'It's time for #Eurovision to stop pretending it's apolitical' #TheLastMixtape #musicchannel #music #musicians #FreePalestine https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=IP7tFUEL4Oc&pp=ugUEEgJlbg%3D%3D

I want to talk a little about the impact that songs can have on the world, in ways that go way beyond what the original singers may have intended.I will ask that you hear me out, as the song I want to talk about is a #Eurovision song, but I am talking about one in the 1974 contest. This was held in Brighton, and it was the contest that was won by ABBA, with Waterloo.But that is not the song that I want to talk about today. Today, I want to talk about Portugal’s entry into the contest, E Depois de Adeus, composed by José Calvário with lyrics by José Niza, and sung by Paulo de Carvalho.You can listen to it here: https://youtu.be/97-W9A5qWgI

@dallo Ah gut. Fast hätte ich vergessen, den Schwachsinn auszufiltern. Danke!

RE: https://mstdn.ca/@dbattistella/116443083167609359It’s a tough year, boycotting both #Eurovision and my absolute favorite event, the #FIFAWorldCup. But principles matter.

@CTHW how do you figure that?

#Israel’s public broadcaster KAN, which participates in #Eurovision, has repeatedly justified and incited the genocide of Palestinian. Last month it featured a ghoulish video of Israeli children singing “we will annihilate them all [Palestinians in #Gaza].” This is who the European Broadcasting Union, and all the artists who perform in Eurovision, are choosing to stand alongside.The United Kingdom and no other country should have any dealings with this bastardy until they are kicked out.
