The sprinkle sistas muse over the Keith Richard’s doco, Under the Influence. No, not under the influence of alcohol and drugs, we know what you’re thinking, but the musical influences which shaped, and continue to shape this one-of-a-kind legend. Blues and reggae continue to be a lifelong passion, and Keith’s past lifestyle choices have not dulled his love for the artists, nor the ever present gli...

This week we fall into the bewildering minefield (and mind f***) of the government authorised 13 year house arrest and mental torture of Britney Spears and the conservatorship which has us both scratching our heads as to how it was allowed to continue for so long, by someone she should have been able to trust implicitly, her own father. We lighten it up as best as we could, with our regular segmen...
