and a wonderful good evening..TO YOU TOO

ATTENTION ABOUND

Political violence, sexual abuse and pedophilia are what have plagued Jamaica for years,mainly because we are not one voice. These victims often suffer in silence because they feel there is no one who will listen and they have no support. Violence breeds violence, sexual abuse creates dysfunction and pedophilia is a plague upon our nation. Recently , there has been an increase in missing and exploited children. What have you done for them lately?

             Cecile, when I tried to find your Twitter page, I remember coming upon unfound many times as I was searching for ‘’TheSeal’’ and of course your page did not surface. A seal is fed a fish and then made a spectacle in a circus. It waves its fin-like arms and climbs upon a ball, all for the entertainment of the circus patrons; it is a thoroughly entertaining mammal one that would not survive in a regular home. Art always seems to imitate life pretty well.

              Who are Weezy and Jlo? Do they know you or know of your existence? Are you or Sean Paul looking for the support of the American public? It is laughable how Jamaican entertainers model themselves after American entertainers when their behaviors and attitudes are modeled after their very own culture and they make no reference of emulating us, even if they are. They stand proud in their own skin, being Americans. So again, who is Weezy and just how much does the Jamaican public look up to him or Jlo? Or are you speaking of the promoters who pay Jamaican entertainers less than the international ones? If this is the case, you do not need the public’s support as you are looking to support your cause. A cause that will not benefit the public, I am sure. And just why should you be paid more again, to hold more American artists in high esteem? We do not pay for lack of self-esteem, and watered down leadership. Stand tall in who you are as Jamaican entertainers, then you can command your own price and we will support you, because then you will be a confident JAMAICAN musician and our children will find priceless values within you, or we will learn something from you.

               As entertainer, you are in position to lead and influence, the Jamaican public,  and if you need their support,we need more than your watered down superficial Americanized ideals. We need strong, driven, knowledge filled leaders to represent our country and since you are asking for our support, these are our prerequisites. Feel free to check off your qualifications and years of experience.    

       The waggonist mentality spreads like H.I.V consumes like A.I.D.S and makes you look like a clown in parliament.

         When the Lisa Hype pictures were released, of course many gossip columns including JMG, ran with the story, but where were you and the other ladies to defend this cause? Was the cause of respect and sisterhood too big of a cause for you to support or wasn’t she your artist?  If monetary support is the only cause you seek you do not need the public’s support for that and frankly it would be fitting to step down from our stage since being paid is the only way, that your cause will be met. By the way, in return for our support, what is it that you will give us in return? Your music that we will pay to listen… performances?  I am rather dull at math, but zeros were always easy to calculate and in this case, 0 + 0 =0. So for that we don’t need you and you most certainly don’t need us. We have supported everyone in our own way for years only to get back rags to riches entertainers with more attitude than the city of Pompey itself. While you check off your qualifications, please document and emulate the spirit of charity that the American Entertainers you admire have.

          In closing, I most certainly mean no disrespect but names often imitate attitudes and to my surprise. I ran into this little bit:-

Origin of the name Cecile:

French feminine form of Cecil, which is derived from Caecilius, an old Roman family name, which has its root in the Latin caecus (blind, dim-sighted). The name was borne by a 3rd-century Christian who founded a church in the Trastevere section of Rome. During the 6th century, a story of her life was written and she was henceforth venerated as a martyr. She is regarded as the patron saint of musicians.
