Lee Scratch Perry and Real Music

This video, http://youtube.com/watch?v=xe25AEniN9o, is of a Jamaican reggae producer named Lee "Scratch" Perry who is famous for the work he did with Bob Marley in the 1970's, and for his own solo recordings from the same era. This video is part of a BBC interview in which Perry expresses (sometimes rather incoherently) parts of his Rastafarian, Black Nationalist ideology. Throughout the interview Perry refers to the revolutionary power of reggae music and its potential to unite all Black people around the world. He also gives insight into his signature production style, emphasizing that he always begings producing a track by making sure the bass and drum parts form a cohesive rhythmic unit.
While the interview is tinged by the often nonsensical blatherings of the obviously crazy Perry, the interview really showcases a man whose music is more than just his profession or a means for 'getting rich.' Perry's dialogue throughout the video illustrates the aspirations he has for his own people and his music serves as the vehicle by which he will achieve it. All in all, this video provides a glimpse (uncommon today) of a musician who is completely spiritually involved in his music, and while Perry himself seems rather crazy, it is extremely refreshing to experience a type of music completely foriegn and eternally superior to today's Billboard Top 100: The music Perry plays is a means for transceding, not perpetuating, the problems of society.
