BIRTHDAY: Nana Mouskouri representing Luxembourg is 85 today False flagger alert! If you’re offended by people from one country singing for another, you may wish to look away. But there is a very good reason today. Today’s false flagger’s own country didn’t début for another 11 years. That […]
BIRTHDAY: Margo representing Luxembourg is 58 today I know you love a song that crosses the boundaries of our different tastes, and is something that can do no wrong. Today must fit that bill if any song can. It has almost everything. Three songwriters, of which two are […]

BIRTHDAY: David Alexandre Winter from Luxembourg is 76 today It’s good to remember our history. You know, those times before 2000 when the contest still happened, even if it was a little bit smaller and, generally, more western than it is now. In 1970 it was much much […]
