Here he has a long introduction about why he wrote this song. All the musicians who used heroin who died or otherwise damaged themselves.

Inflammable Material came out 44 years ago today. Still an epic album. And reggea songs played by punk bands still rule.

TW: drugs. Heroin. Cocaine.

My Goodness, @Soberbilly I am so very grateful you were saved from the clutches of heroin the one time and all the times afterwards. I see you content and happy, on a good cosmic, high ( as in elevated) plane of awareness and consciousness for yourself and others, something a drug(s) would never have given you and almost took away from you.

This song, wiki says was written from the beginning to be anti cocaine. In my dense mind I never knew that till today. It further says that Eric Clapton started putting the word “dirty” in when he sings it. He does in this fairly recent video, age 70, I believe.

Grammy winner, new category…

" Shervin Hajipour, 25, won in a new special merit category recognizing a song for social change for his hit [“Baraye.”]" …

…“The first lady of the United States, Jill Biden, introduced the award. “A song can unite, inspire and ultimately change the world,” she said. “Baraye,” she added, was “a powerful and poetic call for freedom and women’s rights” that continues to resonate across the world.”
