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.

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.
One Love
Keep The Spear Burning.
