    "comment": "For Rafael! This album turns 30 today\n\nThe song is a tribute to Roots reggae, a subgenre of reggae music known for political radicalism. Specifically, the band is acknowledging that \"the roots, the reggae on my stereo\" to which the band listened during their teenage years influenced their later work. The title lyric and the line \"you know I'm a radical,\" refer to the Jimmy Cliff song \"Roots Radical,\" which features the chorus, \"I'm a radical, I'm a roots radical.\"\n\nOne of the repeated verses references Desmond Dekker, one of the most successful roots musicians. The song also draws inspiration from Bunny Wailer's \"Roots, Radics, Rockers and Reggae\" and Stiff Little Fingers version of that song, \"Roots, Radicals, Rockers and Reggae.\" The lines \"All the punk rockers/And the moonstompers\" references the Symarip track Skinhead Moonstomp, and alludes obliquely to the band's extensive skinhead fanbase. Another line from \"Roots Radicals\" provided the name for Give 'Em the Boot, a series of Hellcat Records compilations albums. https://bit.ly/2PS83SZ",
