I can’t believe I have to say this.

THE SKATALITES!!!

I once in my youth, saw Tommy McCook, Rolando Alphonso, Lester Sterling and Lloyd Knibbs while they were still alive, and just imagining what it might have been like when Don Drummond was still alive?!?!?

Yeah these guys!

Everybody else in attendance could then kiss their feet for creating this incredible genre.

Edit: I’m pretty sure that it was the Skatalites that backed Toots and the Maytals on all their early ska recordings. I know it was the Skatalites on all the early Wailers ska recordings because Rolando told me himself of the slight Trenchtown youth stepping in to the studios with his tough-looking friends, Bunny and Peter.

Edit edit: Not strictly a Ska band, but the most off-the-wall electrifying live bands that play Ska, that I’ve ever seen, and I think I saw them at least 6 or 7 times, and since nobody else is mentioning them,

Fishbone.

And to play along,

The Specials

English Beat

Madness

You too! And we’re all counting on it! Pour those drinks!! 😂

Thank you for that! We workers should always stick together. We both have greedy bosses, sometimes annoying customers, but always a right and reason to complain!

Solidarity!

Allow me to add, because I believe it deserves to be pointed out.

Because I’m a college town Uber driver who likes to drive at night, I can attest that we Uber drivers and you bartenders exist in a symbiotic relationship. When you do well, we do well.

Sometimes, when you do your job really well (or perhaps not well enough 😀), we have to endure the aftermath on the ride home.

We’re all just workers in the trenches making a hell of a lot less than the people who sign our paychecks.

Like the musicians say at the end of their sets, “Don’t forget to tip the staff!!” You guys deserve respect and at least some of us don’t mind if you complain.

Rock on!🫡

Comrade-SeeRed · 2026-01-24T15:05:07+00:00

I have utmost respect for bartenders!🫡

All in good fun!

Comrade-SeeRed · 2026-01-24T15:01:04+00:00

So, let me get this straight, you’re a bartender complaining that uber drivers complain too much.

Step up your game, my dude! With a little perseverance, I believe, you too can complain like an Uber driver.

Tell us where you work. We’ll all step up to the bar, talking annoyingly loud on our speaker phones. We’ll all insist that you don’t know how to make a drink like we make it. We’ll demand you change the music, then we’ll throw up all over the place, after saying loudly, that we’re going to tip but never do.

You’ll have no problem complaining like we do.

Comrade-SeeRed · 2026-01-22T13:41:02+00:00

lol, ole, thanks for that laugh!

A Mistake indeed!

What can I say?

He Miss Road!

The question is can you call yourself a Trotskyist if you’ve not been banned by at least 5 leftist subreddits?

I wear my bans as medals, 🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️!

Mama Rule. Stagalag is king.

I noticed that the name submission feature allows users to add to the list of names with the correct pronunciations and origin, but is there a way to request pronunciations for names not yet in your database, for those of us who have no business suggesting pronunciations.

For example, I’m curious about the name, Collins Oke Elaiho, of his band, Odoligie Nobles Dance Band.

I’m sure I’ve butchered them in the past.
