The History Boys - one for Glaconman

[Sweder]

I was intrigued at a point raised by Meadows in an earlier piece along the lines of the paradox of an inherently racist group (such as the 80's skinheads in the movie) living to the beat of Jamaican Ska. I can remember really enjoying Ska at that time - it was great to dance to if, like me, dancing for you was to imitate a giant spider on acid - but I don't recall knowing then that its roots were in the Caribbean. Perhaps I was more naive in my youth - race didn't ever seem to be an issue. There again I was raised in Sarf Lardan (Kingston, ironically) - there was a good mix of peoples even in the mid 70's and we all seemed to get along pretty well.

I'm really looking forward to this now.
