I’m a punk and metal guy at heart. I don’t really get modern pop music, because I’m 45 now and I’m not forming neural pathways while listening to it. But that’s fine, because it’s not for me.
Eurovision is, without a doubt, my favourite week of the year. I’ll watch the semis to pick out who I want to root for, and to jeer at the UK entry which, as a Brit, is my God-given right. I will also throw shade at France, for historical reasons. Come the Saturday, I’ll get a takeaway in, stock up on booze, and get shitfaced, posting along on Mastodon and having the time of life, before waking up on Sunday morning feeling like I’m dying.
And I’ll start the countdown again for next year.
And yeah, Israel can fuck all the way off with what they’ve done to it. And all the other things they’ve done.

So is it just the competition and spectacle you like?
If they were doing lawn bowls or woodcutting instead, it’d be the same, but I’d totally get into that because it’s so unnecessarily over the top.
There’s also a lot of creativity and fun that comes from it all. It’s positive vibes.
It’s the campest mass distributed show on Earth.
