Was Not Was: Bob Marley and the Wailers with "Johnny Was"
It's funny how some songs, even when they are almost 40 years old, still have relevance today. Johnny Was, by Bob Marley and the Wailers, is one of those songs. Sung from the perspective of a person comforting a woman in the street who has just seen her son shot down by a stray bullet, it seems to me like echoes of the past coming to shine a spotlight on our present. After the events of Ferguson and other places, including my home of Albuquerque, have highlighted the biased ways in which some areas are policed and how some law enforcement officials view certain minorities, it is almost as if Bob Marley and the Wailers were warning us not only about their present but our future. It's uncanny and eerie, and also sad that 40 years after this song was released, this song could still be relevant.
