Fellow pan columnist Anthony D Blackman asks the following relevant questions this week, in face of the minister's position that "Panorama is killing pan," adding that: Tasteless calypso killing the carnival. Smutty ones killing it. People who don't know about pan killing it. People who don't like pan killing it.
Which category does this Minister of Culture of T&T fall into? However, this pit-bull attitude of the minister goes against the mantra of "serve the people, serve the people." Nuff said.
Get well wishes and thanks
The Buzz sends get well wishes to the Pouchet brothers (Edwin and Junior). Both men are under the weather these days. The Buzz also sends get well wishes this season to a fellow pan jumbie, namely Keith Smith, editor- at-large at the Trinidad Express. Despite playing "long time badjohn" and actually attending The Lydians' Misa Luba at Queen's Hall in a wheelchair, Smith has been fighting a valiant battle against cancer and diabetes. Thanks to all readers who enjoy the Buzz, and those who disagree with me. As we celebrate Christmas, I urge you to arrive alive and do things in moderation. Bless.
Until next week, keep loving up the pan.
