My reggae-legend namesake Ernie Smith just died. He was 80. This hit me surprisingly hard—I’ve been competing with this man’s search results my whole life. Seriously though, he’s an icon. You should check out his music.

Let me share some of his songs. This is one of his best-known songs, “Duppy Gun Man.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot4NruI-VrA
