They Say it is a Capital Offense

I was on Wikipedia, researching a post about my new favorite television show, when I found this:

"I want to say 'I shot the police' but the government would have made a fuss so I said 'I shot the sheriff' instead... but it's the same idea: justice." --Bob Marley

I find this incredibly interesting. I have always thought of this as an essentially nonsensical feel-good cover by Eric Clapton. To find out that it is really not all that different in intention from Ice-T's Cop Killer is a real change in perspective.

Meanwhile, my new favorite television show is Ice-T's Rap School, in which our hero has six weeks to turn eight kids from an elite NYC prep school into a rap group. Seriously, Leprechaun in the Hood had a more believable premise.
