I've mentioned before that every Wednesday bands come and play in City Center during lunchtime. Today was a pretty good band that sounded like a sort of Punk/Ska/Reggae mix from what little I heard as I walked through.
They finished up their set with "No Woman No Cry" by Bob Marley and did a pretty good job of it. Yes they were white, but it worked. No slo-mo-Irwin happened on stage from what I saw.
What I did get to witness though were two obviously gay guys dancing along and enjoying the song a just little too much...

White people + reggae = funny!
Every Wednesday, City Center in Oakland, CA hosts a live band to play during lunch. Today it was a reggae band from San Francisco.
Reggae music makes you want to move.
White people can't dance.
Fortunately I was able to escape with just a few taps of the toe. Unfortunately there were several of my fair-skinned bretheren who fell victim and were ensnared by the rhythm. It reminded me of Steve Irwin dodging the attacks of a dangerous pit viper played back at about 1/4 speed.
I need to remember to bring my video camera on Wednesdays...
