"You were a Mbaquanga singer. Then you decided to be a Reggae singer. Why do you like Reggae so much?"
"I like Reggae No.1 because of Peter Tosh. I liked everything that Peter Tosh did, really. He is the one person that got me into liking Reggae, because of his message in the music."
Listen to Lucky Dube! (160 K)

" 'If you live in a glass house don't throw stones, if you can't take blows, don't throw blows...', I mean, that was a good message for me, because I mean, that's maybe how I live my life and that's how I lived my life even in the past!"
Listen to Lucky Dube! (170 K)

"The general message whatever Tosh was singing about at that time was a good message for me except the ganja, pot. That's where we don't agree, because he smoked ganja and I don't smoke ganja. No. But his music really, I liked his music. He's the one that got me into Reggae."
Listen to Lucky Dube! (220 K)

"You don't smoke ganja. What do you think about drugs?"
"Well, I don't do drugs and I don't do windows!"
"...'Up with hope down with..."
(laughing and continuing)"...down with dope!'* That's good!"
