Oh Carolina

"I tell him play "Oh Carolina" and don't stop
playing it. When he put it on and that drum
pu-do-do-dum went up in the air for the
first time ever irt was the sound of Rasta
searching for some kind of identity...
Of course the radio wouldn't play it, because
society was so terrible against Rastas. First they
said they couldn't play it because they didn't
think it was a record, because it wasn't
constructed the way American music was
constructed."
