Throughout the week.of the 4/20.celebration Richard Branson frolicked along with his lifelong good friend Chris Blackwell. Of the time.spent, Richard Branson posted a brand new photograph.with him and Chris Blackwell in Jamaica with the caption:
“A day properly spent: reminiscing with Chris Blackwell in Jamaica. Chris was the person who introduced us Bob Marley and Cat Stevens by his fantastic label, Island Information. Again within the day, Virgin Information spent a few years competing for bands with Island Information – throughout the daytime! Within the evenings, we might put our aggressive gloves away, have a drink collectively, and stay pals. Life is simply too quick to fall out with individuals.”
