Disturbia, Chris you are scaring me tonight

Disturbia, cuffing me with all your might

Disturbia, you ain’t what I use to what you like

Disturbia, disturbia

Rihanna needs to redo the song Disturbia and put herself and abuser hubby Chris Brown in it.

Maybe that is the duet they are thinking of doing together a Disturbia part 2.

It seems the whole world Oprah included, is disturbed by the fact that Rihanna has returned to the side of batterer boyfriend Chris “Bite muh” Brown.

It is discussed ad naseu

m on CNN’s Larry King every night

Previously abused show bizz personality Robin Givens has given advice, Dr Phil and all the American TV morning shows have been all shouting in tandem that Rihanna going back Chris beat up Brown was a bad idea.

And to add injury to insult now it is now reported that Rihanna is in the studio doing a song with Chris “Bust Ya face” Brown.

So while radio stations have been pulling Brown’s songs off the radio to support her, Rihanna is doing a song with the specimen, can you imagine that?

FYI to Rihanna believe it or not there are other men in the world to choose from, in fact research has shown they are billions of them. You need to stop this “Disturbia” path you are on before it’s too late. 

Besides Oprah says no, and if Oprah says no, you tell Chris beater boy Brown to go.

To finish this “Disturbia” Post I will humbly offer for consideration a lyric rewrite to Rihanna for the duet with “Chris “bust yuh ass” Brown.

Disturbia, Chris Brown you are doing shite

Disturbia, I am leaving your ass tonight

Disturbia, hitting this girl Rihanna aint right

Disturbia, disturbia

Brown was driving a vehicle with Robyn F. as the front passenger on an unknown street in Los Angeles. Robyn F. picked up Brown’s cellular phone and observed a three-page text message from a woman who Brown had a previous sexual relationship with.

“A verbal argument ensued and Brown pulled the vehicle over on an unknown street, reached over Robyn F. with his right hand, opened the car door and attempted to force her out. Brown was unable to force Robyn F. out of the vehicle because she was wearing a seat belt. When he could not force her to exit, he took his right hand and shoved her head against the passenger window of the vehicle, causing an approximate one-inch raised circular contusion.

“Robyn F. turned to face Brown and he punched her in the left eye with his right hand. He then drove away in the vehicle and continued to punch her in the face with his right hand while steering the vehicle with his left hand. The assault caused Robyn F.’s mouth to fill with blood and blood to splatter all over her clothing and the interior of the vehicle.

“Brown looked at Robyn F. and stated, ‘I’m going to beat the s–t out of you when we get home! You wait and see!’ ”

The detective said she then used her cell phone to call her personal assistant … who did not answer.

“Robyn F. pretended to talk to her and stated, ‘I’m on my way home. Make sure the police are there when I get there.’

Don’t Miss

“After Robyn F. faked the call, Brown looked at her and stated, ‘You just did the stupidest thing ever! Now I’m really going to kill you!’

“Brown resumed punching Robyn F. and she interlocked her fingers behind her head and brought her elbows forward to protect her face. She then bent over at the waist, placing her elbows and face near her lap in [an] attempt to protect her face and head from the barrage of punches being levied upon her by Brown.

“Brown continued to punch Robyn F. on her left arm and hand, causing her to suffer a contusion on her left triceps (sic) that was approximately two inches in diameter and numerous contusions on her left hand.

“Robyn F. then attempted to send a text message to her other personal assistant. Brown snatched the cellular telephone out of her hand and threw it out of the window onto an unknown street.

“Brown continued driving and Robyn F. observed his cellular telephone sitting in his lap. She picked up the cellular telephone with her left hand and before she could make a call he placed her in a head lock with his right hand and continued to drive the vehicle with his left hand.

“Brown pulled Robyn F. close to him and bit her on her left ear. She was able to feel the vehicle swerving from right to left as Brown sped away. He stopped the vehicle … and Robyn F. turned off the car, removed the key from the ignition and sat on it.

“Brown did not know what she did with the key and began punching her in the face and arms. He then placed her in a head lock positioning the front of her throat between his bicep and forearm. Brown began applying pressure to Robyn F.’s left and right carotid arteries, causing her to be unable to breathe and she began to lose consciousness.

“She reached up with her left hand and began attempting to gouge his eyes in an attempt to free herself. Brown bit her left ring and middle fingers and then released her. While Brown continued to punch her, she turned around and placed her back against the passenger door. She brought her knees to her chest, placed her feet against Brown’s body and began pushing him away. Brown continued to punch her on the legs and feet, causing several contusions.

“Robyn F. began screaming for help and Brown exited the vehicle and walked away. A resident in the neighborhood heard Robyn F.’s plea for help and called 911, causing a police response. An investigation was conducted and Robyn F. was issued a Domestic Violence Emergency Protective Order.”

Boyce Note;” Great now thats over, lets get married!”

The international media is rife with the word that Rihanna Fenty has reunited with alleged woman beater Chris Brown.

In my previous blog on this incident I asked if Chris Brown had eaten from the root of ignorance, I would now have to ask if he shared it with Rihanna.

An International media quote stated “Rihanna and Chris Brown are both back in the city where she was beaten to a bloody pulp just weeks ago” 

We also saw the extent of the beating Rihanna received in the police photo which since then circulated on the internet.

Its times like this that I realise that I don’t know what love is, if love is a partner who beats me viciously to a bloody pulp and because he calls and says “Happy Birthday” I pick up my ass and be back with them I probably will never know.

The fairy tale perception which is perpetuated by the media has been shattered, when you see Rihanna and Brown together now it represents a battered woman who is in a relationship with a vicious abusive man.

What is most concerning is the example it sets for young males who idolize Brown who will see the reconciliation as a sign its ok to “share some blows’ when it is needed to keep your woman in line. 

“If a bitch puts herself in a mans position then a bitch should get hit”

That’s just one of the many asinine comments to my previous Rihanna Chris blog where some are condoning and even applauding the beating.

What message does Rihanna returning to Brown send to the average woman in an abusive relationship who will now feel there is no choice but to stick with the stupid ass man.If a woman like Rihanna with her resources cant leave how can I?

Rihanna’s father says he will support her what ever decision she makes, frankly I find it hard to support people who do igrunce regardless of who you are. 

Some people call it foolish for Rihanna to go back, some are saying its love  the words that come to my mind I will not say as I cannot refer to a fellow Combermerian in that manner.

Lets hope for Rihanna’s sake she is right and she does not come to regret her decision, maybe in the fullest of time she will have a fairy tale ending, though in real life that rarely ever happens…

The Cottage Studios, a subsidiary of Good Vybz Inc launched the cd singles by the 2008 winners of the 6-12 Cherish Breedy and 13-20 Quinn Belgrave categories of the Richard Stoute Teen Talent at the Garrison Secondary School on Friday February 20, 2009 at a special extended assembly at 9:00 a.m., at the time of the launch at the school, all radio stations across Barbados were sent a copy of the songs to be played at 9:00 a.m.

During the 2008 RSTTC, Good Vybz Inc., provided material for give-a-ways, members of the management team attended all of the preliminaries, semis - the semi-finalists were showcased at the Ship Inn every Thursday night during the Strategy performances, leading up to their final performances to give the contestants exposure, in a quest to making them comfortable in preparation for their big night, as well as presenting Mr. Stoute at the finals with a cheque for the cost of the full package promised which served as their commitment to the sponsorship package offered. 

Quinn is a past student and Cherish is presently a student of that school.

The song “I’m The One“ which Cherish sings, was written by a Garrison Secondary School old scholar, Toni Norville and produced by Matthew “Fewwture’ Ashby, Shane Forrester and Lori Worrell at The Cottage Studios.

This was the first time such an event was held at the school and the Principal, Mr. Matthew Farley and Master of Ceremonies was extremely proud.

It must be noted that Malcolm X, Kareen Clarke, Daddy Mark, as well as writer of Cherish’s song Toni Norville were present at the launch which was a grand affair and very inspiring for the entire school students pas t and present and teachers alike, also present was the first principal Mr. Sealy and from the legal profession two of a long line of attorneys Junior - Allsopp and magistrates and Ian Weekes. Ministers Michael Lashley and Chris Sinckler also attended.

Quinn’s song  “ Wit’ Me “ was written and produced by the latest addition to the Good Vybz Inc, team Michael “B-Roca” Holder, and it also features Kirk Brown whose initiative, through his interest in culture generally, has been primarily responsible for this effort. 

Cherish Breedy also celebrated her 13th birthday on February 20th making her the youngest and first teen talent winner to be recorded at this age (12).

Merle Niles presented two photos of the performers. Cherish and Quinn to the school to launch the opening of a photo gallery and announced that these photos will are the first in a long line of photos to be given to the school of persons who excelled.

“The thoughtless theories of thirty thousand thespians” that’s a phrase I constantly repeat to myself, before any appearance whether it be radio television or a public speaking event. This was taught to me by the late Jeannette Layne Clark, the purpose was for me to practice pronouncing my “th’s” properly to correct the speaking fault most bajans are famous for…

I attended Jeannette’s “Speak for your self” course back in 2004 and because of the tutoring efforts of her and Sharon Marshall I started to pronounce my “th’s” correctly, so when you hear me on the radio saying three instead of tree, that is Jeannette’s teachings living on in my speech..

When you hear me speaking badly well you know that would not please Jeannette, she was known for calling up broadcasters and correcting them for their mangling of the English Language.

Jeannette was a woman who spoke her mind, back in December 1983 she said of Madd’s first yuletide release the song should be “thrown into the inner recesses of the nearest dust bin” even when she told you off she did so eloquently.

Which then led to Madd immortalizing her in our next release “Janet” which continues to get airplay all like now.

Jeannette was renowned for her proliferic writings, her weekly newspaper columns “Lick Mout Lou” and “Private line”.   Also the novel “A Villa in Paradise” and her hilarious comedy pieces “Okras in de stew” “Partners in profit” and the long running stage production “Pampalam”

I had the privilege of being directed by Jeannette in 30th anniversary Pampalam in 2007, which was the last one staged.

I was Ali Singh in the “Partners in Profit” piece for that year and I learnt a lot and enjoyed it immensely. Ali Singh got to ride a bicycle on stage every night that was bare fun.

Jeannette was brave enough to put the controversial Peter Boyce in her production which some people would not have dared to do. 

Also in that Pampalam were Marvo Manning, Merle Niles, Sade, Janice Perryman, Wendell Thomas Yolanda Holder, Eleanor Rice and Angela Weithers. 

The production was written, produced and directed by Jeanette.

At the end I got every body to sign the program for that year, but I missed getting Jeannette’s and drove around with the booklet for months intending to pass and get it signed… It’s too late now…

I sat with with Jeannette on the CBC Board on the one meeting she attended as Deputy Chairman before she resigned because of illness.

When I attended Jeannette’s funeral I made sure and pronounced my “th’s when I was singing the hymns, 

Jannette is gone but her excellence and legacy lives on

“The thoughtless theories of thirty thousand thespians”

If you desire to be a professional and “qualified” entertainer musician my buddy and associate Chris Harper has teamed up with the prestigious Berklee College of Music to offer barbadians an opportunity to be qualified.

Note use of the that word “qualified” that is something I find those of us in entertainment don’t pay enough attention to. Since no compulsory educational qualifications are needed to be an entertainer we can just say “I is an entertainer” and that’s it. Sometimes I read in the court pages an entertainer is charged for something and its someone that in all my 30 years in the business I have never seen them yet, but them pulling we down claiming to be part of our industry.

Thats why it would be good if it were mandatory that to be deemed an entertainer you needed some qualification, not only for that reason but because we have something to fall back on should times change.

That’s why its important to take advantage of this opportunity that Chris is offering us and I would like to publicly compliment Harper on his laudable efforts to uplift and educate the industry.

Over the past five years Berklee College of Music has partnered with Notes to Note Inc. to conduct the Barbados leg of their annual scholarship tour. This year the project has been strengthened and is an official project of the office of International Programs which will allow students to access more of the college’s resources through addition scholarships and financial aid.

 The scholarship office released the follow statement on the scholarship tour.

 ”Berklee travels the globe visiting over 40 cities annually seeking those talented musicians who we feel are an excellent match to the college.  By participating in a live audition and interview, applicants are considered for merit-based scholarships towards the full-time program or the Five Week Summer Performance Program.”

 The scholarships auditions will take place on Saturday 21^st February from 9:00am at the Barbados Community College.                 

Persons from Barbados and the region who wish to take part in the audition process need to complete the application for admission online at https://www.berklee.edu/apply/.

  On Thursday 19^th and Friday 20^{th of} February at the Barbados Community College at 5:00pm each day there will be a lecture on the admissions process and a pre-audition workshop respectively. These will be conducted by Vice-President of student affairs Steve Lipman and Professors John Pierce and John Marasco of the Berklee College of Music.

What could have possessed Chris Brown’s brain that he could think could raise his hand and hit our Bajan Superstar Combermere Queen Rihanna?

Hast he eaten from the root of ignorance, is he on drugs or is he just a dumb ass?

There we were looking for Rihanna to perform at the Grammys last night and to see her win some more awards and shout out “Barbados this one is for you” one more time.

Next thing we hear this morning how Chris Brown and Rihanna were driving on their way to Grammys got in an argument and Brown injured a Fenty in her face and turned himself into Police. As a result of the incident neither of them made it to the awards.

When you look at a superstar of the stature of Rihanna her face, her legs, her entire body is worth millions of dollars.Look at all the lucrative endorsements Rihanna is involved in, Clinique, Nike, JC Penny Jeans and you would see what Brown threatens when it crosses his little brain to hit her.  

Rihanna needs to set an example for all the females out there who have been hit by stupid ass men, press charges against Brown and leave his dumb chewing gum endorsement ass.  Rihanna is way bigger than Chris Brown and she doesn’t need to be associated to have him to help her career.

I already told my son I don’t want to hear him listening to Chris Brown music or watching his videos again, Chris Brown he needs to see Rihanna Fenty and dont see she, good!

Brown should now be Persona non grata  as it relates to him visiting Barbados in the future and if Rihanna doesn’t leave his ass, it’s going to be me and her or to bajanise it “me and she”!

Jason strikes again! And so does the remake syndrome

I see that on February 13th 2009, a remake of Friday 13th slashes its way on to our cinema screens, note it is not another sequel as the 13 others before but a remake of the original.

It seems to me that the Hollywood has reach the end of its creative cycle and is finding it increasingly hard to produce any thing new that is good, hence they are going back to the good old classics favorites we grew up with.

Evidence can be seen in the proliferation of remakes which are now being churned out by the tinsel town movie making machinery.

There are so many old movies and TV series that are being remade its amazing, Starsky and Hutch, Knight Rider, Battle Star Galactica, Beverley Hills 90210 and Charlie’s Angels.

They also remade Psycho, the avengers and Mission Impossible; of course some of these remakes were so bad the original should not have been touched at all. (Look what they did to Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho”)

Let’s not forget all the classic songs that are now being sampled and released to a new generation as though they are new.

What is the significance of this? Does this say that in this millennium Hollywood and indeed the world has peaked and reached the end of its creative cycle.

Let’s not forget the new installments of Rocky and Rambo, plus a Terminator 4 is now in production as you read and we have the Terminator TV series. 

The entertainment events of our past are now the highlights of our future.

I am sure there are quite a few more remakes you can add that I might have missed and like Arnold they are now promising …..

“I’ll be back”

Is this a man or a goat?

In light of the news story report of a goat being arrested for armed robbery in Nigeria    http://www.caribnnet.com/Weird-World/12423.html

I think its time we start looking at goats differently.

While they are some that might scoff at the thought at a man transforming himself into a goat as reported in the news, maybe we need to stop and laughing and think for a minute…

How do you know the goat you have in your yard is a real goat and not a man in disguise? 

 Some time ago Barbadian authorities were on the look out for missing Nigerians,  

Did any one notice our goat population seem to increase dramatically after that?

How do you even know the goats we have down here are not Nigerians who have transformed themselves because they don’t want to go back.

While Nigerians might have problems fitting among Barbadians because of their accents as goats they would have no problem.

You might have a woman and you think you are being horned but you can’t catch her with any one, think!!

Is there a goat living by her house?

You might need to go outside and have a conversation with it. Man to goat.

This is a possible man goat who shares horns

This Nigerian goat incident also has international implications, if a goat can commit an armed robbery it could possibly also engage in acts of terror.Don’t let its democratic easy going grass eating demeanor disarm you these animals are lethalIt’s only a matter of time before these

Furry beasts are recruited by El Qaeda to spreadTerror through out the world. If they are not being used already.

I believe an intense study of goats could reveal the answers to questions which we have long searched for, example where is Osama Bin Laden?

For years the United States have been trying to find Osama and have been unable to, is it possible they have been looking for a man when instead they should be looking for a goat?

Have you noticed that in photos Osama has a long beard much like a goat?

Dos’nt that beard look fairly goat like to you?

Now that President Obama has fully taken over this is a matter that should be bought to his attention.

When Obama spoke of “change” was he aware that men could also “change” into goats? Maybe he did!

With the coming of CSME and the possibility that not only Caribbean people but goats will be able to move freely from one territory to a next, we must watch to see what effect this has on our crime rate.

This should be brought to the attention of PM David Thompson as he is now spearheading CSME.It needs to be researched exactly what kind of “grass” the goats down here are into, they could be goats being used as drug mules. This should be brought to the attention of Police Commissioner Darwin Dottin who might not have knowledge of exactly how criminal savy goats have become.

Obviously what is said above would give you reason to be concerned, How can you tell if your goat is really a goat and not a man that change into a goat?

Follow the below instructions;

Grab your goat’s head with both hands!

Put your face right up to the goat’s, if it has trouble maintaining eye contact with you and is acting like it has something to hide, chances are its a man.  

Call the police immediately! 

Do not attempt to apprehend the goat yourself as they can be dangerous and have a tendency to “butt you out of their lives”. 

While a goat above might look innocent like a little kid, remember you can’t judge a goat by its picture,

This has been a public service goat announcement from PBoyce who assures you, he is NOT a goat…..

Women can also turn themselves into goats, and eat you out of house and grass, see above pic

Monday is the night I go to the movies, 8.30 pm the Globe Cinema is the choice of P Boyce.

My Face book friends often query this “strange” behavior “wha I see that movie weeks ago I coulda burn that for you” or  “you could have gone on www see movies free.com and watch that for free on your computer, why you wasting money?”

Well let me tell you why I leave home go to the movies, for the “entertainment experience”.

I enjoy the anticipation of simply “going to de theatre” looking forward to a night out.

I enjoy viewing the poster displayed outside the cinema promoting the movie which helps to heighten your anticipation of seeing the same film.

I look forward buying my theatre pop corn, hot dog and soda to snack on as I view the flick.

Then the cinema darkens and they pull the curtains the night’s entertainment begins with the “Coming Attractions” wetting your appetite for the flicks to come.

Sometimes the coming attractions are better than the movies them selves.

I love to sit back and view my movies on a big screen and I don’t tell me you got a 60 inch TV, I mean the massive cinema scope larger than life dimensions you get only in the theater.

I love my Dolby stereo and surround sound where the audio brings you into the movie.

It is a total escape, you don’t have your wife telling you the T.V to loud or your kids vex cause they want to use the computer.

You get away from your worries, bills and ringing phones, well if you turn your cell off.

It is the social interaction as you and the audience become as one, 

It is entertainment experience that I am after, stop home and view movie down loads on an 18 inch computer screen? I think not!
