Thank you Wilson for this reminder of our cultural history. My pen-name comes from one of his songs; Ulhas did a radio program on Sundays (6:30-7 PM I think) and one story that remained in my oral memory is the arrival of the naked hippies in the late 60s. And he recited the words of "naagdo petaro, sheetan glelolo......". I think this subtle change (1968 and the arrival of the first hippies) was best put to words by Buyao!
In my view, he was a thinker who summed up the feelings of folks who grew up during the transation in the 60s........the generation of late Norman Dantes, Lionel M etc.........who grew up not wanting to be Indian, who grew up proud of our identity, who grew up to be Goan first! Some of the strong feelings were fueled by the uncertainty of the opinion poll, the United Goan party, Goa-selection (or Goa XI)!
