    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

                  I listen to him all the time on XM radio. I believe he is also the program director for The Joint, the reggae channel.

                  I much prefer the radio program I remember him having in JA, The Quiet Storm. His music knowledge is so vast and you don't get exposed to that in an all-reggae format.

                      Aren't we all now, lol.

                      The Quiet Storm was special though, it introduced me to a lot of world music genres that wasn't played anywhere else on JA radio at the time. He would also play reggae music from groups like Aswad that were not household names in JA.
