Musical Mentalist Lee 'Scratch' Perry is Dead

[Stuuuuuu]

I was going to see him on tour in November. Sad news.

He came out with some mad shit. I remember reading an interview he did with Q magazine back in the day and he said (might not be verbatim), "To share a toilet with my wife would be an abomination."

In my day job I’ve worked with Lee Perry.

Every bit the nutcase mad genius he came across as.

I expected him to live forever.

 

[Bigga]

I shouldn't be surprised but, wow! I didn't expect that!

RIP Mr Perry!

Love a bit of dub reggae. Add a punk legend and you’ve got the soundtrack for a day in the sunshine in the city.


Thank you for the music. RIP

You beat me to that tune Rick.
I’ll offer the forum Mr Perry’s vocal skills with a bit of Techno Dub Reggae with the Orb.
