Boomer steps up. He feels that impulse. I hope the tradition of the rapid-response song (eg Ohio) doesn't disappear
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Heard the sad news about Sly Dunbar on the school run of all places. I don’t even really know where to start with his immeasurable contribution to music and, well, everything, but watching him at work is best.
Here’s Sly and Robbie in action with Black Uhuru at the Rainbow in Finsbury Park in 1981

Speaking of films, the campaign starts now to persuade Channel 5 to use the black and white version of "Scrooge" next year.(Though the director's accidental appearance in the "mirror scene" is just as good in the colorizzzed version.)
