Almost all of his shows in Germany have been cancelled due to public pressure, and just now I got the message that his show in Vienna has also been cancelled. It's on the news.

The sad thing: The booker here in Vienna issued a statement that "only less than 5% of Bounty Killers lyrics contain a homophobic message" and therefor they see no reason to cancel the show. Austrian left-wing-politicians stated that the show should be cancelled becaus gay people are discriminated in Jamaica. Two unbelievable ignorant and stupid statements... I give thanks that today the owner of the venue finally has cancelled the show.

Also, amazon.de / amazon.com has been sued for selling Bounty Killers albums and albums of other jamaican acts containing homophobic lyrics."

RasAdam, can you do these as quotes from someone else? I'm pretty sure you're not in Vienna, Austria and it'd be nice to see where this quote actually comes from. And if its from the post immediately above it, then just edit the original post.

Thanks.

I never take Ras Adam threads seriously....but uh....good for Apple.

The reggae scene needs a complete overhaul in this sense.

"I never take Ras Adam threads seriously."

why's that?

He's a snotty kid?

At least SOMEBODY gets me.

Which means you shouldn't be taken seriously. That's a shame too, because when you want to be, know one will care.

THE BOY WHO CRYETH WOLF...seems real emo don't he?

I doubt this is just an internet issue. You probably carry this attitude over into real life.

Haha, I don't carry this attitude over to other boards even.
You guys are just special.

now - the multiple pic thing..just straight obnoxious.

We've been over this.

Ras Adam's threads are meant to be as obnoxious as possible.
