Hi. I recently attended a lecture on homophobia in modern Jamaican
dancehall and Capleton (together with beenie man, and elephant somth)
was repetedly mentioned as singing clearly homophobic lyrics (Kill the
chi-ci man and so forth). The lecturer, activist David Thatchel, said
that this kind of music should be banned. I think that that is a kind of
censorship so I wasn't convinced. If anything Reggae right now reflects
the mood in Jamaican society... Although I've never been to Jamaica, so
I don't know really. Any thoughts?
Appart from that... I will be travelling to Las Vegas next week (don't
ask)... I don't suppose anyone here knows of anything remotely connected
to A-Jazz in Vegas?
