What is the boyce boy doing in Jamaica? I will expand on my reason for visiting here later but right now I will tell you this.

While in Jamaica I am keeping a low profile as you know how Jamaicans are. They can be “funny” when it comes to certain “funny” issues in a violent aggressive kind of way. (funny here meaning gay)

Some people also cannot decipher between fact and fantasy!

Next thing you know, I would be walking through Spanish Town, somebody will recognise me as Madd from Barbados that group that got in “dat botty boy” archiebull cox. Of course I would vigorously deny it and claim I would never be associated with such a group. Somebody would say “nah de boy does be pun de radia talking funny” next thing yuh know I dead! (that would raise some peoples hopes there) you could imagine a man could get dead so easy for playing a role. That is like meeting actor Tobey Maguire and throwing him off a building and expecting he would shoot web and swing himself down!

An Entertainer can find himself in danger if his professional persona gives a perception which in no way represents his true self. People also should not be so quick to act on perceptions as happens here in Jamaica where attacks on supposed “gays” occur regularly. It dawns on you as you walk around here, that that could easily happen to you.

So while I am here I talk with extra bass in my voice, drink beer and if any one recognises me I walk pass them like I have never seen them before.

By the time people read this I should have flown out of their air space and on my way back to Barbados! More on Jamaica later, Irie mon!
