1
Hear my prayer, LORD;
let my cry for help come to you.
2 Do not hide your face from me
when I am in distress.
Turn your ear to me;
when I call, answer me quickly.

3 For my days vanish like smoke;
my bones burn like glowing embers.
4 My heart is blighted and withered like grass;
I forget to eat my food.
5 In my distress I groan aloud
and am reduced to skin and bones.
6 I am like a desert owl,
like an owl among the ruins.
7 I lie awake; I have become
like a bird alone on a roof.
8 All day long my enemies taunt me;
those who rail against me use my name as a curse.
9 For I eat ashes as my food
and mingle my drink with tears
10 because of your great wrath,
for you have taken me up and thrown me aside.
11 My days are like the evening shadow;
I wither away like grass.

12 But you, LORD, sit enthroned forever;
your renown endures through all generations.
13 You will arise and have compassion on Zion,
for it is time to show favor to her;
the appointed time has come.
14 For her stones are dear to your servants;
her very dust moves them to pity.
15 The nations will fear the name of the LORD,
all the kings of the earth will revere your glory.
16 For the LORD will rebuild Zion
and appear in his glory.
17 He will respond to the prayer of the destitute;
he will not despise their plea.

18 Let this be written for a future generation,
that a people not yet created may praise the LORD:
19 “The LORD looked down from his sanctuary on high,
from heaven he viewed the earth,
20 to hear the groans of the prisoners
and release those condemned to death.”
21 So the name of the LORD will be declared in Zion
and his praise in Jerusalem
22 when the peoples and the kingdoms
assemble to worship the LORD.

23 In the course of my life[b] he broke my strength;
he cut short my days.
24 So I said:
“Do not take me away, my God, in the midst of my days;
your years go on through all generations.
25 In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth,
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
26 They will perish, but you remain;
they will all wear out like a garment.
Like clothing you will change them
and they will be discarded.
27 But you remain the same,
and your years will never end.
28 The children of your servants will live in your presence;
their descendants will be established before you.”

The wife of a popular nightclub owner in the Corporate Area is expected to be charged by the police tomorrow with unlawful wounding, following allegations that she assaulted two of her female employees yesterday morning at the club.

THE STAR was reliably informed by a police source that the two complainants reported that the woman allegedly assaulted them, resulting in facial and head injuries to both.

Up to press time last night, it was unclear what led to the confrontation between the woman and her staff.

However, it is understood that the beating was meted out to both women in a private room located in the club.

Interestingly, THE STAR understands that this is not the first time that the woman has been accused of the act, as it is also being alleged that she beats her female employees regularly. The St Andrew Central police are investigating.

IS A NEXT BATTEMAN , MAN PHONE YUH CALL SO SORT DIS OUT

I am a nobody so because I am a nobody I can inquire about the ‘’somebodies’’ in Jamaica and after inquiring I have realized that they are nobodies just like me  

First I want to address the managers and producers who for years have been feeding the public with poorly orchestrated , lame gimmicks. One publicist cannot service the whole music fraternity because in doing so you are putting your careers in the hand of one person to do as they please.  We are different  and we all will not get along. There is no need to invent superficial rivalries and the real ones are swept under the rug. Those don’t sell music. Jamaica is a small place, everyone knows someone that knows someone, when you send those superficial promotional releases they are boring because the person you are writing about, the people reading know it is nothing more than a bag of lies. Silly enough though, the truth about people will always be more interesting because in relating the truth, someone will always be able to relate and fans will be gained in the process.

Some promoters try to promote music encouraging the artist to ‘’diss’’  the hottest/most successful artist of the day. It wont work if the artist doesn’t know the person singing the dis song and doesn’t have a true disagreement with them. The record will not sell, you are wasting your time.

Last week , apparently two artist ,planned a ‘’sex tape’’ release , without a sex tape . Plans were put into motion via blackberry and twitter, to fool gossip lovers like myself and innocent fans in order to sell a few songs to the crowd. Later on in the week, a ‘’pretend kartel’ pregnancy was used to launch a career. How much lower are you trying to take us? Or are you insulting our intelligence and boldly doing so? One thing for sure, if American musicians come up with a sales gimmick, you best believe its real.  Leading people on is an insult and if it is used to sell music, people will get tired of both.

Allow the music to be the music.

OBEAH AND THE BUSINESS

We were all spermlings before we became fetuses,then babies, then toddlers then ,adolescents then adults, then mature adults then we die. When many musicians started, they had to beg, pretend to like ,sponge and endure many sleepless nights until they got a breakthrough.  So why is it as soon as someone gets to the top, they start fighting the small ones at the bottom? You had your time to shine, allow someone else to come in and shine as well.

Many of you claim you go to church yet you are ‘’protected’’ by the obeah man. People say they walk by you and  their whole body goes numb, I guess that one was stronger than the March Drug store brand. I won’t call you by name but is that supposed to make your music sell?

The uptown singer, that sings well, you have an ex that everyone says you have not gotten over. They say the Obeah man says you are his biggest customer? Why hasn’t your career crossed over?

Young woman with the nice husband and two children, you said the obeah man told you the other person’s obeah is too strong so because you could not get her down. You have been carrying news from pillow to post spreading lies and even a photograph you sent out online.  You don’t even have a career, shame on you.

The man in the business that no one cannot obeah but still that doesn’t stop you from going to the obeah man carrying back the fake stories about people wanting you to hang.  The spirit is a strong thing why cant your obeah man cure yours?

The dread that wears his locks around his ankle for protection, why didn’t you lend it to your siblings to be protected?

The universal all rounder obeah man clown, that confessed that it wasn’t you but called out another entertainer that did the obeah deed. How did you know that he did something if you didn’t try?

I could go on and on but by reading you know yourselves and know they what I have typed are not lies.

You all have dirty , badminded red eyed nasty ways and that is why the business is stagnant, you each sit and watch each other, plotting your brother’s demise, blocking whoever you feel should not shine in the music, forgetting God gave you a chance, and don’t think it was man. It was God who gave you your time to shine. Have you ever wondered why other musicians world wide makes more money than Jamaicans?  They all concentrate on their music, while you concentrate on the music of others. Plotting, cutting, obeah-ing, cursing each other with none to console. But I will leave you this ..Because me the nobody loves the music so much.

But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth. 18: If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub. 19: And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your sons cast them out? therefore shall they be your judges. 20: But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. 21: When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace: 22: But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils. 23: He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

JAMAICA’S MUSIC INDUSTRY..WHERE DO YOU STAND?
