Redemption Song Chapter 6: "Who Feels it...Knows it"

Both the Grateful Dead and Reggae have evolved from music into movements, communities centered around Love, Respect, Unity, and Awareness. Perhaps the most overlooked connection boils down to one Word "Rebellion," The Grateful Dead and Reggae were both born out of separate counter cultures embroiled in the same universal struggle, the fight against the status quo, against injustice and intolerance. In this episode "Who Feels it...Knows it," Henry K experiences the fight first hand and learns, what so many of his friends and colleagues have endured in the music business.
