Prime Minister of Jamaica, Bruce Golding, is putting an end to lewd and violent music in Jamaica.
The Jamaican Government has taken a stance against lewd
and violent music. Prime Minister Bruce Golding is willing
to go to parliament to make changes to any law so as to
clean up
the Jamaican society.
"We are going to find a way to deal with the nastiness that
is out there. And if it is some law that needs to be
changed, let us prepare the legislation and go to Parliament
and change it. If it is some resources that we have to find
then, as tough as things are, make
us find it, because we cannot afford to allow this assault
not only on our music, but on our psyche and our identity as
a people, to continue."
The Prime Minister has let it known he is not against
artistic expression, provided it is not detrimental to the
society.
"We must set some parameters and we must be prepared to
ostracize those who step beyond the
boundaries of what is descent and uplifting. Freedom of
expression must be used to do good, to do right, to uplift,
to inspire and to make Jamaica a better place."
This is a positive move by the Jamaican Government which
should be emulated by other Caribbean states, which will
therefore dampen the demand for this type of music and
therefore the supply.
Caribbean people for the most part have been disgusted by
the playing of lewd and violent music in public areas, and
on public service vehicles. As life in these states have
apparently mirrored the artistic somewhat.
