Breaking the Silence

Remember the pair of concerts in July that were supposed to feature Judgement Yard, Sizzla’s “fiyah blazing” Bobo Ashanti Rasta brethren? The Judgement crew never showed; the promoter got burned. An early September show that moved from one club to another before being cancelled was re-scheduled for this week. Now that show’s off too. A note on Sizzla’s website indicates that, “as far as I & I Judgement Yard rasta youths are concerned, anything that may appear as a setback is really a setforward and a step forward. Judgement Yard will forever forward on.” Does that sound as Billy Pilgrim-ish to you as it does to me?
