Bob Marley & Celine Deon ... Both Jamaican icons?

Earlier this evening, I went to our favorite take-out restaurant, The Roasting Company, to pick up dinner for my wife and me. It's probably my favorite place within a five mile radius of my house ... I can get some of the best rotisserie chicken in Charlotte and Beth is able to get an all veggie plate where none of the vegetables are cooked with meat (Beth is officially a "fishatarian"). Perfect.

On the way home I heard a special on NPR about Celine Deon and her influence on Jamaican pop culture. Sure, I thought. I can just see a bunch of natty dreads rockin' out to Celine. But I guess I'm wrong. According to the interview, Celine is a rock icon in Jamaica. And it's not the masses that admire her the most but the Jamaican gangstas, drug dealers and other seedy individuals. So if you're visiting Negril, Kingston or Ocho Rios anytime soon and hear Celine, I suggest you accelerate the scooter you're on and get as far away as possible.
