"Rastalubab" - Oxymoron?
Melody Maker: The true story of a White Plains boy who found both God and reggae.
(via 770EasternParkway.com)
"There are actually a number of similarities between Rastafarianism and the Lubavitch, including strict adherence to the Old Testament, dietary laws that shun pork and shellfish, a proscription that women keep their head covered, and a fervent Messianic belief—for the Rastas in Haile Selassie, who claimed to be a direct descendant of King David; for some Lubavitch, in Menachem Schneerson. One Rasta sect considers itself the Lost Tribe of Israel, and another early Rasta proselytizer wrote that 'A Rastafarian is a Jew by nature, being a righteous one of principles, dignity and love for God.'"
