Entertainment and Politics; Nation Newspaper Editorial

I previously quoted from it but today Boyce Voice invites you to take a read of the full Nation Newspaper editorial which speaks to the involvement of entertainment in the results of the this month’s general elections.

Entertainers participating in politics and endorsing candidates is not unique to Barbados, it has been an accepted norm for years internationally. Recently Oprah endorsed U.S candidate Obama and it is widely rumored that Frank Sinatra had a hand in the election of John F Kennedy to the Presidency of the United States back in the 60’s.

Speaking of the United States politics I just want to get this comment in, what do you feel is motivating Hilary Clinton to run for President of the United states? Do you think she has seen the perks that the position can bring as experienced by her husband?

If I was Bill I would be careful though, if Hilary were to become President and had to spend late nights at the Oral office I would never really be sure… oops sorry my bad, I meant OVAL office…

    Oops..big mistakes in the comment. Please forgive me! The corrections are here. Boy I wish I could pull it all back or you might remove it for me.

    DEM kNOw it’d BEE YES

    Dem tek the song and switch it
    Electorate made the DLP a hit
    Mekking fah sure the Bees kNOw too
    Kept the pressure on wid dem electoons debut
    Now once I heard the song I cud tell
    One refrain “Movin’ wid Owen” is Ronnie’s bell
    When the bell ring the tumbling got on the way
    I know the DLP was leading from that day
    The “Dem No” they sung but dem know
    ‘Dems out foxed the Bees from the get go
    Bees got eliminated in the polls throughout the campaign
    Everybody sensed their fear tactics and their pain
    Earlier this year we heard “De people cyahn tek nah more”
    Youts took the initiative and 9 cyahn return to the floor
    Entertainers reached the masses as they always do
    Singing fah social awareness and politics is nothing new
