in jamaica we get nicknames that were bon, we didn't, we got a nickname when we were born. some a fight, a give me that nickname from the get go. yeah, yeah. i could just see the time difference the 4 years i thought of bowie probably loved is old. mad at a v, a day to the even now i finally know the truth. thank you. clear that up for music . now listen, obviously your music speaks for itself over the years. what has i, i know, your family man, i assume that brought iran to wanting to write some children's book. tell me about the when you decide to start do it and, and then tell me about little john crow yet when we started doing children book when the 1st tamela children album, which was like what, 9 years ago called family time. and we took some of the songs from, from, from the alga and put them into books. i know people will see him, you know, my, find them people with kids at the time. we love the album kind of love the books

too. and so that is all i started turning songs into book and we've done that a couple times. but this story little john crow is our original story. there's no sun fight, which is a story that i wrote with my wife hotel out of my imagination. and out of the experience have grown a grown up our own vultures in jamaica, turkey, villages. you know what i remember being off. i remember being around a quarter mile out. often a girl was standing on the most beautiful beach i'd ever been in my life. the water was lapping up again. you could go out really far and it was still shallow. warm. the beach was so white, i've everything this about as good as i've ever felt my life. and i wonder in jamaica, most of been a groovy place for a kid to grow up. right. wow, yeah, i'm on. so groovy, so movable. i mean, it's not what it be, she's and just like the environment at a time. there was so much happening, so much creativity, so much revolutionary thought. and i grew up our own this i'll at,

at the music coming up on like just like minds or not to see him time been around at a child. and in jamaica, you know, going to the countryside and had been the fisherman bringing the boards when he go fishing is i love, it was a lovely, lovely experience for me and it does me it. it is still so much a part of who i am. those experiences, you know, that the rhythms there were definitely different than anywhere i had ever been. man, i'd go swimming than i'd go to the cock, stand, get myself a nice lunch. then i sit there and listen to some music in late afternoon. read. take a nap, get up, have a great high dinner. i was super, super grade, but i do remember once i had a cab drivers, a, you'll love this. i'm coming in from kingston. and i, i remember the cab driver went past the same lime green house 3 times i, louis, i knew he was running me or i was like in new york. and i just remember saying very, i've. 2 never seen that color green before just me. you've gone for. 2 a man looks

over. sure. yes, no problem with even what i was getting taken for a ride. he was easy about it. right? or i did, you know, even you got him know, you know, who is dealing with at that time when you know, i, you and you, we are going jamaica is kind of like, we got to say muscle wasn't being going, you know, a clock and read it well, i would say almost said brother, i would have went past the lime green house twice. i know this is royce williams. megan, but the 3rd time i'm starting to feel disappears. now my, it was the 1st, let's go back to the writing career. was the 1st one you wrote a my dog wrote me, i assume that was what was that your childhood hound? my dad is my own that i just, we got him last year right before to decline 1000 thing. um. so i grew up with dads, but since i moved to eli with my wife, well, for kids living at home with us,

they've always wanted a dog. and so like 10 years, 10 years, oppression will finally given last year. and in the quarantine out, know we had a puppy and it was on when experience i got new is having like a baby you know, having another baby in the house. so yeah, but there his name is romeo and we did. we had a album last year con more fun time, which is a follow up to the previous one and put a song about a dog on the album. and we made a book with that one. and that's for younger kids. little john cruise is a little bit older kids, my dog romeo, it's for like, you know, babies are that well for 2 year or 2, you know? yeah, get romeo spayed or neutered man, because eventually the female dogs, we screaming. wherefore, art thou romeo? next thing you know, you'll be, i next thing you know you, you have a whole crew for the next time. it being family. you know,

with tell me about moving the ela listed. i have things i love about ally, but certainly a different vibe in jamaica. i guess a lot of it has to be career maybe want your kids are, i don't quite know, but i'd visit may, how you i hope you're getting back to jamaica lot because it's such, it's own its own environment. you must miss it when you're in l. i right, yeah, mm hm. it's the vibe. i jamica of course. yeah. but it was a woman that brought me to any, you know, it does the story, the thought l okay. yeah. it was a beautiful woman and i'm stuck here now. okay, go, you started a brother, i'm so when i read a very touching thing about your father, it at the end and i'm trying to think say geez, 12 years old. what a time to lose for any child the loser findable when did he 1st introduce you? to music or did you just watch him and kids watch their dad and thing i want to do

that tell me about when you 1st got the bug. so my earliest memory of being exposed to music by my father in my mother was a musician to so you know, music was ali is our own singing. i'm going to church or whatever, but i does the my earliest memory i. carmen will go into the studio like him, taken me to us today to talk to a producer. i remember the student. oh, i fantastic it was in the room. i remember that, that vivid in my, in my mind on those 1st experiences, then when i wasn't, when i was all i know we used to sit in, we just you, he used to love having us around me. i'm a young man, my young about a steven. so we would like that my, my, my mother would be worried how we would be with him and his friends, and it would be kind of crazy. what music sitting in under her. so sitting in studio, you know, him writing songs, all that stuff, you know that we can, i got exposed to and the thing i think i take from it is that he was ever

a hard worker. he was a very committed to his craft, you know, mess and so like that. so i am, no, i like i learned that we like you gotta commit to your crappy guy, committee, a t r. what you're doing, you know, that's the only way you're going to be get good at it. you have to keep committing to it after i 1st started writing songs that as i, you know, after, after my father possibly actually like 13, a year after. so i kind of started seeing the arrow to guitar and didn't stand put some words together and in a feel like i started searching for like mine, started opening up a started to search for religion and ideas and philosophies and inspired my thought . and i started to write a more song based upon that. and then, you know, i just get inspired now or that's how it works right now. just kind of, i'm inspired to write all this and i think many children and i've seen you use the word in the interviews i read with you. i learned from their parents by osmosis, but definitely he was such an evocative, groovy, cat. i mean, i'm just

a fan obviously i but from a far i used to always look at him and wow, what a groovy cat, man. what a nice approach to life. what a sweet sol. so for you to be sitting at the knee of that, that it must have been washed like a beautiful wave. no, seriously, cause i resent that 4 leg so many pictures of me and him together in different situations. and i, i mean, i don't remember to ford has been taken says like why was sitting there with him in the middle of that hour? i was there. a mom is like right by him sitting down doing something there. so yeah, yeah, i think that is the way that is where he wanted it to be commer on and pick up what i can pick up. you know? yeah, that was your return address back then ziki right off my old man's knee. you were sitting right there, sac. yeah. the love sucking up the knowledge. and it was funny for a kid to realize that their dads such a, well, i guess that's what, why parents and kids love each other. they keep them in a gravitational field. it's traditional cause you know,

the whole world law pop marley and it must been nice to see my dad not always really, but he's good dad and he loves me that. that's a, it's a beautiful mix man. yes, no, no you. i mean, he was a good father, he was a discipline father. do i mean on manners and respect and all that stuff? i am a wine said disability money, e gimme a couple beds and about that. but i was all right. you know, a good, good, good, good. i love to play. you love to play around. he loves to play around. yeah. beautiful. we're talking to ziggy marley. and he is now writing children's books. first one, as he said, little more for juvenile, but he, maybe he's learning the craft at that point too. it's about his dog romeo, my dog, romeo. and the 2nd one we're opening up. it's like the goose bumps books is moving up for a little young adult literature. something little john cro maybe not young adopt but a little older than juveniles. and it's a new book, a little john crow that is now available where you purchase your books when it come

back, little on talk to think about his mood, his music career. i also want to pick his brain a little bit brushed to foreign faith, which i'm fascinated by. and a we will talk to ziggy marley right after this. and dennis miller floss, one ah, i was diagnosed with cancer in 2009 when the doctors told me the cancer was incurable. i knew i had to make a change. so i decided to travel to one of the most toxic places in america, florida. one of florida is the biggest industries and best kept secrets is phosphate in the biggest layer. it is $85000000000.00 industry. is mosaic janai. there are reports of millions of gallons of contaminated water now flowing into the

florida aqua may pro there's a chronic i don't want to hear that word polish, but that's what it is. in 2013 my, all our family dog. my brother was 21 years old, myself and my father. we're all a 100. wow. yeah. hold on a good player. right? yeah, yeah. maybe they'll actually, we're that our help is more important than with

divers financials. a guy. i don't fight a i guy. i'm a teacher's that's not an i'm of the friday. at the last time i buy it from a teacher, so i watch kaiser employ. hey folks, welcome back to dennis miller plus one. we're talking to the esteemed author. children's books, ziggy marley, new book, little john crow, that's now available where you purchase your books. and so yeah, i wanted to pick your brain for a 2nd about the rastafarian faith because i'm sort of fascinated by it in that they chose such a good man. but indeed a man haile, selassie to be that he is the. is he not the you

explain to me how to put it is what is it? christians of jesus christ that jesus christ of the man who walk on the earth, right? he was crucified. all right, so is there the connection with his last the and solomon true to the jewish culture, he's a descendant of solomon. so it's a who are prophecy. it is so it's biblical, it's, it's connected to the bible. it's connected to jesus. it's all connected on. so during the time of the, the realization of this, this person, especially from a jamaica perspective memo, we just coming out of slavery. we just got independence. but still we were under british rule. and we were still, we still, there was that there was a consciousness going on about like turning against the colonial mind saying turn against the colonial lessons. christianity was one of those lessons. and there was

always the idea of, you know, the god being a white guy in the thinking of that 10 was like, more revolutionary like we, i mean the, we've been to, some of that we have to believe in this, why a guy has gotten up and so they started, people started looking for their own idea of what god is and their own identity to their own identity and reference in biblical passages. there was a passage about the king of kings, the laws of those who this man was crowned eyes and saw you was in that connection as phone the identity of a spiritual being in this mine. yes. as people cite in christ, our people seat in somebody has the site in this month and that that is the origin of it. right? but my live, my life as, as using that as my foundation is not, is not confined to any sort of, ah, idea of what,

whatever, when it institutionalize, it's not an institution. it's a, it's a, it's a mindset that is free. i'm free to evolve is not, not really in a book that it has to be this. we are that we are one we, we are, we are designed to evolve our consciousness. and so for me as an individual, i speak for myself. i don't speak for every roster far i ever want to be sure in that i speak as an individual with individual consciousness that evolves on its own . and so that is my foundation, but i'm not limited to that in the way. am i not or other, right, you know, i'm, you know, i always find just such a joyous man. and yet i, as i said earlier, i alluded to the fact that i, i can't imagine a harder time for a young boy to loses. beloved father, what do you feel your father at the end? did he encourage you to go lead a joyous and fruitful life that he, i, it's such a like a set of hard seen for a young kid, but you seem so i imagine you live

a joyous life to serve his memory in some way here. what is who we are? we are dennis. and then the last time i saw my father was in the hospital in miami couple years before he passed away. i'm so she was in like an intensive care place . so i was like kind of chance a peep through the window, you know, it's a door and i'm like looking up like this. and he goes like this. he's on his bed and he goes like this because men so come in and him calmer right beside him and him kind of whisper in saying like him, say young bob, i have a song for you. and he said these words to me said on your way up, take me up on your way down, don't let me down. and so that was the last thing he said to me last time i saw him and some in, you know, we are, we are, we are part of one. and we like, you know, i feel like i'm a part of him. he's applied to me and we help each other. oh, you know it, we're here. i have him, he has me. and i said we're a part of one,

especially in the consciousness in, in that might, in the mindset. especially the or, you know, yeah, that's the good thing about cosmic consciousness. i think he is very welcoming in a way there's work. there's room for all. there's like a big welcoming room with your children. now. do you refer to any of them as young bob? that's such a sweet name for it. i hope you pass that off. that's such a beautiful. if i was a kid, i would big that name young it. tell me about more family time. the children's album, what? like i said, i can see that the family is all to you after the music and i assume i don't know the kids must love it. that there's a children's album. yeah. my, i'm love it man. i mean did. so the album we did album last year, right? they everything up last year like the current in us jasmine, a lot of to come right. so we're all home. i mean our own them. it's hard to find

stuff to do. we're always active. i've been trying to find fun stuff to do and music apart today and then they were in the studio with me and we just had a blast making that record. and i had a lot of good guess artists who are called up on it. been up a shirt cru, alanis morissette, angelica job busta rhymes tama of a bunch of people and your friends like we are. it's funny, like last year was the most ever reached out to 2 people, you know, like during the car and to, you know, you know, noise, man, you know, we don't things on there that there, that in the next ripple man, it's so weird to me that what you can reach out to each other due to the dictates of the world at any given moment. everybody gets for everybody starts to reach an odd boy, the unintended consequences of human life is unbelievable. to me is 8 . let me ask you real quick because i'm, i'm down in l. i to doing an interview. we're in separate parts today,

but i got to know before i get, i want to talk about urge, but i, i do have to know where do i get? good, jamaica, los angeles brother. where's it and where can i find a food from one spot named juices. joseph. vertical juicy. don't use it. no. what? washington, what is called juicy. that's what you get all of our. yeah, and i use it. i get, i usually get my ra produced to that, like jimmy comes on stuff, so i can't cook so my to them on their food and they have like the wrong stuff too . i love that i love the fact that you look out for everybody in your look at out for others with the unlimited resources giving enlightenment. i love the i love the urge and explain the foundation to the people and what you're doing up there. so the phone is just like when i the tour is like where is like when,

when i think it is sole in most of the shoes, would take like a dollar from each ticket and put it in that foundation. so much was would a chart to work what a charity itself is focused on children? um we have, we have been education. we have other charities. we, john, without a charities, we have a charity or in any call hula, which does after school program for kids. we work with them on so we really just transfer and give kids who don't have the opportunity for a good education or even good dental care or whatever they may need to be helpful in, in, in that part of their life. so it's, it's broad, but it's focused on children. i and that's a call you just, you know, i, when i sometimes look at people who are a great artist, i often think boy, they get to be a great artist. and then they have the even amplified gift of being able to help people who follow them and don't have as good a deal in life. it really,

it really is the great side. hi. so being famous and been talented isn't that you can. 3 you can pay it forward. other people it's quite yeah. it definitely there those. yeah. i couldn't do that. i asked that's just, that's what we are a little we are. we have to get out and torn to share what he got planned for 20, let's say 2022. this one's almost unbelievably these years click by like that. what are you shooting for in 2020, to say, where are you going to go? i'm here to know to the still getting women to are coming up in june for the summer with another artist. i think we're, we into know, instead what he's a, he's a big artist. we're going to do some together. and then i'd be heading to europe. i do some show celebry to my father to where do i actually sent from his shoes. of someone to shoes are a boat, my father and in other shows or does a rip my regular shoes. what size venue is he looking for like theatres and stuff like that? is that what you yeah, we do. yeah,
