Young Bull is on fire in 2011! From the first note of BullFrog, BullSheep, you are jumping out of your chair. Well, I hope everyone does. But I have that snicking suspicion that some people will turn to a different station or a different song. Why? Because the song is “against” the person that they are supporting.
Well, I want to remind all those folks that we have to appreciate the calypsos for what they are. Calypso has always been said to be the voice of the
little man – the people. The voice of society! So I encourage everyone to enjoy the calypso for the beat, the pep, the way the words are put together, and also appreciate Young Bull in full cry – Bull Crap, Bull Whip, Bull Sheep!
I would encourage all judges to judge based on the song. Let us all leave all political sides alone. Enjoy the calypsos and the reveling. I am reminded by people in the know that Scrunter was always hitting Ma Mo hard and heavy; but her favorite calypsonian was, you guessed it, De Scrunter. If you getting some blows during carnival, please remember that Calypsonians are the voice of the little man.
