Let’s overlook the alleged felony and misdemeanor acts of several of our most prominent dancehall acts during the recent past. I could list them here, of course. However, they are, quite rightly, things of the past and so are best overlooked and erased from our collective memory. And please never ever worry about the fact that very often, the most visible global spokesmen for our Jamaican society today are our male dancehall artists! Don’t ever ever worry that, in far too many cases, these informal spokesmen represent the least socialized elements of our tiny society. No problem, mon!!Now forward to the future of dancehall and its concomitant cultural and (in general) societal improvement of the spiritual lot of our people!! Long live dancehall and its artists, producers and management teams!! Long live Jamaica!!
