The Friday Link for 5/13/22

This week we start with the Eurovision Song Contest. This year's grand finale is set for tomorrow night.  I lived in Germany for four years and was stunned at how popular this contest is. This is a massive event in Europe every year.  

This first video is a look back at all the previous winners of the Eurovision contest.  Most people know the most popular band to ever win was ABBA, but Celine Dion shows up in the 1980s as well. And for some reason, Katrina and the Waves, a band with a massive hit in the 1980s with Walking on Sunshine, shows up in the 1990s.

The highlight in my opinion is the 1975 winner.  From The Netherlands, the band Teach-In does what could be the whitest song ever recorded.  It will turn you Mormon! 


Also tonight, I will throw in the exceptional opening sketch from Saturday Night Live, where they address Justice Alito turning to 13th Century rulings to determine his cutting edge modern take on overturning Roe V Wade. 


Have a wonderful weekend everyone.  Be safe.  Social Distance, wear a mask, and please get vaccinated.  The Pandemic is not over yet and the latest studies on the long-term effects are terrifying.  

Please be careful.
