Keep it Clean, Macy

Interesting (and refreshing) to note that singer-actress Macy Gray (who's been kinda quiet radio wise since her big hits "I try" and "Move Somethin" almost 10 years ago) will be part of the lineup for Shaggy's big Bustamante CHildren's Hospital benefit, come January 3.
However, the unititiated should be prepared for the unexpected - and even the unsavoury. Two years ago, our friend Macy ran afoul of the Barbados authorities (not to mention festival orgnaizer Gilbert Rowe) atthe Barbados Jazz festival following an expletive laced (in particular, the tem m-f**er) skit near the ned of her otherwise engaging show.
The prognosis right now for a 'clean performance is mixed. gray tunred her attention to social activism with the macy Gray Music Academy in 2005, providing performance opportunities for underprivileged kids. (yay!!!)
On the downside, her latest musical incarnation is a character called Nemesis Jazson, under which moniker hert latest single is "Slap A Bitch"

You have been warned :-)
