Yes the Red Dread! The downdest MOVE white boy since Donald Glassey and Stephen Grossi. Dubside got on the all caps train way before all those 90's college posers, ha! But seriously, he had to have met Vincent. And I think his cognitive dissonance was very strong- whatever criminal or abusive stuff he may have seen at Osage or elsewhere, he believed the group couldn't do any wrong. If I had to guess, nowadays he wants nothing to do it, and certainly isn't trying to speak up. Chicken shit.

I friggin' love that video, it's so bad it's good. Legit rockers reggae backing track drops in at the end, but you still have to listen to his guitar pedal wankery all over the top. And I'm sure other members were jealous that he had the longest locs! Anyway, I just checked my 25 YEARS ON THE MOVE green zine, and don't see any author attribution, but surely he wrote that one too?

The revolution will not be televised, it will be doing a double-dutch Swedish meatball roll in Peter Gordon's handmade kayak πŸ‘ŠπŸΌ C'mon Dubside man up and speak truth to power. There are real victims your bullshit washed up "revolutionary" group has hurt. John Gilbride murdered by MOVE. And you're just gonna hope we all forget?

Also, not everyone closely involved with or β€œin MOVE, met Vincent/JA so very possible that Dubside never did because he was just on the perimeter during those days.

True, and all this is conjecture, but I have a feeling he got white privilege. Plus he's a trust fund kid and I bet they sniffed that a mile away. Finally, this dude's been simping for MOVE for ages- I think he met The Coordinator and was starstruck for the four decades.

Dubside did not get credit in either 20 Years or 25 Years. He finally requested and got credit when he did 50 Years with Mike.
