according to the state media of the Marxist Derg Government of Ethiopia, Emperor Haile Selassie I died in captivity, having been locked up for the previous eleven months since being deposed from the throne.

Rastafarians, of course, believe that he was the living God Incarnate, and as such cannot die.

Here are Two Rasta Man (the name used for the track by Roman and Tinga Stewart), recorded for Tommy Cowan's Talent Corporation, giving the faithful their opinion of the recent news from Ethiopia

and was found thanks to a post on the blog of the (temporarily absent due to house and job move) Almax. You can google away to your heart's content for full details of the said barking nutter misguided political figure (Rockwell, not Almax); a few snippets will suffice.

He was of course a raging racist and anti-Semite, who was utterly convinced that he would be swept to power in the 1972 Presidential election, after the economic collapse that he knew was going to happen in 1969, which was to be followed by a civil war, fought on racial lines. He was not elected because -

1. The economy unaccountably failed to collapse as ordered
2. Even if it had collapsed, the vast majority of people in a democracy do not decide to resolve their economic woes by engaging in the mass slaughter of fellow citizens based only on skin hue
3. He was by this point dead, having been murdered in some internecine Nazi feud on 25th August 1967

In addition, as was established by Alex Haley's famous "Playboy" interview in 1966, he was of course vigorously opposed to homosexuality, as can be seen by the fact that he ran an all-male organisation, the membership of whom was overwhelmingly single or divorced, and seldom ventured into public view unless accompanied by a number of muscular young blond men dressed in uniform. That's certainly cleared that up.

This record was released on the Hatenanny label, and was available only on mail order, as the Jews who run the music industry were too busy brainwashing the white kids by playing them degenerate negro records, which the kids, unaccoutably, failed to recognise were pertformed by their racial inferiors, and bought in their droves.

Instead, they should of course have listened to those members of the Master Race who performed "Ship those Niggers Back". To Rockwell, whose family moved voluntarily to the USA in the early 20th century, there was no difficulty in "returning" hundreds of thousands of people whose ancestors had been abducted ten generations previously to countries with which they had no connection; indeed, he seemed totally unaware of the fact that "Africa" was not just a big continent, but contained numerous self-governing states with their own laws.

The music? Well, I think you'll agree that Duke Ellington, Curtis Mayfield, Miles Davis and Ray Charles never performed anything that was the EQUAL of this.

(I managed to listen for about 80 seconds)

Sadly, the most depressing thing of all is that the comments on this YouTube clip do not regard this as an embarrassing museum piece from a distant racist era we have long since outgrown - instead it opens the door into a disturbing world of White Supremacism.
