Sail to Jamaica with Ben Folds

Yeah, Mon! That piano playing white boy ain't no bumbaclot. He's mad irie. I guess. Wouldn't really have picked Ben Folds in a "guess an artist who'll be on a Jamaican cruise" contest. Does he have a big stoner fan contingent? Is it bad of me to so automatically think of marijuana when I think of Jamaica?
Enough speculation. On to the details: following in the footsteps of Barenaked Ladies and Lynyrd Skynyrd, Ben Folds will headline a musical cruise put together by the Sixthman organization. You've got plenty of time to plan if you're interested, as the cruise doesn't leave Miami until February 21 of next year. Between now and then, Folds will announce what other artists he'll bring along with him. Just hope nobody starts a fight on the ship like what broke out when Folds played with the Boston Pops a couple of weeks ago. Wouldn't want anyone to fall overboard.
