Cultural Industries Dancing a Jig
See the man dance…
The man is dancing a jig
why is the man dancing a jig?
Because He is happy and gay
He is a calypsonian/tent manager/ kadooment band leader/ gay rights activist
That’s why he is so flipping happy? Let’s examine why…
For the first time in recent cultural history
Government subsidies and prize monies to Kadooment bands, calypso tents and Calypsonians have been increased.
Yeah, you might say that has been done before but the difference is it has not been preceded by cultural industries having to “holding the country to ransom”.
Usually increases are the results of a bitterly fought battle between NCF and Batman, I know because Boyce has been involved many of these skirmishes over the years.
Now we are fortunate enough that we have an administration that recognizes the financial challenges that face our industry and with out threat have responded and increased their funding.
So the man above dances his gig as a Kadooment Band leader, Tent manager and calypsonian he is happy, but how is he happy as a gay activist?
They are now marrying gay couples in California!! whoopee does it get better than that….?!
