DISRUPTION:
Disturbance, disordering, disarrangement, interference, upset, upsetting, unsettling, confusion confusing.
What says I love you like innovation?
PAN, sister. Why not?
Can it be that words we latch on to our experience become our experience?
How about consequence, result, aftermath, outcome, effect, upshot, issue?
Can disturbance or problems interrupt our fave event or activity?
What could interrupt the 2019 Panorama results?
Is it true that disruptors often need lots of time to make real impact?
Should PTbago consider ramifications that could send chills up the spine and upset the coconut cart?
Upset PANISTS, arrangers and Lords of the Bands?
And the outcome: How to dispel one’s feeling of dejection?
How to ensure disruptions don’t deflect planning involved in the run-up to the festival results?
Could it happen, Consequence? To overthrow and to cut off a reasonable predictable conclusion?
Considering the annual drawn-out tantana that is akin to a love scene on the Big screen, tell us why it doesn’t deserve a kiss on the cheek, but moreso a slap in the face?
What, a Hollywood-style Drama in the Rama?
The potential torture of a Panorama band?
Must we investigate Jack and Jill behind the Hill?
C’omon, man, why is it necessary to hollow out the results, well into the Jouvert dew?
Let’s get it on. We’re adults already.
And, boy do we know the drill.
