Notes

Burning Spear admitted a lack of knowledge about the Dead;

To be truthful I wasn't familiar with the Dead. When I sat down and really listened to the song, I started hearing all these words. Good words. Positive words. Clean words. Strong words. Words like: Rainbows! Burning! Prophet! Thunder! Voices! Paradise! Light! Fire! .... I came to understand that these guys are heavy.
