FIGHTING 4 THE SPOTLIGHT IN A TRIBUTE 2 BUGGA MINOT

The tribute to Sugar Minott

Little John is determined to finish the song even as Triston reaches 4 the mic.

Tragicomedy at its best. Theatre of the absurd. Let's borrow the dreaded Chat! Red X and plaster it over that segment. Can you imagine, grown men -- veterans in the business -- jostling for one microphone and even appearing to elbow off each other, while professing to be paying respect to the late 'Bugga' Minott.

We expected that Jimmy Riley, Triston Palmer, Little John, Tony Tuff and Bongo Herman would have all been on stage at the same time in a show of unity, singing some of Sugar's greatest hits, but not so. Jimmy Riley -- ever the dapper -- strolled on first, did a nursery rhyme song that Sugar hardly ever sang and exited. Then the best of the tribute came on in the form of an angelic-white attired Bongo Herman doing Mr DC. And after that, the tribute just descended.

Word is that the tribute cost a cool $400,000.00. Still don't know whether to laugh or cry.

They say u get older n wiser, they r certainly older but not behaving wiser. How can grown men be fighting, almost elbowing each other off the stage while giving tribute 2 a man who did so much 4 reggae music. Their behaviour was appalling considering this was a time 4 unity, 2 pay their respects, not 2 act like crabs in a barrel smh.
