The Cover of The Rolling Stone

As one friend said:
'I'm sorry.  I think putting him on the cover of Rolling Stone is completely fucked.  Fuck you Wenner.'
While another told me:
'The arguments over this are monumental - and completely overblown imho. So he's not completely heinous as a terrorist should properly be. Is this "glamorizing? Is everyone so worried that sane people will chuck all common sense and become radicalized Muslims because a boy on the RS cover isn't gross? Apparently our sensibilities are that fine.'
Hmmm!

It has given me an earworm though

♪♫ Congo Natty ft YT & Nanci Correia - Jah Warriors

From his 1980s output with Double Trouble through to his genuinely essential work in the foundational days of jungle, the feller born Michael West has more than earned his place in the history books. As of this week, he's just made his Big Dada debut, dropping the Adrian Sherwood-produced Jungle Revolution LP. It's a boisterous set, stuffed with guest appearances and shot through with snatches of pirate radio chatter.

Memories (Glasgow 22/5/77)

♪♫ Ken Lazarus - Je t'aime


Lazarus began his career from the inception of ska in the early 60s. He performed lead vocals for Byron Lee And The Dragonaires, playing on tours of the West Indies and North America. In 1965, credited as performing with the Byron Lee Orchestra, he relished his first taste of international fame when ‘Funny’ was released through Island Records in the UK. He also performed as part of an idiosyncratic, neglected Jamaican rock band, Tomorrow’s Children. His sporadic output resulted in a few releases of note, although in 1971 he maintained a high profile with ‘Girl’ and the bewildering ‘Tomorrow’s Children’. Although Lazarus’ releases were erratic he worked in the studios as an arranger, producer and songwriter. In 1972, as a performer, he secured a one-single contract with a major label for the release of ‘Hail The Man’, but failed to satisfy the company’s expectations. By the 90s, having relocated to California, he joined Pluto and Ernie Smith on a small island tour. The jaunt was to promote his solo release, Reflections, which featured Lazarus’ unique renditions of reggae classics including the Maytals’ ‘Peeping Tom’, Ken Boothe’s ‘Freedom Street’ and Jimmy Cliff’s ‘Wonderful World, Beautiful People’.

Fuck YOU Anne Coulter!


Law and Justice and George Zimmerman

[...] What the verdict says, to the astonishment of tens of millions of us, is that you can go looking for trouble in Florida, with a gun and a great deal of racial bias, and you can find that trouble, and you can act upon that trouble in a way that leaves a young man dead, and none of it guarantees that you will be convicted of a crime.
