Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You (Tonight)
So, unbeknownst to me before leaving, I seem to have arrived in Athens during the Eurovision Song Contest. Had I planned ahead a bit more, I would have tried to get tickets to see one of the shows.
Apparently analysis of who's going to win is a big passtime here in Europe, and I have to admit that it seems that the contestants have a bit more personality than those on American Idol.
Most amusing of all is the Finnish group which appears to be staging a Spinal Tap revival band. What else can you say about a band whose song is entitled Hard Rock Hallelujah?

They're the Finnish Gwar!
And did you get a load of Lithuania's entry? It takes balls to enter Eurovision with a song that goes "We are the winners of Eurovision!"
I don't even keep up with this contest - I just got YouTube links from a mailing list. But I think I might actually follow this in the future. Entertaining as hell!
