SoulFresh performing on Bernard beach
MONROVIA, Dec. 12— SoulFresh concert at the Bernard beach erupted into a melee Sunday night in which three spectators were injured and $5000 equipment damaged.  They had the numbers, but not the organization for a smooth and easy show. 

"The lack of discipline from supporting artists led to the disturbance.  Two artists, Takun J and Chiller Coolnanee, got on stage and performed longer than the time given.  Both artists were told to perform only two songs, but they performed 3 songs each, instead.  During Chiller Coolnanee performance, he was cut short, when he started singing the third song.  The artist got upset and started provoking his fans to react, asking if they wanted him to continue performing.  The fans got hyped up, throwing stones and bottles on stage, leading to the unfortunate eruptions." Edwin Tisdell

The Liberian entertainment industry is badly in need of structure, discipline and education.  We need discipline entertainers and managements.

What President Trump and Kim Jong Un Ate

The historic summit between President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un continued midday Tuesday, as the leaders satisfied their appetites while holding negotiations with a contingent of advisers over a working lunch. The lunch, which followed a 45-minute one-on-one meeting between the leaders earlier in the morning and bilateral discussion with senior aides, was held at the Capella Hotel on Singapore’s Sentosa Island.
