Jimmy Cliff

THE REGGAE MASTER RETURNS.

BY ALAN LIGHT

BEFORE THERE WAS Bob Marley, there was Jimmy 10 Cliff. While Marley would eventually become reggae’s best-known ambassador— and the world’s best-loved musician—Cliff paved the way in the mid-’60s with a string of hits, including the album and fi lm The Harder They Come, and steadily churned them out well into the ’90s. Bob Dylan said that Cliff’s “Vietnam” was the best protest song he had ever heard, and artists from Bruce Springsteen to Cher to Willie Nelson recorded such Cliff compositions as “Many Rivers to Cross” and “Sittin’ in Limbo.” In March, Jimmy Cliff earned some overdue recognition when he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “Everything comes to fruition in its right time,” he says on the phone from Paris a few days before the ceremony. “I’ve done a body of work, and sometimes that gets noticed early, sometimes late, sometimes when you’re alive and sometimes after you’re gone.” Cliff is following this moment in the spotlight with the forthcoming Existence, his fi rst new album since 2004, and a series of concerts in the U.S. and Canada, including a stop at the Bonnaroo festival in June (see “Boom Town,” page 76). “I’m coming back to tour after fi ve years because I have something new I want to say,” he said. “Lots of people are hopeless and despondent, and I want to motivate, stimulate and encourage people in this age to appreciate their lives.”

A NON-SURGICAL TECHNIQUE TO FIGHT AGAINST ARTHRITIS AND SPORTS INJURIES

Located at 9573 Harding Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida, The Center For Regenerative Medicine includes a team of professionals that are dedicated to improve your quality of life, paving the way to enhance the science of non-surgical orthopedic medicine. World champions, sports legends, professional and amateur athletes, dancers, and people with just plain pain and arthritis go to The Center For Regenerative Medicine for non-surgical orthopedic care. Using the facility to improve their condition, thousands of successful cases have been treated over the past nine years.

The Knee Diaries: SJ is a 60-year-old male with bone on bone osteoarthritis of the left knee. An X-ray showed arthritis of the knee (X-ray on the left). Patient started receiving treatments at The Center For Regenerative Medicine. Today he is feeling better (X-ray on the right).

This is how it works: The physician introduces Cell Therapy into damaged, arthritic cells by means of a precise injection. This process is followed by infrared laser as well as several other modalities including Collateral Artery Flow Exercises (C.A.F.E.), in order to accelerate the process. Depending on tissue damage, severity of the condition and the size of the joint that needs to be injected, people usually need a series of 1 to 6 treatments to improve. There is usually no down time, and people can go back to their usual activities or work immediately. The treatments can help most musculoskeletal problems such as low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, tendinitis, sprain, strains, torn ligaments and cartilage damage.
