Comments on: Bono Recalls the Jamaica Mistaica Incident http://www.buffettworld.com/2009/09/16/bono-recalls-the-jamaica-mistaica-incident/ The Web's Largest Jimmy Buffett Resource Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:48:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Nikimu's Son http://www.buffettworld.com/2009/09/16/bono-recalls-the-jamaica-mistaica-incident/#comment-8786 Nikimu's Son Fri, 05 Nov 2010 20:30:15 +0000 http://www.buffettworld.com/?p=3433#comment-8786 Sadly there is now one less person to tell the truth in this matter. Mickey Hill, who was the pilot of the boat that met the Hemisphere Dancer in all of that gunfire, and took the passengers safely to shore, was killed by the Jamaican police Wednesday November 3rd 2010. Mickey was walking back to his property on Norman Manley Boulevard when the police shot him three times for reasons yet unknown. Mickey was a good friend, and my dad's best friend during his annual visits there. He will be missed. Sadly there is now one less person to tell the truth in this matter.

I actually met his pilot while diving the Caribbean. He said Buffet wasn't there, but wrote the song based on what happend. Who knows what the real truth is...but...Wiki is not a great source to cite as "authority" for a perceived truth... YO Gonzo…don’t believe everything you read.

Duh~ This was not the first time Buffett had been assumed to be carrying drugs. In January 1996 his Grumman HU-16 airplane nicknamed "Hemisphere Dancer" was shot at by Jamaican police who believed the craft to be smuggling marijuana. The aircraft sustained minimal damage. On board the plane with Buffett were U2's Bono, and Island Records producer Chris Blackwell, and co-pilot Bill Dindy. The Jamaican government acknowledged the mistake and apologized to Buffett who penned the song "Jamaica Mistaica" for his Banana Wind album based on the experience. Yo Ocean Dancer~
