Question

how big a joke is this?

http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/05/queen_mandela.html

and should they hand back the money they got for playing Sun City

Answer 1

ah the vagaries of the music business, mind you i don't think that other people in politics, or business are any different.

One minute they deride you next they are your best pal, such is life.

Answer 2

Its all over now. Thats what Mandela said. Its history and thats why everyone likes him. There will be no witch hunt and I'm surprised that the Guardian should bring it up.

Answer 3

I thought for a minute that you meant Queen Elizabeth. don't know why Mandela is so highly thought of, just another terrorist like Mugabe but one who was not able to ruin a country.

Answer 4

Ah,the hypocrisy of money!
