I must have danced with reggae pops at more than A HUNDRED LA reggae shoes, dude was EVERYWHERE, dancing with EVERYONE, especially beautiful young women. Guy was as legendary in the reggae world as any of the reggae legends he saw on stage. We will miss you reggae pops

Yup, me and pops had "love" at all the same clubs and venues, maybe its why we always saw each other? I haven't paid for a reggae show in ten years, and their wrong, its not "eight years" pops has been a legend for at least 20 yo!

I love it! In all these years I never knew pops was into fucking basketball yo, that analysis is brilliant!! You can use it for other things, like playing the drums, cooking a steak, or fucking! We love you pops!!

➻ Pops is a land surveyor for Caltrans. He works from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m., leaving evenings open for going out, which he does four times a week.

I also never knew he went off to work so damned early, its why I had to start cutting back on shows..

That quote must be so fucking recent, pops was at every single LA area reggae show consistently across 2012. Last time I saw him was at the Santa Monica Pier in August 2013
Where is this from LAWeekly??
