    back of house: psycho cooks etc. Front of house: bimbo and airhead servers, clueless managers and evil customers who just WANT to get difficult orders, innit?

    I work with a guy who called matisyahu a mediocre artist and a novelty.

    calling matisyahu reggae, is calling sublime ska.
    he may be heavily influenced by reggae but he strips it down of all the things that make reggae such a beautiful style of music.

    listen to some jimmy cliff, king tubby, lee perry, or burning spear.

    It's a shame though that he keeps singing about a country that DOESN'T EXIST.
