Oh BTW - I would have been less critical of him now if that what he was pushing in the beginning ..you know, see his viral fame was an opportunity for him to get some donation for the bridge instead of going aroun saying im neva give nobaddy permission fi use im words fi mek video and im noh waan noh money fram nobaddy

It seemed short sighted to me at the time an so dats why mi a raise mi yeye brow now dat im pan stage wid Beenie man

######################################SNIP######## ####################
&quot;..............................I found the interview embarrassing. I felt sorry for Clifton Brown being humiliated by these two ‘well-educated’ Jamaicans. One would say displaying clear class bias issues – looking down on Clifton Brown as he expressed himself the only way he knew how. To add fuel to the fire, when Neville Bell tried to save face in the interview by finding a serious issue in the comedy which they made of the guest. Just then Simon Crosskill did the unthinkable when he said:

Oh stop pouring cold water on it. Who cares about the bridge?Clifton Brown chimed in and said,

well the whole community cares about the bridgeMore laughter from Simon and Neville.***

A huge backlash would soon follow. Several readers wrote to the Editor expressing the disgust they felt from the two hosts on the programme. I don’t think anyone can watch the video and not be mortified by what was on display.



That same weekend, Clifton Brown went on a crusade during his Entertainment Report interview with Anthony Miller when he stated that he wanted to live a normal life and, essentially, he wanted to shed more light on the bridge and not on himself. Jamaican viewers empathised with him and all wished his community a speedy recovery.

The Celebrity



A week later, Clifton Brown’s tone had changed. In an Entertainment Report exclusive interview, he was back as a star embracing his new-found life and status. How do you change in a week? Did money cause Clifton Brown to sing a different song? What about the bridge? The entertainer Clifton “Twanging” Brown, who earlier in the week signed an exclusive 2-year contract with LIME, expressed that his telephone company crossed it and that Digicel and Claro did not. He also spoke of his plan to launch a clothing line; all this in addition to his attorney announcing intentions to secure Clifton’s intellectual property rights.

One can theorise that Neville Bell resigned over this debacle and Clifton Brown could be saying ‘he who laughs last laughs best’. Maybe I am suffering from a case of what we Jamaicans refer to as bad-mind (envy), but the long and short of it is that Clifton now appears to be little more than an imp who accidentally stumbled upon a pot of gold and has decided to forget about his community’s woes and focus on his own pocket. After all, he does have six children and life in Jamaica isn’t getting any cheaper… But, Jamaican people are fickle and public interest will move on. It takes more than new clothing and sunglasses to make a star. It takes character and talent. Clifton Brown is unlikely to shine for long. Like a shooting star, his brief light will go out as he races across this sky of momentary fame. And when it is over, I hope he will be able to show how he used his opportunity as a media sensation to help his community. Otherwise, what would all of this have been worth?

Until then, I don’t know about some people, but I am over it. I canna cross it no more!&quot;

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS'">Yesterday, Mayor of Kingston Desmond McKenzie, following a visit to the area, reassured residents that help is on the way. He said, however, that it will take some time before work can be done on the bridge.

&quot;The reality of the situation is that the whole road network needs to be considered because of the amount of land slippage there,&quot; said McKenzie. &quot;Instructions have been given to carry out some remedial work to deal with the most dangerous area, and to put up some retaining walls,&quot; he continued, noting that work will start today.

As for the bridge, McKenzie said: &quot;That is more of a long-term situation. The NWA will be coming up with a proper design for it.&quot;

The mayor, however, could not give a timeline or say how much it would cost to repair the bridge or build a new one.</span>
