Just remember this, son. The higher up the ladder you get, the brighter your ass shines–Ernest Tubb

「息子、よく覚えとけ。あの梯子を上がれば上がる程、小僧の尻はピカピカに光るからな。」(注釈:本当の仙人は、偉くなればなるほど王冠ができるのだが、凡人だとたとえ社会的地位が高くなっても、その王冠は頭ではなくてケツのほうにできてしまう、という、キリスト教的比喩)

Ernest Tubb

Reggae

In Jamaica they were getting two radio stations from the US that could reach that far with a very clear signal. One was out of Nashville, which played country music, obviously. And the other one was from New Orleans. And when I came back to Jamaica at the end of 1972, I realized that what they(d been doing was listening to these two stations and stacking them together. Listen to “Send Me the Pillow That You Dream On,” the reggae version that came out then by the Bleechers. The rhythm section is New Orleans, the voice and song are Nashville. You had basically the rockabilly, the black and the white stuck together in an amazing fashion. It was the same mixture of white and black that brought you rock and roll.
