Thursday, January 5, 2012: Damian Marley - Welcome to Jamrock

I need to just clarify something about 2012.

I was pretty dismissive in my last post about this upcoming year being the end of the world.

While I certainly cannot believe that the next 12 months will roll up to the end of history, the present and any future, I must stress that they probably ain't going to be any picnic either.

We'll see if the Euro Zone will collapse, we'll see if this climate change is the real deal, we'll see if there are any more horrific earthquakes, tsunamis or volcanoes biding their time until they are ready to explode.

We'll see what politics and the American Presidential Election will dredge up. Or, better, will keep down. We'll see if the 99% will do something with the momentum started by the few of the faithful believers, or if people would just rather keep on keeping on the Xbox and Boob Tube.

We'll see.

So, will 2012 be the end of the world? I'm betting no. But, will there be bodies in the streets, poor people dead at random? I can't help but say yes.

Let's just hope that, out on the streets, they'll still have the balls to call it murder.
