There was a time when I was on top of current affairs - I could hold my own in a conversation - be it Magabe, Malema or Manto related. Then I was able to tell you the number one hit on the top 10, 20 or 40 hit parade. The former courtesy of a car aerial and Cape Talk the latter Five FM - aerial thieving bastard. These days I’m left to my own thoughts and listening to the voices in my head (who by the way are tone deaf and cannot carry a tune)… it would appear the radio is dead.
