    For HL ONLY!

    Personally, I have grown very, very weary of ridiculous arguments with so-called knowledgeable people who refuse to recognize and indeed acknowledge that Jamaican music has been steadily declining for several years. Oftentimes the justification given is even pathetic! The bottom line is that, despite occasional bright spots, we are near rock bottom in the evolution of our music, as is the case with other aspects of our dysfunctional society.

    I have no interest in discussing this totally predictable (I just could not pinpoint a date when it would happen) drama below, and so I am simply posting it for someone who obviously shares my views on this subject, HL . I will NOT respond to comments by any other poster.

    Abrupt end for Sting 2014

    Saturday, December 27, 2014 | 11:38 AM

    KINGSTON, Jamaica – The 2014 staging of Magnum Sting came to an abrupt end a few hours ago after it was marred by a series of melee.

    The first started when one entertainer, Major Mackerel, began his set, which was slated to be a clash with another artiste.

    A fight between two entertainers followed when, according to a Magnum Sting representative, members of deejays Demarco and Masika’s entourages had a confrontation backstage.

    Dozens of patrons were sent running for cover as the two parties hurled bottles at each other. A few gunshots were also fired but it is unclear if police personnel who were trying to calm the crowd fired the shots.

    In Addition, HL....

    I’m not sure if you realize it, boss, but Sting is THE WORST and most unmusical concert/ musical stage show held in any of the more than 40 countries that make up the Caribbean!!! The quality of our music now closely resembles the quality of our dumb movie output!

    Talk about being a fcking disgrace to a region rich in musical culture!!!

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.

          It allows him to say things unchallenged as HL is one to highlight only our perceived shortfalls.
          There are many artists on Sting,it is covenient for Historian to ignore that,he does that at his own peril.
          So he objects to the so-called main acts without acknowledging that the alternatives were on Sting.
          There is a strong possibility that Marley received accreditation abroad then it transcended to Jamaica,he was hampered locally by the prevailing stigma attached to Rasta by members of our society that would have us believe they have refined taste and senses.
          Ignorance is bliss.

            So they promote Jazz...lol and blues festivals.Classism in music.Classic when a man can say he could not understand Holts police in helicopter, seeing how lucid the message was and is from an artist know to be a classic crooner.

              It's not promoting classism merely because one favours a musical genre over another. Not a thing wrong with that in my opinion and they should be able to discuss their musical preferences etc....

                A fine line in how you show favours and promote,i dont like todays Djx but to disparge them and their commentary at the alienation of others is xtreme.Jamaica has a promotional market for all its genres.We just dont have a clue how to promote it.

                  I hate Sting. I hate the the puerile clashes, I hate the fights (well, some are amusing still), I hate the gunshots, I hate us talking about having to do something about all of that and every year Sting just pushes more of the same and worse down our throats.

                  But I do realise that Sting is loved by many, including some foreigners. Sting was streamed live this year, as I believe it was in years past. How many Jamaican events are streamed live? Yes, it is loved by the "underclass" but what should we expect? Do we really expect them to appreciate a recital by Orrett Rhoden when most of us can't tell the difference between and trombone and a trumpet?!?! Or even know what C-note sounds like!

                  So, Sting is not my cup o' tea, but I think I will be respectful to the many people who do love it and just in case it really takes off as a huge foreign exchange earner, I would appear a bit prescient.

                  But then, no one asked my opinion.

                            THE sticking point!
                            I must say there is something vastly superior about our moderators,and it is demonstrated(once again)in this thread.
