Many times you feel you are the bottom feeder in the family. Everything and everyone comes before you, and if you are a real man you accept the status quo since you need to see that everyone\u2019s needs are sorted.<br \/>\nThat\u2019s the most important thing, love, protect and provide. Mara sowaar, if there\u2019s one place and thing I am very selfish about it\u2019s my car and the music that I play in my car.<br \/>\nEkwalifokoli, they can sit in the car \u2018\u2019dikbek\u2019\u2019 while I drive&#8230; if I feel like listening to National Radio or Kosmos&#8230; is my storie. If my wife also feels like getting out, sy kan maar lekker stap&#8230; ka\u2019storie yandje, my kar is my kar!<br \/>\nSo as we were driving of course I was blasting music fit for a man in his late 40\u2019s&#8230; you know those CD\u2019s you buy at Musica\u2026 Three for N$ 100-00\u2026 that little ka\u2019hoekie your music genre is forced into that symbolizes you are coming to the end of your worth for your country and life.<br \/>\nI was playing an old Jonathan Butler album called \u201cLies\u201d. My son asked me from the side. \u201cDaddy who is that singing, nice song daddy&#8230; is he dead?\u201d<br \/>\nEk het amper my moer gestrip. \u201cNee, die man is nie dood nie, he\u2019s alive and well and still making good music gons!\u201d<br \/>\nOkay daddy, I am just asking because everyone that you listen to is always dead! Mukuru, as much as I hated what he was saying dis baie baie waar ook. I looked back as to who filled up all our lives with their talent, a legacy that we will live with forever.<br \/>\nMichael Jackson: King of pop, GOAT (Greatest of all time ) nuff said . If I say more it\u2019s over elaborating.<br \/>\nElvis Presley: King of Rock \u2018n Roll. This man died when I was a mere kid. As I grew older I fell in love with a lot of his music. Great voice. \u201cCan\u2019t help falling in love with you\u201d, killer of a song.<br \/>\nJackson Kaueujua: My first reference post &#8211; Independence of a Namibian artist, who can forget our most famous !gnubu !nubus. He remains our identity.<br \/>\nBles Bridges: Die Boere se o\u00eb word vol trane just by a mere mention of his name. \u201cLaat my lewe, laat my lief he\u201d. His songs remain a strong cultural heritage for Afrikaans music lovers.<br \/>\nJames Ingram: \u201cJust once \u2018\u2019\u2026 hoooo.die Kallits raak mal, this man had a voice&#8230; jy blues daai girl stukkend. We will never forget.<br \/>\nTupac: All these mumble rap k*k of today, sharrap please, no talent.<br \/>\nAaliyah: I still blast \u201cBack \u2018n Forth\u201d from my car now and then.<br \/>\nBrenda Fassie: Mabbrrr\u2026 Weekend Special will remain THAT SONG!<br \/>\nZak van Niekerk: He died a few years ago in a car accident, already so few Afrikaans recognized ones&#8230; eish.<br \/>\nLet\u2019s enjoy the talent of our artists, one day they will only live in our memory.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-265903\" src=\"https:\/\/informante.web.na\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Cycledelic728x90NEW.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"728\" height=\"90\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was driving with my 13-year-old son around town the other day.
