The lead singer of the Reggae group Third World has died.
William Clarke aka Bunny Rugs was a much loved well respected singer with an amazing voice
Billboard News [click]
Third World are known for fusing Reggae with a host of other styles and genres of music
Third World were very quickly known by me as 'the International Band'
Mr Clarke once described the band’s identity..
“Strictly a reggae band, no. Definitely a reggae band, yes.”
I posted a few tracks from Third World a few months back, but in memory of Bunny, here's a reminder

* RULE 2: of 12
“Never go outside the expertise of your people.” It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. (Organizations under attack wonder why radicals don’t address the “real” issues. This is why. They avoid things with which they have no knowledge.)

Organic Intellectuals - Here Come the Kings
Antonio Gramsci on the
Organic Intellectual
Organic intellectual was a term first used by Italian philosopher Antonio Gramsci in his Prison Notebooks, written between 1929 and 1935. The organic intellectual is an individual who promotes the best interest of “the people,” a term usually designated for the lower classes, and does not perpetuate the hegemony of the dominating class.
Gramsci’s organic intellectual is one who minimizes speaking to the masses and engages him or herself “in practical life, as constructors, organizers, ‘permanent persuaders’ and not just a simple orators” (Crick 129). The organic intellectual becomes actively involved with the people and does not necessarily try to distinguish him or herself from the masses. Active participation trumps mere oration. Organic intellectuals are born in separate and distinct communities, and help to promote the best interest of their specific social groups (Crick 128). The main goal of the organic intellectual is to pierce the hegemony that benefits the dominant social group and holds down the masses.
