Dutty Wine Kills
Fathead pointed me to this article in the Jamaican Gleaner. Some poor child in St. Catherines died recently and the cause of death ~The Dutty Wine. Dang. That's quite a bad way to die.
I do feel for her mum, however, it is sort of an interesting cause of death.
The one quote made me crack up:
Three things to tell your teenagers before they leave home:
Don't Drink n Drive
Don't Do Drugs
Don't Dutty Wine

The one quote made me crack up:
"It is a warning to young people that dem mus stop du de Dutty Wine," said one
woman who called the incident a curse on the land. "Is like a demon sen' from de
pit a hell dat is taking the lives of the youth even before dem have time to
repent."

The quote made me giggle too...and then I felt a little bit guilty ;-) I wish the article came with a video of the dance.
I don't understand
was the child asthmatic?
I don't think she was asthmatic, perhaps she was exhausted, didn't want to splurge the $4 on water. Or more likely, someone was holding on to her neck the wrong way. Can you imagine what the fella she was dancing with is thinking? Either he is dying of shame, or he is walking around feeling like the pimp of the world, I Dutty Wine so hard the Biiatchhh drop down n die. -ok that was a pretty horrible thing to think..ek.
I am not a champion dutty winer but I can do it and when I did it I sprained my neck but it is a bad gyal dance and as a Jamican I will continue to do it!!!!!
Stupid I know....
Great Qoute!
Ok I definately am no Champion, but have tried my hand at it, and hey its all fun. I herby decree that the dutty wine whould continue. Just drink a lot of water before.
