PLEASE, PLEASE NO MORE DAYS. No, I am not calling for the end of time – I’ll explain my plea shortly – but first, let us see what’s happening in the musical charts.
Radio Nose has it on good authority that Mzansi’s Umshini Wami crooner, who goes by the hip-hop name Gupta’s Homie, is set to release a collaboration with 1970s British rock band, The Clash. They are said to be in the studio working diligently on a remake of the band’s hit “Should I Stay or Should I Go”.
Gupta’s Homie is reported to have chosen the song not only because it expresses his current emotional state but includes the line “If I stay there will be trouble, if I go it will be double”.
Adding musical excitement to this release is that it will go head-to-head with another remake already released, by a band called, Umzansi People. Not to be confused with the Village People.
Umzansi People are enjoying incredible support for their rendition of Ray Charles’s classic hit “Hit the Road Jack”.
And hold on there, nosey ones, don’t touch that dial; just when we think we have heard it all, another hit has hit the airwaves. A band called Malema and the Fighters has just released a remake of Martha Vendelas’s, “Dancing in the Streets”. The group says it’s a celebration of their recent album release titled “Stop the SONA”.
Yes the hits keep coming and who knows what releases we can expect by the end of this Month of Cupid. You heard it here on Radio Nose.

Everybody Drinks Corona
I am hesitant to go Into the pub today. Not because it’s illegal, but there is a crème colored 1985 Mercedes 300D parked behind the pine tree. This means the devil is inside; that’s what we call Dr. De Villiers. You don’t know whether you will encounter the good doctor with the charming bedside manner or the violent, bipolar bully. The problem is, most of the time, you can never be sure which it is, so it’s best to always keep a social distance.

Bush school – A memoir
OUR SCHOOL WAS IN THE MIDDLE of the bush, ten miles from the nearest town in the harsh beauty of the Zimbabwean highveld. It started life in World War II as No 26 EFTS Guinea Fowl, a Royal Air Force elementary flying training school and I arrived there in 1954, just seven years after it became an all-white co-ed state boarding school.
