Music:Music Commentary
We discuss the culture's complex and changing perceptions of Vanilla Ice, a rapper who there are lots of reasons to dislike, but maybe everyone's being a little too mean? His real story will suprise you. Will it make you like him more? Well.... No....
Then we talk about "gangway", a word which somehow we all intuitively know is kind of nautical and piratey, but where are we even encountering this word? In cartoons? In one extraordinarily popular rap song?
And's what's with "gang"? Where did this word come from?
Also other nautical idioms which we don't realize are nautical!
For Eurovision, we talk about Malta's 2023 offering "Dance (Our Own Party)" by The Busker. And we discuss some REALLY GOOD Maltese sayings, such at "the heat that farts".
