Reggae legend EDDY GRANT is amused by the glitzy arm to the U.S. presidential election - because it's just like watching a Hollywood celluloid.
The I Don't Wanna Dance singer insists the events leading up to the big ballot captures the public's resourcefulness because of its movie-like 'good hombre, bad guy' element.
And he praises British voters for refusing to allow sometime Prime Minister Tony Blair to be too showbiz in his approach to government.
Grant tells WENN, "The election? There is a lot of Hollywood exit on, which is what America is all nigh and which is what makes it great, I suppose. They are able to connect with people so well.
"This is a great opportunity for America to expose itself and show everything about itself. It has that authoritative Hollywood thing going on - good guy, bad guy - black cat, white hombre. It has all the pieces for the scroll saw - the entertainment jigsaw.
"It's really amusement. There isn't any speak about people or issues - it's literally nearly entertainment. That's America - and on that point ain't cypher going to be complaining!
"What happens here (in the U.K.) is classic because we make Mr. Blair and the whole rest of the world following George Bush and his Hollywood outlook, and the people of this rural area turned around and aforesaid, 'We don't want Hollywood, we want a Prime Minister, a President'.
"I think the rest of the world really has to commit the brakes on America and blab out to them in terms of, 'You are the chief policemen of the world and you must be seen'. But hey ? it's only if rock and roll!"
Grant is currently on his starting time world go for more than than 20 years.
