Only in the USA

It's the Winter Solstice, so it must be time for Reggae Channukah.

I don't quite know how to explain this. It's wrong on so many levels, but like a train wreck in slow motion, I cannot look away. I just hope this cultural collision ends before someone starts frying potatoes in hemp seed oil, or start telling tales about how there was barely enough weed for one smoke...


Probably not only...

because I don't find this especially shocking.

Thanks for the reminder!

I've dug up the tape for the celebrations. It's a lot of fun, though not quite as excellent as the Regae Passover.

But definitely not only-in-America. Somewhere I have an Israeli Reggae tape, with Hebrew songs in a heavy American accent.

Funny. I got a copy of Alpha Blondy's Masada [mumble] years ago. It was quite popular when I was last in Israel, because Blondy is a West African Reggae musician who sings the odd song or two in Hebrew. (He might sing in Arabic at some point. I forget.)
