 | here's a thread about the island jamaica.  i've been listening to a lot of jamaican music, and it blows my mind
 considering the sheer volume of tunes that have come from
 this impoverished, politically troubled and fairly tiny
 island.  so much invention, irie and dread, enough for the
 whole world.
 
 i'd like to visit jamaica, but it seems like it might be
 like going to detroit because you like motown.  the golden
 age of reggae music has come and gone.
 
 has anyone been to jamaica?  anyone keen on lambsbread?
 enjoy a blue mountain brew?  ska, rocksteady, reggae, roots
 and so on?

 | a girl i lived with about 6 years ago went to jamaica and her stories and the pics she brought back were awesome.
 
 there's definitely slums, but there's also a ton of pretty
 places.

 | i've been there, jack.  and lemme tell you, it was fucking boring.
 
 switzerland is a dead, dull, boring, piece of shit chunk of
 rock with absolutely nothing going for it.
 
 just kiddin'.
 
 i heard a rumor that the young gods were from switzerland.
 isn't fennesz from switzerland?  that's good enough for me.
 
 i'll get a zimmer in zurich, paint the town red, etc.
 
 sure jamaica's got some crime, but i think they rope off
 those areas to keep friendly tourists alive and spending
 money.

 i don't want to risk being recruited into the lifestyle
 while i'm all spliffed up and vulnerablized while jamming to
 the sweet reggae vibration, or, uh the young gods cover
 bands that are currently all the rage...

 sore uh tourist in jamaica, tho only infrequently mistaken
 for gay, so i dunno it's a toss up.

 | the statistics don't lie my friend. 
 you've just got this freaky pro-swiss bias, probably because
 you are either especially fond of switzerland for reasons
 unknown, or maybe you've even visited.  maybe you even live
 there, and you're living in denial about the consequences.
 
 switzerland, isn't that the country where the guy agreed to
 be eaten by the other guy, after they met on the internet,
 and realized they were both from switzerland, and one of
 them had the desire to eat a person, and the other guy had
 the twisted notion to be eaten by a person, so they met up
 in zurich or something?  it was all over the news, i'm
 surprised you didn't hear about it.

 | yeah sorry i'm pullin' yer leg. 
 jamaica's got one of the highest murder rates in the world,
 switzerland has one of the lowest, the cannibal murder was
 in germany, and unfortunately both peter tosh and king tubby
 (rip) were tragically murdered in jamaica.
 
 but i'm trying to focus on the good here, and the fact
 remains that jamaica has generated more than it's share of
 great music.
 
 g'night!
