From: alanabit This post has only a tenuous connection to music, as the subject is Ireland's contribution to that annual orgy of bad taste and mediocrity, which is known as the Eurovision Song Contest. I came across the story of Dustin here. Here's a clip of Dustin in action. |

06 Feb 08 - 09:01 PM (#2255542) Subject: RE: Dustin to the Rescue? From: Fergie Talking of the protection of wild birds, Dustin won't be the first wild bird we sent to Europe. There is a long list of them, remember Dana? she was some wild bird. And whilst I'm here Alanabit, please don't disparage artistic merit. Here in Ireland (de Dubbalin part of it ann-i-way) we regard Dustin as a culchural eye-con and his artistic merit is b-yond question or debate. Dustin for tee-shock!!!! Go on ye gud ting. and a big by-the-way to. MartinRyan my message to him is Chookie urlar. Fergus |
