. Yes, California tell I man that you are ready, I will be there in August. I man have always have a special love for California. I man is still jamming on Jam Cruise; one love people, keep the Spear Burning.
Peace.
