Ian Estwick Terminated
The Entertainment Industry is celebrating! albeit cautiously. The cultural grapevine has been rife with the word that Ian Estwick has been terminated as CEO of the National Cultural Foundation.
Halleluiah! Praise the Lord! Calypsonians are happy. Dancers are happy. NCF workers are happy and Boyce Voice is happy too.
As you can see from our Boyce Voice poll, Estwick has not been faring too well either. A massive 68 % of voters said a resounding no to Estwick being CEO. A small misguided and probably bribed 14% said yes, 7 % were unsure and 11 % didn’t care.
I would like to thank you all for participating and curse the 18% who voted unsure and didn’t care, u should have voted no! Unsure my foot, if you find me to be bias you are right, I am Peter Boyce not Peter Wickham!
I have sent the results of this poll along with my analysis to our new Prime Minister David Thompson for his perusal but from what I am hearing it might not be needed.
Let’s just hope that the news is true and that Ian Estwick - who has been the worst CEO who ever presided over the National Cultural Foundation - has had his rule of cultural tyranny brought to an end.
The opinions expressed in this blog are not necessarily those of management, its just the Voice of the Boyce.
If during the reading of this blog there is any thing I might have written which might have incensed or offended you, GET OVER IT! There are many things I read and hear in the media on a daily basis that I don't like either. SO DEAL WITH IT! You are welcome to leave your comments though. Make sure and come back yuh hear !!!...

The calypsonian is one of the most powerful individuals in our society and regrettably, they are not treated like this. They bring lots of the social problems to the fore and open debate on issues that would otherwise go unnoticed. All ages get to hear their messages far more than would read the papers, listen to the radio or even watch TV. Any mechanism that doesn’t see it fit to award the calypsonians for the role they played is disruptive to societal growth.
Terminated
Tons of calypsonians were crying out for this
Estwick being terminated is a calypsonian’s bliss
Reactions are the same wherever you go
Many are happy that Estwick no longer runs the show
I for one questioned our country’s progress
Noticed its cultural confusion and chaotic mess
And wondered what our culture has grown to be
The emphasis on wukkin up and a big street party
Early calypsos address social molding
Days of Estwick’s anarchy are gone, better days are coming
