A Special Signing


Ska fans all over the world get to que up for an autograph that is rankin' higher than Roger. If you are a true Ska fan then you know who Neville Staple is. If you don't...Neville Staple from The Specials has his book out and you can find out for yourself by getting a copy.

It's probably like no other story you've heard or read about. For one, when you see the 2 tone checker symbol, what do you really think of? Do you think about chess? Nascar? Or do you think about heavy racial tension in the streets of English towns like Coventry, Birmingham and London? Where Rude boys clashed with skinheads over the right to simply exist in peace. Forming the Specials was a statement that a lot of people tend to over look. It was saying that " WE WILL NOT BE ANYTHING BUT UNITED, PROUD PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF RACE RELIGION OR COLOR "
Along with the music, that is the foundation under the mighty history of the Specials. Now take a look at that checkerboard symbol...
It's all in his book, I'm sure. As well as other interesting tid bits of information.
Hats off to Neville Staple of the Specials!
Original Rude Boy!
Respect!
