It's the thirtieth anniversary of "The Harder They Come." I haven't seen the movie in years, but the CD is never far from my rotation. Today NPR will run a feature, including video/audio clips and links to related material. One thing about the Web is that it's doing away w/ some of the great mysteries of life, including what's going on in Reggae lyrics. You can get words to the soundtrack itself or dig deeper at this great site explaining biblical references in Reggae. "Rivers of Babylon" is taken verbatim from a couple of psalms explained here.
