Eurovision is not Punk!

Finland tried to make the same trick as we did at 2006 when we made history by having the first ever hard rock song (by Lordi) to win the Eurovision song contest - and the first and so far (and many years to come) the only Finnish winner of the contest! This time we tried to do the trick with punk song - and that's not all, it was performed by a band called Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät - a band made up of members with learning disabilities.

BBC - among many other world media - wrote about them, link is here, and a photo by BBC below;

For their performance, check out Youube...

This time I don't have favorites, let's see how high will my interest be when the show kicks off at 10 pm Finnish time, that is 8pm UK time and 9 pm Brussels time - in about an hour!

Let the games begin!!!

Hyvää Äitienpäivää - Happy Mothers Day!

In Finland and some other countries on 2nd Sunday of May the mothers are in the flashlights. Traditionally children treat their mother on that day better than average, which is good. In principle.

I propose to all children - which all of us are as we all are from a mother - that we treat the mothers better than average 365 days a year!

Yes, it also rises the average which is the key point...

Go Mothers!!!

HYVÄÄ ÄITIENPÄIVÄÄ!
