Well, here's the deal. Most Americans can't imagine the whole gory thing in all it's glory, but Eurovision is so awful that it catches you, like a car accident or Reno911...since past winners besides these guys in Lordi have included Celine Dion, Abba and the Riverdance ( which I saw on Eurovision in 1995 and was stunned because the piece had actual musical value and the dancers could dance...) I suspect that if this follows the regular pattern of jumping back from the edge ( from Stephen Colbert to Rich Little, for example, in an equally bougeois setting), then this year's winner will be some pigtailed, blonde Swiss girl. In a drindle. Singing to sheep...
By the way, at one point in a moment of madness, Crispin Sartwell, the comic genius behind Eye of the Storm linked here, made the mistake of giving me guest privileges in his blog. I don't contribute much, but when I do, it's usually by accident. Crispin paid his way through philosophy graduate school writing rock lyrics, and he links things like Blind Willie McTell on his site. By accident, an earlier version of this got posted there...that'll teach 'em, by Tiff. Not sure what, but...
Awwww! They didn't do the batwing thing and guitar fireworks!
