Quality music

Tonight is evidently the final of the Eurovision music contest, which is sort of like American Idol meets the European football championships. Where else can you find such a combination of national pride and crappy music? As it turns out, the Swiss finalist, Vanilla Ninja (who we had a chance to see when we were in Zermatt), aren't even Swiss! They're Estonian. This seems a bit odd in light of the occasional Swiss resistance to all things foreign. I was going to get into the pride thing and say that the smart money was on Norway, until I looked at their blurb. I thought it had to be a joke, but nope, they seem to be real. As they say back in Minnesota, "uff da"...
