Figure until we get a separate forum, we could just use this thread.
Anyone ever listen to Matisyahu? Kind of a reggae, grass roots, rap mix type stuff. Pretty decent if you like that stuff....just listened to <edited>*him the first time today.
Combining the sounds of Bob Marley and Shlomo Carlebach, yet remaining wholly original, Matisyahu's performance is an uplifting, powerful experience for all in his presence. His new album, Youth, is a compelling mix of ancient and modern sounds and ideas. The propulsive title track, with its rallying cry "youth is the engine of the world," draws upon Matisyahu's studies of Chabad Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneersohn – as well as his own tumultuous past. "When teenagers rebel, the reason is because there is something wrong. Not with them, but with the environment around them. That song is about making the transition from being an angry teenager, to actually becoming a grown man or a woman, changing yourself and the system around you."

He was just in Killington about 2-3 weeks ago.
Two sniffs, a snort, a fly, a turn and a grunt; and it was so simple like the jitterbug it plumb evaded me.

No joke. The guy has major chops.
I'm hip to him.. Really religious... Not down with weed snmoking...
He being into reggae isn't a strech for me... Rastafarians actually follow Kosher laws and are heavy into the Old Testiment stuff...
That being said... He's awesome...

Yeah, there's some real interesting parallels between Rastafarianism and Judaism. A lot of people believe that Ethiopia is the home of one of the lost Jewish tribes - Beta Israel. Haile Selassie actually fled to Jerusalem when the Italians invaded Ethiopia...

When the Ethiopian Princess Sheeba visited King Solomon in Isreal - He wanted to do her - she said NO!...
Solomon told her - OK - but if you take something of mine - i can take something of yours...
That night he caught her drinking water from his well.. And promptly had sex with her because she took his water...
She went back to Ethiopia and gave birth.. Haile Sellasie I is a direct descent of that child and thus Solomon...
