Subterranean Homesick Blues" is a song by Bob Dylan, originally released on the album Bringing It All Back Home in March 1965. The following month it was issued as a single, becoming his first Top 40 Billboard Hot 100 hit and going Top 10 in the UK. It was subsequently re-released on numerous compilations such as Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits (1967). One of Dylan's first 'electric' pieces, "Subterranean Homesick Blues" was also notable for its innovative film clip, which first appeared in D. A. Pennebaker's documentary, Dont Look Back. "Subterranean Homesick Blues" was, in fact, an extraordinary three-way amalgam of Jack Kerouac, the Guthrie/Pete Seeger song "Taking It Easy" ('mom was in the kitchen preparing to eat/sis was in the pantry looking for some yeast') and the riffed-up rock'n'roll poetry of Berry's "Too Much Monkey Business". While Dylan was not a member of the original Beat circles of the 1950s, Kerouac's The Subterraneans, a novel published in 1958 about the Beats, has been cited as a possible inspiration for the song's title. Stretching further back, the title alludes to Notes from Underground, a novel by Fyodor Dostoevsky, whose works were popular with Beat writers such as Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg. The song's first line is a reference to the production of LSD and the politics of the era: "Johnny's in the basement mixing up the medicine / I'm on the pavement thinkin' about the Government". The song also depicts some of the growing conflicts between "straight"...

In summer 2008, the junior youth were asked to come up with a skit that recalled some of the real life difficulties they've faced in their lives. The three skits they came up with were about apathetic parents, corporal punishment in school, and hard times in a refugee camp. A number of our junior youth are Karen (Burmese) refugees and many have only been in the country for a year or two.

Since 2006 major research studies on the applications of mobile telephony in Jamaica have been undertaken by the Telecommunications Policy and Management Programme, Mona School of Business, UWI with the funding support of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC). Such research has focused on the use of mobile instruments and services to help disadvantaged groups such as low income persons, women and youth. This video presents the perspectives of two working class Jamaican respondents on the utility of mobile telephony in their day-to-day lives. The interviewees describe the cell phone as integral to their business operations. These and other respondents demonstrated how mobile communication is not just about useless chatter, but often driven by income generation and survival outreach. With a rate of 94% of the population being described as active users, this may explain why so many Jamaican regard the mobile phone as indispensable in their daily lives.
