Years ago, when I was at school in Kenya, my brother was at university in South Africa. He came home for Christmas one year with a 45rpm single, raving about a show called ‘ Wait a Minim’ which was as close as the anti-apartheid protesters dared to go without being deported. I saw the show back in England several years later, this is the offending song.
The old regime was incredibly sensitive to anything mildly subversive.
It was still popular when I was a boy in Kenya 🙂 Remember ‘The Lift Girl’s Lament?’ Ah, eskimo pie :_D
Very Good Guys,
He’s like a U rated Kevin Bloody Wilson.
Ooh just found this one too.
Caution, he’s a li’l bit blue is our Kevin.
Sorry, can’t find a tull for that!
My, how times have changed, where is Jeremy Taylor now I wonder Zen.
Hee Hee Zen,
Nope me neither 😉
Judging by that second JT song Val, somewhere around about the 4th floor. 🙂
Somewhere in Dorset, I think, Val.
🙂 ferret.
This was one of the first anti-racism songs ever written. In the USA, well into the 20th century, black people could be hanged for daring to be too successful or, if something happened, mobs of whites would find the first black man they could and punish him for it — even if he didn’t have a clue what was going on.
Watch out, Obama, you fit the bill!
Ha, ha, well done, Zen. Jeremy Taylor’s still around – does pubs and clubs these days
Ja we all grew up with that song, even today’s generation love it when it’s played (very occasionally) on the radio.
Didn’t realise that he was hounded out of SA by the Nats.
He was born 1937 (thanks wiki) make him 73 today.
We are all aging – disgracefully, I hope.
and here…
Sorry Zen; I will listen to your clip too, when kids are in bed…
