I met Lee Perry one day. He was playing in town that same night and he walked past the record shop where I worked, the afternoon before the show. We had a poster in the window for his gig and he stopped to look at it. Wasting no time I ran over to him and asked him for an autograph. I should've got the poster signed but wasn't thinking that quickly. Just amazed to see him in his all-black garb with mirrors and broken cds all over. I gave him a pen to sign his name and without a word he put it in his bag. Uh ok. Then he got a big marker pen out of his bag and wrote 'Enjoy Life - Lee Perry" in clear bold letters. I thanked him, called him a genius, and he walked off up the street. Pretty soon he walked back the other way, stopped in the shop doorway and gave me a big smile. What a guy. All this without a word too ha ha! He doesn't sign many autographs so I've heard. I was pleased to get this. I think he did it because we had his poster in the window. One good turn etc.......

Always had an affinity for The Upsetter. He's a personal hero.
Then I discovered that Lee Perry and I share the same birthday.
Not at all surprising.
