A strange show... during the pre-recorded interview with Nasio Fontaine, a caller rang to abuse express his disgust. An older sounding man, with a slight South African accent, he told me to "go and get fucked" for putting on that "whinging black bastard". I hung up, but he rang me back and ranted something else before he himself hung up. After the interview, I went into Nasio's "Ras Tafari" track, before speaking about the interview, and the racist caller. I was obviously not happy, so I decided to bun fire pon the wicked! Out came the Sizzla tunes, aimed straight at the racist's head, and I didn't hide the fact... I kept the heat on with Max Romeo, making all wicked man "Melt Away", and then went into some "Dub Fire" from Aswad. And guess what? The caller rang back... and apologised! I asked him if he was serious, and he said he was dead serious about what he said, but he felt he should apologise. I still don't know what to make of it all, but it seems that the power of reggae music had some effect... To cap things off, I went into a nice tune by Dana V - "Brotherly Love". Chanting Down Babylon everytime!
