Cool Runnings

Twenty-two years ago, the Jamaican Bobsled team demonstrated their pluck, determination and spirit at the 1988 Calgary Olympics. Pantomimed in the Disney film, Cool Runnings (a sad swan song for comedian/actor John Candy), it was still a feat to be reckoned with: a tropical island nation, daring to field a team to represent them in an improbable winter event. But, nothing is achieved without outrageous effort in outrageous circumstances, is there?

Bunny Wailer's song of the same name is a longtime favorite... from when he ruled a very different "dancehall".
