Yeah. I suppose it was expected that Dustin would get the nomination
to represent Ireland in the Euro-vision, seeing that its turned into
a novelty competition more so than a serious (hic) music contest, but
apart from that I feel its a reflection on the state of music in this
country in a weird sense. Anyway I`d rather listen to Dustins views
on the chances of Hilary taking on the song and dumping U2 in her
seemingly flagging campaign, and also how he feels that now that he
has made it into the history of modern Irish music.

Shall we reminisce in twenty or so years about Dustins exploits in
politics, and his efforts to save some rare specie of feathered foul
found in the uplands of Ballybrickenit (just south of Mulinavat).
Will we all attend the unveiling of the bronze statue to Sir Dustin
that will be erected in the Liberties in his honour by his ageing
fans in recognition of his unending battle to legalise the use of
Paxo in roll your own ciggies as an alternative to Maryjane, (and she
is still coming after you)la la la la la.

By the by, ye are all gone very quite on this forum, and if a turkey
is the best new talent in Irish popular music, sure then I can`t
blame you.

But on a serious note (b7 or maybe e7, both popular in blues), since
the break up of the USSR, and the creation of new states, has anyone
noticed that these States take the Euro song contest a bit more
seriously than we do, (lousey grammar on that), have the Irish
gotten a bit too big in their musical boots now. Are we just turning
out rubbish, and expect a turkey to be a major player in the creation
of classic tunes etc etc etc...... ?

Any views on this scattered scripture of irregular meanings are
welcome.

(Paxo is a popular brand of turkey stuffing, sold dry, and was found
at times to be potent in a Rizzla, after a Mamas Boys gig in Sir
Henrys in Cork, back in the good old days)
