Educate me!


How damon's thirst for knowledge can lead to our edification...

First and second week of April1999

"The Specials were my idea of what I wanted Blur to be."
-damon (27 Feb '99 NME)

"Ska is dance music, first and foremost. Ska was a Jamaican
dance music that swept out of Jamaica in the early 1960s."
-The Ska FAQ Home page


Graham once said that damon was a rude boy. No he wasn't bad-mannered, but dressed nattily and was quite a dandy (still is, BTW). This whole rude boy culture comes from the Ska movement and for those who have no idea what this is about, hop over to the sites below to educate yourselves. Terry Hall, a friend of damon's, and someone with whom damon has collaborated musically, was a central figure in the Specials and continues to have a strong following. So if you thought Ska was about No Doubt, know that there are many more layers in this onion called Ska.
