An ordinary legend, finding Sugar Man

[Hector van der Walt] The dramatic red curtain opening of Rodriquez concert at the Grand West Arena on 9 February revealed a Spartan stage and a frail but familiar looking figure centre stage.

Made To Fly Met

[Jordan Scott] This is the 36th year that J&B has sponsored The Met. The theme "Made To Fly" was actually based around the idea of "Made To Succeed", which J&B felt they have done over and over again. The race used to be run on Green Point common; British soldiers attached to the Cape Garrison would race and the ladies in all their attire would watch and cheer them on. Although not British, the jockeys of the 2013 Met are certainly soldiers and many ladies were in their very best - and the cheering was mind-blowing. 6 Feb 2013 09:54

Tarantino at his best

[Charles Siboto] When a Quentin Tarantino movie hits the big screen we all pay attention. People like me get wildly excited and forget to wear pants to the cinema. Other folks throw their hands in the air in disdain at the amount of blood that will be spilled on-screen and worry about the direction in which our society is headed. Add American slavery to the mix and you have Spike Lee refusing to see the film. 4 Feb 2013 10:42
