Description And I will advertise it
Legalize it, yeah, yeah
That's the best thing you can do,
Doctors smoke it,
Nurses smoke it,
Judges smoke it,
Even the lawyers too!

Peter Tosh met Bob Marley in Trenchtown, and became one of the three original Wailers. A strong-willed man, Tosh withdrew from the Wailers in 1974 after Chris Blackwell refused to issue his first solo album.

Peter Tosh was an extremely talented man, but, at the same time, he was very bitter. Arrogant, unreasonable, inflexible, he was in many ways almost the personification of Bob Marley's shadow. What bound them together more than anything was that they both naturally rebelled against the "shit-stem."

Chris Blackwell: "Peter was always difficult. I found Bunny easier than him, because Bunny was consistently "No." He didn't want to tour overseas, he didn't want to do this, do that, didn't want to have anything to do with Babylon. Peter was yes and then no, yes and then no. And that was more difficult. So really I hardly worked with Peter at all after Burnin'. But I did continue to work with Bunny."

Peter Tosh's life came to a tragic end in 1987 when he was gunned down during a robbery in his Kingston home by an old acquaintance.

Truly a legend...Tosh is one of my heroes...he worked with the Stones, Clapton, Marley, Marvin Gaye, and so many others. This is an awesome photo.

Nice drawing!
Your whole gallery is full of great drawings. Wonderful pencil work. You're very good at drawing not only the people, but to actually make them have some soul and personalities.

Amazing attention to detail, you make me so jealous of your talents. But instead of envy, I will just learn to appreciate your talent and admire it in awe.
