ANDY NARELL was in NEW ORLEANS last night SHOWCASING PAN. Now everybody knows that I consider ANDY NARELL the GOD OF PAN. But at the same time I IS AH TRINI -- and I eh come on NO BOAT ...

[Claude Gonzales]

I IS AH REAL REAL TRINI -- A FAR-RIGHT NATIONALIST TRINI!!

That means as much as I LOVE ANDY NARELL and rate him so highly, I would love to see A TRINIDADIAN representing PAN GLOBALLY -- and this is not the FIRST TIME that I have broached THIS  TOPIC on THIS FORUM.

So I am appealing to MARCUS ASH and BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE and DOCTOR DOLLY to FOCUS on THIS MISSION.

I am willing to work with them (even BEVERLEY -- imagine me AGREEING TO WORK WITH BEVERLEY) to make them UNDERSTAND what  the requirements of a GLOBAL PAN STAR like ANDY and JONATHAN are!!! It eh easy to reach THE HEIGHTS dem FELLAHS reach -- but we could still compete because of the CULTURAL CAPITAL and ORIGINALITY and DISCOVERY and DIPLOMAT PASSPORT... that all fall in our FAVOUR.

TIME to move BEYOND EMOTION and FACE THE REALITY of what is required in GLOBAL PAN.

I will CONSULT for FREE -- just make a little contribution to the GUARDIAN NEEDIEST CASES FUND and I am good.

Years ago I came on THIS FORUM and called for a GLOBAL PAN STAR FROM TRINIDAD (get cussed out for THAT CALL, too)  -- but ah  STILL WAITING for a PAN STAR from meh MOTHER COUNTRY!!!
