2. If you were suddenly fabulously wealthy, once you had given a generous donation to charitable causes, what car would be your one indulgence? What colour would it be? <span style="color: #FF0000">Not a car person, so this would not be an idulgance. But I promised a girl I consider a daughter a Buggati Veyron and my son a Zonda Pagani...I would however, Drink alot of single malt 50 year old Whiskey</span>

5. What is your favourite spot in Jamaica?
<span style="color: #FF0000">The bush in the Santa Cruz Mountains, .. specifically there are two spots of primary forest left but few people are aware of them,and where I learnt of the dead Taino gods, Obeah, bush medicine, this is where I live in my minds eye no matter where I am..

9. What are your 3 favourite TV programmes?
<span style="color: #FF0000">apart from poltical documentaries.... ( Edge of Darkness, Game of Thrones , Firefly...(Gina Torres)</span>
10. Which Jamaican PM do you feel did the best job and why? <span style="color: #FF0000">Sangster..probably the worlds greatest technocratic politican (He was effective prime minister for most of Busta era, he grew the economy, he actually insituted most of structures we now accept as Jamaican were developed during his stewardship, he set the course of the shearer growth era, began the process of reform, most of what Seaga claimed as his acheivements were done under Sangsters, during his era Jamaica was declared Maleria free .. plus he died in the saddle literally and figuratively !!!!! I mean roumours had it he was having sex... that is the way to die</span>!) </div></div>

As for the Bobs best songs..
&quot;Jah live&quot;,
&quot;Small Axe&quot; ,
&quot; Lord I got to keep on moving&quot;,
&quot;Smile Jamaica&quot;...

I never understood why Jah Live does not get as much play as it deserves.. it was written during what must have been a testing time to the mans faith.. the death of christ in his Kingly Character as it was called... it is introspective, I like to think of it as like Coltranes tune on A love Supreme.. Afirmation..
.. I think Smile Jamaica should be the national anthem!!!!.. Small Axe is like an ode to the power of the powerless... And I got to keep on moving is like a Country and Western standard....I train to that, when I zone out...By the way I suffer from Migraines and if I listen to Rastaman Vibration album is cures my migraines.. Maybe they should make bob a saint!!!!! (My migraine cures are hot bath, mint tea with one sugar and listening to rastaman vibration)

Re: Quick Quiz (For Tuff Gong Only)

I'm really enjoying the responses. The music in particular is reminding me of artitsts I haven't heard in years.

Please keep them coming. I won't score any more though as I get the point.

What I have discovered from this discussion is that, when you are having trouble getting along with someone, it's important to pause and explore commonalities. Often we have more in common with others and share more interests than we realize.

I am loving this.
