The way I see it: Lee "Scratch" Perry

Published 03 January 2008

Lee Perry is a legendary reggae musician and producer of artists including Bob Marley. He plays at the Jazz Cafe, London NW1, from 11-13 January.

He tackled our questions in his inimitable style . . .
1 Does art make a difference?
2 Should politics and art mix?
3 Is your work for the many or for the few?
4 If you were world leader, what would be your first law?
5 Who would be your top advisers?
6 What, if anything, would you censor?
7 If you had to banish one public figure, who would it be?
8 What are the rules that you live by?
9 Do you love your country?
10 Are we all doomed?
