PRESENTED FOR YOUR CULTURAL BROADENING . . . A MIXTURE OF JAMAICAN TOURIST BOARD / HOMOPHOBIC YOUTH FOO' - *click here* - & TROPIC PARADISE type video



THIS RHYTHMIC JAMROCK SOULFUL RHYTHMIC RIP-OFF OF THE U.S. SUPER GROUP THE STAPLE SINGERS' CHOON "I'LL TAKE YOU THERE", SEEMS LIKE THE TYPICAL PALM TREES, BIG-BOOB GAL and GOOD LOOKIN', LONG-WALKIN' GUY MIXED WITH A VERY PRO Come Visit Jamaica CHAMBER OF COMMERCE-Financed VIDEO until YOU GET TO WHERE THE LEAD SINGER - HEFLA NYAH - STARTS SINGING ABOUT. . .
"(You)
no bother come a-yard actin' fruity . . . (because WE) tolerate 'nuff things but that no suit we.
HEFLA NYAH also tells us,
"we no like informer so we rebuke (refute?) thee".
I IMAGINE YOU SHOULDN'T CALL THE COPS in JAMAICA IF NYAH and his POSSE IS AROUND AFTER YA GET YOUR WALLET STOLEN
and I'M TALKING TO THOSE EUROPEANS and NORTH AMERICANS WHO ARE HOMOSEXUAL.

THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS WE HERE AT WAGRadio ARE ALWAYS ON THE LOOK-OUT TO EXPOSE . . .
THAT SEEMINGLY WONDERFULLY HAPPY and JOYOUSLY LIFE-AFFIRMING JAMAICAN or CARIBBEAN PIECE OF MUSIC THAT SUDDENLY DRIFTS INTO HOMOPHOBIA.

BECAUSE WE SPEAK NORTH AMERICAN ENGLISH
and HAVE ONLY A SLIGHTLY PATOIS-EDUCATED EAR,
WE DO MISS SOME PREJUDICE.

WAGRadio HAS TOO MANY FRIENDS IN SHOW BUSINESS
WHO ARE GAY or BI-SEXUAL TO ABANDON THEM
BY TURNING A BLIND EYE TO OUR PLAYLIST.
EVEN THE MOST
FANTASTICALLY SOULFUL PIECE OF
NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSIC,
IF IT SPEWS SEXIST or RACIAL HATE,
WON'T BE AIRED.

AND with this song it's TOO BAD CUZ it's a fairly GOOD PIECE OF MUSIC!
So....What we're gonna do is decide if we should cut out the section of homophobic lyrics
from Mr. Hefla Nyah's choon
and present it to you the WAGRadio way.
Stay tuned for GROOVIN' BLUE 11 - 11 .

*also for your edification
an article written about Jamaican homophobia
can be perused by clicking - "*clik here*" in the post's subject title

* * 343 HASTINGS STREET EAST - ERNIE KING'S HARLEM NOCTURNE was where DJZigZag's MENTOR CHUBBY HAYES' MOM COOKED and A LOTTA LOCAL MUSICIANS DID TOO !


ERNIE KING'S HARLEM NOCTURNE CABARET DIDN'T HAVE A LIQUOR LICENCE BUT THE JUICES FLOWED AND THE NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSIC WAS SOWED BY ERNIE ON TROMBONE with MANY OF THE TOP YOUNG RHYTHM 'N' BLUES MUSICIANS IN THE HOUSE BAND. I REMEMBER BEING REGALED BY UNDER-AGE DRUMMER DOUG CUTHBERT'S 'NOCTURNE FABLES' AND SEEING, IN MY MIND'S-EYE, THE 'BAT' THAT TENORIST LARRY VOLEN SAID ERNIE KEPT BEHIND THE BAR ESPECIALLY FOR THE MORE UNRULY PATRONS.
