The truth is this— What Scratch was thinking was ABOVE what other people were thinking. What he had in mind was a shade outside what other people knew and even understood — it was outside of other people’s capacity to know. He was way, way ahead. He did something that looked so weird to those who didn’t understand, but that was just Scratch you know? People say Scratch is a mad man, but how could a madman make such music and create such art? — But Scratch is certainly kind of different! The man is a genius, like a kind of wizard. Lee Scratch Perry is a wizard!
