BUT DERE'S A TING wid Peter Boyce and de MADDmen, doh. Heh, hey! After all o' dese years too. De fellas feel real hurted, too. When I see PC Broomes pun TV talkin' bout why duh split up, I could see de hurt in he face. An' Peter look like iffin' he age a lot dese pas' few weeks. I tell yuh, life funny.

Wuh hit me too is dat while Cohobblopot did ram off, I hear yuh coulda run bout 100 rats tru de Gymnasium fuh Boyce an' dem show, Euphoria.

I hope Boyce tek some time out to do some hard tinkin. When it come to promotion yuh can' touch he, so yuh could expec' he to come back wid a bang nex' year. You mark my words. Peter Boyce en nuhbody to lie down an' play dead!

To me, dis Crop-Over did bout learnin' lessons. Some people learn an' some mek it plain dem need to learn.
De firs' lesson dat get learn is dat yuh shouldn' over-price yuhself an dat yuh should wake up an' tek a real look at de market. People talk bout hummuch Machel get pay but yuh could see wuh he bring to de table.

Even so, doh, tell de trut', I feel dat
$60 000 is nuff to pay fuh one ack in a festival. Ting, I feel dat when yuh could pay summuch money to one man, superstar dat he is, yuh could sweeten de pot li'l more fuh local artistes, at leas' local artistes dat don' got nuh unrealistic view o' wuh dem worth.

Lissen, I was so glad to report las' week how proud I was o' de Hypa Dawg fuh how he tek he placing at de Party Monarch. I shoulda know better.

Ting, de man get on like he mek heself at Cohobblopot. It look like he feel he got a duty to be a bad boy an' cah long heself scruffy whenever he see a big crowd. He din' rehearse fuh de Welcome To Rihanna show an' went an' ask people wey he award. He shoulda ask heself wey he Grammy!

Now at Cohobblopot he complain some people get 105 minutes an' he only get five. He en nuh Machel, much as
I like he! But dah en' de wors'! De man went long an' say don' min' he en win Party Monarch, he is still de "hypest" an' dat he more popular dan de Prime Minister. I hear he repeat de las' statement a few times pun Spring Garden Kadooment Day. He clearly en lookin' fuh nuh work from dis Guvment.

I hope he management, Pyramid Entertainment, sit he down an' tell he some home truths fas', fas', fas'. Dah young woman Santia Bradshaw dat does run Pyramid is a woman wid she head on an' I feel she should tell Hypa dawg dat duh had entertainers before he an' duh gine got entertainers after he.

Wunnuh know I like de Dawg, but he movin' wrong.

Yuh see, I don' feel Hypa Dawg know who all o' he fans is. It en jus' de bashy people, ting. I know women in duh 60s dat don' leh Hypa Dawg programme miss dem pun a Sarduh. He need to remembuh dat. An' I dun wid dat.
