What's the difference between Rastafarian "Zion" and Jewish "Zion?"
And yeah, I know... "it's the weed, man." And that crazy dub riddim. Or, from the other angle, "it's the Manischewitz, bubby." And that wild-eyed Klezmer music.

But are they talkin' 'bout the same Zion?

:shrug:

2. It's a gorgeous national park
but I don't think that's where Selassie sits, or the place in the middle east with all the fighting and such. :shrug:

Truth be told, the Jews at least could've picked a nicer neighborhood for their Zion. I dunno about the Rastafari.
