The Upsetters - 14 Dub Blackboard Jungle -
One of the first dub albums to surface from the mega watt depths deep inside Jamaica circa 74. Originally released in a batch of 300 LPs, now available at your finger tips remastered and restored. If you don't have this, do yourself a favor and jump into the abyss.

- Think Baja violence is confined to TJ? Yeah, I did too. I stopped 6 hours south in El Rosario for tacos last Friday, on Saturday there was a drive by shooting at the La Mijita loncheia. La Mijita is popular with locals and gringos and by all accounts was run by generous people. The targets were 3 'self employeed' area men, but the husband and wife owners were hit by stray bullets. The wife just passed away.

That seems kind of presumptuous and weird to me…
Don’t know why…
Maybe my Mexican heritage…
Don’t like the gringo interviewer…
Despite the seemingly innocuous inquiry.

i think it depends on the spot and the local surf culture around that spot. all spots are different, ones that have a larger influx of visitors with locals living close-by are the spots where gringos are less welcome. you can guess which ones those are.
Over all though, i think it’s all about the local surf culture and the gringo’s skill level and manners.
