Whatever changes this action brings, NPR’s commitment to reporting the news – without fear or favor – will never change.

I’m probably the 500th South African to point this out to the superlative @andrewhickey.500songs.com podcast, but Ricky Fataar/Blondie Chaplin’s group was The Flames, not The Flame. (Hope I didn’t mishear) Is it weird to be so happy that he’s mentioning SAfricans? Hugh Masakela has featured, too.

Donald Trump will never take kindly to anything contrary to the crap that lives in his head. ANYONE who apposes him will "Be fired". South African Ambassador Ibrahim Rasool took him on in his own backyard. NOONE does that to Trump. Rasool called him out on his BS and paid the price. Well done
