The Well is reggae-inspired hard hitting dance music. Since their birth in 2000, they have been part of Bostons rapidly growing music scene. The Wells debut album, O.N.V. (2003), features members of John Browns Body and State Radio. Vocalist Jimmy Trapella captivates audiences with his charismatic presence and his lyrics enlighten people with positivity. The musics driving force is the drum and bass. This, combined with melodies ..s and guitar, knits the whole band together. The Well has shared the stage with bands such as The Slip, Gregory Isaacs, and Burning Spear. They have also performed live numerous times on 88.9FM WERS Emerson College Radio and are frequently featured on their premier reggae program Rockers. They were winners of Emersons 2004 Live Music Week competition. The Wells extensive touring of the northeast has been greeted with an overwhelming response. Their second "Progress" album is finished and has been received with great enthusiasm!!!
" The Well will help you exorcise all your demons. They have what it takes to rock the dance floor and sing your blues away." - Brad Barr (The Slip)---

Maybe you don't think this is a big deal-I mean the economy is in turmoil, people are losing money, times are hard, right?
Well, Privatized prisons are doing just fine. See how Corrections Corporation of America (the largest private prion corporation) saw a profit increase of over 13% in 2008.
Please take the time to educate yourself, your family, your friends. The life you save could be yours or theirs.
It's my body, right? Wouldn't it be better to spend a fraction of this money on education and treatment, than to lock good people away in cages for crimes against themselves?
Wikipedia says=="A private prison, jail, or detention center is a place in which individuals are physically confined or interned for profit."
so far this year: 1,893,086 Arrests for drug law offenses 831,064 just for Cannabis over $50,787,842,000 spent total (federal and state spending) 1:10am PST December 31, 2008
In 2009, I will strive to do more to educate others on benefits of ending the Prison Industrial Complex and the War on personal freedom. I hope you will join with me.
Happy New Year, may we all know Peace, Love, and Ganja Goodness, forever and ever, DANK Momma Glo
