Brilliant. When you were sick of the flapping drivel that is big brother, you could switch to the Eurovision Song Contest. Such bloody choice, I was beside myself with glee.
Ireland entry was a song called "Every Song Is A Cry For Love" Sung And Composed By Brian "Whine" Kennedy.
Whine started off his stupid career doing background vocals on van Morrison albums. His contributions have been ridiculed endlessly since these albums have been released as they form a profoundly low nadir in Van's career, and that's some claim considering how awful some of Van's output has been (I let him away with it because he did record Veedon Fleece which is one of the greatest albums ever in my humble opinion) anyways if you want a good laugh, buy the Van Morrison biography "Can you hear the silence" by Clinton Heylen. The mauling he gives Whine Kennedy is chucklesome.
ANYWAYS I DIGRESS THERE IS A WEBSITE FOR THESE RANTS : JOTW
Every Song Is A Cry For Love. Firstly, No they are bloody well not.
Songs which are not a cry for love you dolt.
1. The Black Angels Death Song by the velvet underground : Its about, I dunno. It does empty a room fast tho.
2. Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin : It's about the Vikings coming in their bloody big ships with sharp swords to hack the natives.
3. Stabwound by Necrophagist : It's about stabwounds, and the drumming cannot be done by a human. It just can't. Seriously, they must use some sort of machine.
So aha! Whine Kennedy; you did not win.
The world hates ballads unless they are sung by airbrushed nymphs half your age.
Is the eurovision the last desperate attempt to revive an ailing career?
Is there no song, either written by others or yourself that can save your wobblethroat from the obscurity that beacons?
Goodbye and goodnight.
Lets all move to Finland.
