    Jimmy Cliff is playing at the Hard Rock Pool on Thursday

    Jimmy Cliff is a true reggae legend. He starred in the movie The Harder They Come in 1972 and did most of the soundtrack. It was the first time that most Americans had heard any Jamaican music.

    Let me know if you're going and I'll buy you a beer.

    The entire movie of The Harder They Come is on YouTube. It's a great story about the many types of exploitation. Since it was the first movie produced in Jamaica, even the bad guys are black.

    Spoiler alert


    The last ten minutes of the film consist of Jimmy swimming towards a speeding ship owned by Barry which would take him to safety.

    Being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame was probably a bigger deal.

    Sorry to be rough on you barry. It is sad to see great people have to prostitute themselves. Jimmy Cliff will never get the nice retirement he deserves instead of having to suck up to vegas pool trash.

    Most performers have egos that don't allow them to retire. Not saying this is the case with Jimmy Cliff but maybe he'll take the adulation of any crowd that he can get.
