How I Wrote Elastic Man

Lee "Scratch" Perry

I was lucky to see him at a festival in 2019...was 83 and still bouncing along the stage with a great set. A true maverick. 🇯🇲 ❤️

Mad as a box of frogs and probably a miracle that he lived such long life.

That said a true genius who will be missed, not least by my son who considered his gig at the Waterfront his all time favourite.

Probably the last of the true musical sound artists, pioneering dubs, reverbs, remixes and the like, his legacy  is to be found in all genres of music in the past half century or more.

Its been a sad 6-12 months for the entertainment world, with the last of the male Hollywood stars of the Golden era passing away in 103 yr old Kirk Douglas and likewise for the female stars of that era in 104 yr old Olivia De Haviland.

Makes one realise how fast the 20th Century and its Movie and Musical greats has slipped by and  consigned itself to the history books. RIP Lee Perry.
