No Picture phoen Average	#1 by phoen bay at Aug 12, 2006 at 8:04 AM EST
	Im not jewish...im not even very religous... But this song kicks ass!!! Yeah, he alienates his potenial fans by dressing up and talking about jewish issues....but it's still good music

No Picture Nileppezdel Lead Player	#2 by Nileppezdel at Sep 15, 2006 at 10:05 AM EST
	i agree with U2rocks im not Jewish but a lot of my friends are and im glad someone had the courage to do something totally new and the video is awesome i like all the metaphors in the song "like a king without his crown"

No Picture Obtuse Professional	#3 by Obtuse at Dec 7, 2006 at 8:36 AM EST
	I heard this back in the summer, as it tis NOV now3, the live version (live at stubb's) is faster and better, but this guiy is REALY AMAZING. We have hisidic jews in Lakw Wood NJ and I know they are spred out.. Like orthadox Jew, but more religiously-involved... and well, different. Although I may not like thier heseedium ways, this guy could be the massiah they've been lookin fort ;) I play this next to 311, and Sublime...

No Picture Matt Lead Player	#4 by Matt Miller at Aug 24, 2007 at 4:36 AM EST
	Look folks, I'm about as Atheist as they come, and I love both this song and the albums it is on ("Live at Stubb's" and "Shake Off the Dust... Arise"). Whether or not you agree with his message, this is some damn good reggae with beautiful, eloquent lyrics. Who cares what the guy looks like; It's the music that's important, right?
