Eurovision is appallingly bad. Mimed kitsch. The Anglo world pioneered modern popular music. Europe has no clue, with rare exceptions like Abba. I wonder if it’s the melting pot of immigration in the US, UK and Anglo territories that produced the magic there? /1 https://t.co/kyrfFC8fqc

Black music was fundamental to lifting those nations out of schamltzy kitsch. Eurovision reflects how Europe does everything - a battle of nations. Their football the same. That whole sovereignty thing has dominated their entire history. /2 https://t.co/fyC76ISPly

Maybe only forced mixture through immigration in nations that escaped European sovereign wars is powerful enough to generate something like a musical creole, that we experience as popular music there. /3

I’m guessing they’ll give the win to Ukraine, because again, for Europe it’s always about the fight for sovereignty. /end
