BASICS: 10CC, Steely Dan, Hunter Thompson ... I put the three of these in the same class ... and as I think about it, I might want to throw Frank Zappa in that mix as well. 10 CC are extremely brilliant, seem completely natural, unpretentious in the development and execution of their art, and they have a way of bending words that brings on a big “Ah Ha ...” Once you hear what they have to say, you are left wondering why you weren’t able to have seen or said things in such a cinematic manner ... it’s all about the word play, and there are fewer things finer in music or literature then that.Probably the biggest problems, if one can call it a problem is that there were no less then two really strong writing teams within the ranks of 10CC ... those being Kevin Godley and Lol Creme [and] Eric Stewart and Graham Gouldman. The first half of the team took a very artsy, and as I said, cinematic view of the music, while latter were more straight forward in their approach to pop music. Non of these people could be considered a ‘flash in the pan’ in any manner ... Eric Stewart had been a member and writer for Wayne Fontana & The Mindbenders and had a super hit with “The Game Of Love,” “A Groovy Kind Of Love” and several other songs. Gouldman succeeded in knocking out the world by writing both “For Your Love” and “Heart Full Of Soul” for the Yardbirds [remember Eric Claption and Jimmy Page], the songs “Bus Stop” and “Look Through Any Window” for The Hollies [and of course you remember Graham Nash from CS&N] and he even wrote two hits for the group Herman’s Hermits. They were also part of, if I may put it this way, a music factory, who turned out one hit after bubble gum and pop hit after another. The point being, that individually, these guys had tremendous street credits, all it took was for them to merge their talents and take the world by storm.Man O Man [please, use your best reggae accent when you say Man O Man] ... the ride was more then great, but due to changes in the group, this is where I had to finally had to leave off with 10 CC.This is not to say that “Bloody Tourists” does not have it’s high points, or its bright spots, because it does ... it’s just that with this release I felt a stress, something I just can’t put my finger on, but ever present non the less. “Dreadlock Holiday” was the hit, and there are many out there who feel that this was a bit of a racist song ... and in defense of the band, I don’t think those people actually got it, because the point 10 CC were making [with there ‘on purpose’ very bad rendition of a reggae song] is that one can have a “Dreadlock Holiday” anywhere, at anytime.I was very disheartened to feel this was the end, ‘My Dreadlock Holiday’ ... because after all, “I didn’t like 10 CC ... I loved them!”Review by Jenell Kesler

I listened to this LP once to playgrade it.... I still want those 40 or so minutes back to this day.I wonder if I am the only one who finds the lyrical content to "Dreadlock Holiday" racist and also a prime example of what NOT to write? Check this fuckery : I was walkin' down the streetConcentratin' on truckin' rightI heard a dark voice beside of meAnd I looked round in a state of frightI saw four faces one madA brother from the gutterThey looked me up and down a bitAnd turned to each otherand blah blah blah. google it. the worst part is how repetitive the hook is, and how it makes absolutely no sense, as it ends with " Don't you walk thru my wordsYou got to show some respectDon't you walk thru my words'Cause you ain't heard me out yet"As if to imply "No, faithful listener.... there is a left turn coming up... there is a punchline to this" This should appeal to the closed minded, but for all else, hit the dump button on this LP. :>

this is a band of white dudes right? enough said. and no, the caliber of these musicians, their sense of humor, or their experience visiting a carribean island make no difference in this context. also, to the racist commenter below. you got absolutely no right to say whether a black person or their lyrics are racist.

Anyone who has ever been to Jamaica understands these words and knows exactly what they mean. I've been there and done that. I fully understand your point of view and the comments you make. But you are wrong. I'll be in Jamaica again in two short weeks where I will again be met by unexpected dark voices wanting me to hear them out.What it means is very simple: I was walking down the street Concentratin' on truckin' right ---> he was most likely very high on the excellent local weed. He was trying to not look stoned. Tryin' not to be obvious.I heard a dark voice beside me And I looked round in a state of fright. --> it is so very, very, very common to be out for a walk on the beach or the street, minding your own business and you are suddenly approached by a local who has only one thing on his mind, he needs to sell you a little something, anything so he can have a little money. It happens endlessly and it can get annoying. Ask anyone who has actually been there. It simply happens all the time.You got to show some respect don't walk through my words Cause you ain't heard me out yet --> these beach and street salesmen demand that you let them make their pitch and they consider it quite rude of you if you don't let them make it. Again, very common.Historically Jamaica has many very poor people who when they see a rich foreigner they may see an opportunity to get a little something they can't get any other way. I can't and don't blame them one bit. Years ago I used to wear ripped and torn jeans and really worn out sneakers when I went down there so as not to be yet another apparently wealthy foreigner who has to show off his wealth. (I was actually poor at the time and Jamaica was a place I could barely afford) More than a few Jamaicans pulled me aside to mention my rags. They weren't angry. They were kind. I really like the people down there but it is what it is, or at least it was then. I believe the band has the greatest respect for the island and it's people. But I totally understand how those lyrics make you feel as you do. I think anyone who has been there understands this song and knows it's actually a celebration of a sweet place with good people. "Don't like Jamaica (oh no) I love it (ta)! It's a great place.

Perhaps you should become more familiar with this band, as mixing excellent instrumentation with comedic lyrics is one thing they're known for. This song is meant to be comedic, and is actually based on real experiences the band had in Barbados. I wouldn't call it racist. Plus, they did pretty much the same thing lyrically 3 albums before this one with the song "Une Nuit A Paris" which was, once again, based on real experiences. You should probably become more familiar with the band you're criticizing before you write a huge rant like this.
