Is this the same Haile Selassie who drove around Addis Ababa in a Rolls
Royce throwing out breadcrumbs to the masses?
The same Haile Selassie who was unceremoniously deposed by his own people
after a half-century reign that left Ethiopia empoverished, this despite his
own palatial lifestyle?
Other than the fact that some great musicians worshipped the myth of Ras
Tafari, (yet Marcus Garvey himself scoffed at the notion of Selassie as an
object of worship), what does the complex issues surrounding the UN,
Zionism, or the declarations of the despotic Haile Selassie have to do with
acid jazz? Aren't there other forums more appropriate for the expression of
these kinds of sentiments?
Can't we have a politics free zone?
