Okay In Spots
You do get some decent background here on Perry's roots, particularly in the film's first part. But the makers don't manage to put the music's history into realistic perspective. The narration (and much of Scratch's talking himself) would lead you to believe that he created reggae and dub, which is hardly the case. Nor did Bob Marley owe him his career. I would like to know more about why he thinks The Congos are the worst of all devils ... I would like to know more about his breakdown in the late 70's (to include burning down his studio) rather than just accepting that he had to get rid of bad spirits. I do get a partial answer here on some of that though, because there's some old footage and some newer footage here of Perry that demonstrates what I realized already ... he's pretty far gone towards nuts.
