My First Anthem

Here's Linton Kwesi Johnson singing Five Nights of Bleeding from the Dread Beat An' Blood album. I listened to this cassette tape so often in my early high school years that when the cellophane of the tape finally got eaten by the tape player and unravled into a glossy, useless pile, I nearly cried. For all my revolutionaries at heart out there, can I get a Madness!

Almost 10 years ago, I bought the album again on CD and I listened to it on my way to work this morning. It made feel better.
