Jamaica Gleaner "DECLARING THAT Jamaica's music has died, producer Mikey Barnett says the Government needs to restrict freedom of expression if the society is to survive.
'The Government has failed in its role to protect the society from itself - meaning artistes of today. There is too much freedom in the name of creative expression,' Barnett told a recent Gleaner Editors' Forum.
Barnett argued that the Govern-ment had allowed a small societal sore to turn into gangrene before trying to fix it.
He said the decline in Jamaica's music is going to be impossible to address because the State allows everyone to freely express what he or she wants through areas such as music."
