If I were the boss

If I was the boss Id steal from the rich to give to the poor,
If I was the boss Id have roast butternut and potatoes for every meal
If I was the boss Id save the world by saving the cheerleader
If I was the boss things would be different.
Kids in schools would have their intelligence tested and developed for every kind of intelligence.
If I were the boss, I’d find the cure for aids, and solve the cholera problem; if I were the boss I’d do so many things.

But at the moment I’m not the boss, I’m just me. Best I could aim for is a secretary at most. But at least I’m aiming for something. If I were the secretary I would implement strategies that would empower poor people, I’d start educating the masses, I’d find the solution all the worlds problems, if I were the secretary.

If I were just me at most, hopefully in my lifetime Id contribute to world peace. I would like that, more than being the boss or the secretary. But If I were the boss, Id do so many things.

South African Bands Suck?

South African musicians who are biting the bullet of third world constraints, and making music out of the sheer passion to do so represent a culture of artists whom by action are refusing to let circumstance stop them from doing what they love.

 The result of this is an outbreak of talent, fresh new creative sound booming out of every genre from Rock Music to hip-hip, electro to psychedelic trance. The fact that all of this is being produced and supported primary by a South African audience is evident of the various subcultures of music existing and co-existing under the radar.

 The underground music scene in Cape Town alone is producing a combination of newborn music inspired and re-created in a sound, which is symbolic of the present state in which we are living. Outdoor festivals such as Rocking The Daisies, Ramfest. Earthdance, Origin Festival and various other outdoor events are our very own, and no other time in the past or the future will these happen again as they are happening now. Their line-ups will chop and change and artists will come and go as the years go, each one is symbolic of its year in South Africa.   

Perhaps it is time for more South Africans to start realizing what the local music industry has to offer them, and not by tuning into to the radio, or watching idols. Multimedia provides a golden platter filled with the fruits of our very own artist’s labor, and to taste them is as simple as stretching out an arm and picking a few which appeal to you.
