Maestro - Bionic Man (Anatomy of Soca)

This is one of two signature songs that have come to define the Maestro, particularly for those who are not deeply familiar with his music. The accident referred to in this song was a car crash in Port-of-Spain in 1975, on his way to perform. Like every calypsonian, Maestro took the accident and made a story - a song, out of it. While popular legend has it that this song was a prediction of his untimely death, we can be sure that this was never Maestro's intention.

Here are the facts that surround Bionic Man. Around the summer of 1976 Maestro was involved in a car crash in POS, where he was hospitalized for a period, maybe he got the idea for Bionic Man then. So with this information I will not honestly say that he prophesied his death. A prophesy to my understanding originates from nothing and when it happens it cannot be related to anything, one can relate Bionic Man to the car crash he had the year before!
