Remembering "The Bush Doctor".
Murdered 25 Years Ago tomorrow September 11, 1987.
Peter Tosh October 19, 1944 - September 11, 1987 was a fierce progressive activist. Being a Rasta Man Peter followed very strict religious beliefs. While on tour he traveled with a cook in his employ to make Ital food for him. His concerts were in part religious ceremony praising his god Jah. Here is an interesting description of him from an online Tosh Bio.
Peter Tosh saw himself as a revolutionary, and was vehement in his efforts to tear down "Babylon." He coined his own words for many of the things which he hated, including "politricks" for politics, "s**tstem" for system, and "Crime Ministers" for Prime Ministers. It was this attitude that earned him the nickname "Steppin' Razor."Also he often used the word "Liar" for Lawyer.
