Feel The Rhythm
Tonight, is the night, that Brian Kennedy[1] proves once and for all that Ireland will no longer win at Eurovision. He’ll sing whatever it is he is going to sing[2] and the judges will point and laugh and we will not make it through the semi-finals tonight.
Oh yes, this is the week of European competition. Last night was the Champions League. Sat. sees the rugby. But sport is nothing when compared to the music of The Eurovision Song Contest!
And soon, you Americans might be lucky enough to be able to watch this wonderous show[3] wherein countries send their most gifted talents into battle. Determined to prove once and for all who has mastery of the “european music verse.” Armed only with gaudy costumes and terrible songs we[4] will watch as they fight to the death[5]
The Eurovision is one of those shows that I’m always made aware its on, like The Rose of Tralee but never watch it, I prefer to laugh at it, and it possible should have been retired to pasture a long while ago. But, people enjoy it. They watch and listen and enjoy. Not I. No. Never.[6]
