DJ is self-absorbed

More than any other daily newspaper, The Herald should be commended for its 
consistent coverage of Haiti. It reports on more than just the political 
situation, balancing hard news with features. But the Aug. 2 front-page story 
This DJ is tuned to different vibe wasn't worth the paper it was printed on.

The self-proclaimed ''Haitian hillbilly'' represents no one but himself, while 
thousands of Haitians valiantly working to improve conditions in their war-torn 
country go unrecognized. To feature a man who prides himself on idiosyncrasies 
that are, at best, questionable is a slap to the millions of Haitians suffering 
Haiti's upheavals and working to build a better life for themselves and their 
country.
