Hey Hey Hey fans, friends and family. My Roots I will never forget, I man always remember the road I travel.
As you know music is what I have so music is what I man give. Over these past weeks I have travel many road from North to South and from East to West and across the ocean.
People of the World I would like to thank you for your warm embrace. Many wonderful experience sharing the music with you.
On stage I felt free and loved by all of you. It was nice to hear you sing Walk with me.
I man way is long and the road is foggy, foggy. Jah is I man eyes sight, He have lead I man to a few special place.
Place like New Mexico. It was a long time coming I thank all of you In New Mexico for your support. It was a great experience in North and South Carolina.
Seeing young and old fans rocking to the music and the sounds of Burning Spear. I man was shock by the response I received in New Orleans.
The House Of Blues was rocking with a high energy.
I must mention how I was touch by the words of this fan in Santa Fe. She told me how sick she was and how listening to I man music help to heal her faster than any Doctor could.
We had a wonderful time running in New Hampshire, seeing the great mountains. Even though everyone one was in pain for days.
Big up to the fans of Dallas. The promoter was so worried because he had only sold 200 tickets in advance. Big surprise to him when so many fans walk up at the door.
The night of the show he made his goal and was asking if we were coming back around again. Houston festival was the second time for me, the lawn was filled with a rainbow color of people. What a beautiful sight to behold. I met 3 young Jamaica fans who waited for me, they wanted to let I man know that I have young fans in Jamaica. Yes, my Island please don't sell out.
I cannot forget Austin. Austin have been my musical home for years. The place may be small but the vibes was irie. So many place to mention I man just would like to say special thank to all promoters and fans for supporting the music of Burning Spear.
Over the sea and across the Ocean I man go there a ready. To all the fans of Europe the African Postman deliver the musical telegram.
Telegram say Come Now People Lets Try Again. As far as the eyes can see I saw the people from La Reunion. Over the hills and across the valley I travel the roads of La Reunion.
The airport was filled with many greeting fan who bring I man their love. They were very happy to see the Old Rastaman.
Yes we will be 700 strong in a Garvey lawn where no Door Peeper can enter. On August 12, 2006 Only the strong will enter this a holy lawn where we will stand 700 strong.
The lawn will be rocking, the Spear will be Burning. All who have eye will see 700 strong, they will see and hear Our Music. Fans get your copy of Our Music so we all can sing Walk together and O' Rastaman too.
I want to hear you shout it out loud and clear.
One Love
Peace.

Words Come To Pass
First I would like to say Big Up to Dahved Levy and the staff of WBLS, and yes to all the fans from New York to North Carolina. I man never know you all could sing so much.
I must admit I man is having a great time with everyone. Thanks for your warm embrace.
I man must answer this person. If Den took the time to do is research he would see the 700 Strong concert is a benefit concert for the St Ann's Bay Infirmary . No Door Peep shall not enter.
Burning Spear isn't making any money from this. I man don't hustle money. Yes I will inform people to buy my CD. If an author write a book he wants everyone to read it, and if they need to read it they must purchase it. I man is an independent label, a Free Rastaman in the music business.
I man don't need to hire you as my PR to save face since there is no face to be save. And by your comment it is plain to see you are fill with anger against I man. I am not politician and resent you taking my words out of context to fit your needs. Many are call, few are chosen. Throw Down Your Arms and Come.
I am my own PR. That why I sell myself. I don't need anyone to sell me. I hope Den buy is ticket for 700 Strong and a copy of Our Music. Yes, we cannot refuse it.
Burning Spear words come to pass.
We now have a first lady down in Jamaica. I man don't know where the lyric come from. It just come to I man in I man rest. Just like I man say on Our Music CD, we need a leader that can lead the people. Nanny was a leader. Nanny was the first female warrior. All these woman I am about to mention are from the same line as Nanny.
Nanny was the first female Warrior, then Winnie Mandela/Portia Simpson. And I cannot forget Mrs. Rodney. These female warriors are willing to fight and die for what they believe in. Even though they have great physical beauty they never use that as a way to get ahead. The blood of Nanny run through these women warrior vein. They never give up no matter how hot the battle become. These women know no surrender or retreat. They have determination. Jah send them. I hope the people of Jamaica will rally around their new leader.
I man always say the message is in the music, that why I cannot refuse it. Music should tell a story. For this reason I refuse to change I man identity. I man might not be on MTV or BET or late night television because I am not a passing fad. Here today, gone tomorrow. Burning Spear don't fit in their world. They cannot understand my lyric, because I man lyric comes from the creator to bring all the People Of The World together. I am the Lion in Jah Kingdom, I am a Free Rastaman surrounded by a rainbow of people from all over the world. Grass root people.
Each night I take the stage I can feel the energy coming form the audience. A letter I received from this fan touch I man soul. I will share bit of it with you.
I am walking with nature like I have never walk with nature before...
I am loving this life and all the gift it bestows like never before. I am humble, I am alive, my fire burns bright... I thank you Burning Spear.
This is the reason why I do music. Thank you my friend. Also to the young man at Irving Plaza that was giving me his hat. I hope to see him at 700 strong, and yes bring the hat.
I man way is long, and the road might be foggy at time. I know Jah will be I man eye sight. Yes the African Postman will always bring Jah telegram. The telegram say lets keep-on moving and sing the song together. Lets rally round the Red, Gold and Green. Jah bless those and them who are always there for Burning Spear.
One Love, Peace, Keep the Spear Burning.
