Jimmy Cliff’s death reminds me sharply of the utter centrality of public libraries to my mind and heart: I definitely checked out The Harder They Come soundtrack from my suburban NJ library when I was still in high school because I had read about it somewhere. And off I went from there!
Oh no, Jimmy Cliff crossed the final river, comforting myself with this epic live version.

A full-page ad placed by the Japan “Peace for Vietnam!” Committee (aka ベ平連) in the NYT in November 1965.
When the Asahi's New York correspondent showed the ad to a reporter colleague, he reportedly responded, “It's a Pearl Harbor on the New York Times!”
