I am extremely interested in this particular story, Ben! I spent three months in Jamaica as an exchange student through AFS in 1983. I was 18, had just graduated high school and was about go into the USAF.

There is a much longer story I could tell, but it was my time in Jamaica that shaped and solidified my thoughts and opinions about racism, bigotry, and everything associated with that. I lived with a family in Kingston, far away from the touristy north side of the island.

I cannot wait to read more of your time in Ghana!

You’re in London around the turn of the millennium

You have Ben Simms, Surgeon, Space DJz and about a dozen other minimal superstars to pick from, that we paid a small fortune to bring to party’s full of welcoming super fans in Australia and you went with Drum n Bass instead!!!! That was a huge mistake!!! 😂😂

Seems Parker has shifted right or maybe she’s been there all the while!
