LKJ Is Hot! Hot! Hot!
Tuesday at 2:00 p.m. EST, Gopher gets a call ...
By the way ... who is that man who reads poetry to reggae
...
I guess that could be LKJ ... where did you hear it?
On public radio ...
What time ...
Oh about 10:OO a.m.
What was the name of the program ...
Uh? I dunno ...
sigh ... [Loud gnashing of Gopher teeth. Gopher illegaly
accesses the web from the slave pits .. WABE ... NPR ...
ah ... morning edition ... Johnson .. Yes!]
Morning Edition 15/12/1998
NPR's Elizabeth Blair reports on Linton Kwesi Johnson,the
premier dub poet who does NOT want to be associated with
RAP. However, he is billed as the grandfather of RAP.
LKJ's poetry documents the black immigrant experience in
BritLand. Some credit him for being the first poet to
declaim his socially conscious verse to a reggae beat.
LKJ's album, the island anthology
"Independant Intavenshan" is available in the
US. His new album "More Time" is NOT
available through the internet at: lister

LKJ Performs in Bedford on 10/24/98
Message to:
Linton Kwesi Johnson After listening to your reading
tonight in Bedford we were mezmerised. We have grown
up listening to your music and we were sorry that you
had to rush off afterwards to catch a train (we would
have given you a lift) we would have liked to have
had a jaw afterwards.
Thanks for a entertaining and thought provoking
evening.
Regards
Sarah, Annamia & Nicholson

Rushing off is typical of LKJ. Ask
Pier. (:-D

Tirzah and I am trying to get hold of thefollowing
books:

I live in Cape Town South Africa and I need to find

They are listed at Amazon.com. However,
the first has to be special ordered and the second is no
