“Why cannot we be honest about ourselves, why can’t we say Shadow you were wronged by the judges, wronged by those who never appreciated the artiste in you or the inspirational content in your music? Wronged by those who gave you a Hummingbird Silver when you are worthy of an ORTT,” said Carmona, who called for the two-time Road March winner to be given the country’s highest honour.
Trinidadians LOVE DEATH and FUNERALS and they especially love their LOCAL ARTISTES when they DIE!!
Now I always thought that I was the only one aggrieved by this HYPOCRISY. But this morning I went down to the bottom of this article and read the comments -- and, LORD, ah feel ah little better now. Because it actually have a few other TRINIS who doh wear rose-coloured glasses!!!
Jacob: Time too "Shut up" and go away, Did you ever invite the man to your cottage ? and enjoyed his company, while having dinner with the best wine and a good smoke. Now ,he is no more, They showering beautiful words!
Timothy Issac: Only when people died ,,,all political comments emerge from the blues, the man was a pauper,if proper medication was given and follower up treatment in private hospital thing might have been different, not in port of spain general or south hospital.
Xavier ST: Luckily for true lovers of the kaiso artform, doctorates and national award are not necessary for us to appreciate an enjoy the contribution of people like the Mighty Shadow.
Mary Jones: Why he did not recommend him for ORTT while in Office?????
