Why did they let the kids from the resource room get a hold of a microphone and instruments?

I think the real question here is what are you gonna do, when you run out of “gancha”.

One time I was watching a bunch of white dudes with dreads play reggae at a party at some private cove in Laguna Beach (although there was one sad, token Jamaican playing keyboards or standing there, or whatever). Not only could it not have been a whiter affair, it probably couldn’t have been a much more exclusive or affluent scene. Much to my delight, the whitest of the crew took a minute between songs, and lazily pushed his natty dreads out of his face to say, “da parking lot weel be cloosin’ at ten-turty, da parking be cloosed at ten-turty”. It was the perfect bullshit storm, and I loved it.

Yeah they sound like shit but most reggae sounds like shit anyways so give them 5 years and a lot more ganja and Red Stripe and they’ll be as serviceable as anyone else tackling reggae.

the guy with the hat knows how bad it is but he’s doing it out of obligation to the bald kid who’s looking at him like ‘isn’t this the shit!’

my friend used to sell pot to this fucking douche bag white guy with dreadlocks, he had even given himself a jamaican nick-name for us to use, i wont tell you what it was it was so gay it makes me cringe inside, the guys was such a cock and thought he was mr cool guy jamaican friend to all black people……..
……and the happy ending to the story is that the last i heard from him he had all his dreadlocks ripped out by some nigerian kids who beat him so black and blue (hey, he finally got his wish!) that his mommy and daddy came and took him away from the city.
love that story.
(you’re a cock, steve)
