Tony Rebel (ID=6909) (Dec 20, 2001 7:24:42 PM)
I think it is the only way right now to show some of our people that the immorality that is taking place in unbearable. Maybe other ways have been tried and they failed.

why do u believe selassie is God when the bible says all eyes shall behold him in his coming and my eyes never behold him ?

Tony Rebel (ID=6909) (Dec 20, 2001 7:28:18 PM)
I did not say I believe anything. Because believe is a doubt. I prefer to know. And Haile Selassie is not God. He is Haille Selassie the first the power of the trinity and he is not Jesus

Q. (ID=6909) (Dec 20, 2001 7:29:20 PM)

Tony Rebel (ID=6909) (Dec 20, 2001 7:29:20 PM)
It would be nice. But if I take Rebel Salute to you then that would stop you from coming to have some of the wonderful hospitality from Jamaica. So we have to keep it here for a little while

how u mean selassie is not god are u a rastaman

Tony Rebel (ID=6909) (Dec 20, 2001 7:38:11 PM)
Before 1930 Ras ta Fari was the king of Ethopia and all his followers were called Rastafarians. Now he was crowned king of kings and lord of lords so his followers are Haille Selassians. God is a different thing. we dont want to mix God with Haille Selassie

For those who can't make it to Rebel Salute we will be streaming it live

Hello Tony I was first thank you for the instirational lyrics in your music there are very enriching to there soul. My question is what are the mucicians doing to help te Island of Jamaica. I need an example. Jha Guidance always zeen

Tony Rebel (ID=6909) (Dec 20, 2001 8:01:16 PM)
Tony Rebel is keeping a show Jan 12 and this will be the 9th one. It is like a spiritual renaissance we sell no alcohol, no meat, only vegetarian food and encourage healthy eating habits. The artistes cannot perform any profanity which I think is good for the soul and mind at the beginning of a year, And that is just one example

Q. (ID=6909) (Dec 20, 2001 8:01:34 PM)

I have many.

Q. (ID=6909) (Dec 20, 2001 8:03:49 PM)
Mr Rebel....It seems that Artists has a lot of influence on people and what they think, say and do these days.......do you believe that if the Artists in Jamaica as well as abroad come together and do a positive concert for the benefit of the country, the majority of the people who loves Jamaica and wants to see an end to the violence and corruption will band together and take back our beloved country Jamaica from the criminals that seems to terroize the Island.

Tony Rebel (ID=6909) (Dec 20, 2001 8:03:49 PM)
You can't put a bandaid on a hemorrhage. It is going to take a major surgery. So even if we keep a big concert when the harsh realities hit tomorrow it will return to the same
