I Remember San Remo Differently. Friday.

Now, they even got this schmuck and war criminal there.  

Tens of thousands of Italians have signed a petition protesting Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky’s planned address at a Eurovision-style song contest. Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini told reporters that the event “should remain the festival of Italian song and nothing else.” The petition, which blames the Ukrainian conflict on NATO and on Kiev’s “brutal repression” of Russian-speakers in Donbass, has gained around 33,000 signatures, Reuters reported on Friday morning.

Yes, it used to be the festival of Italian song which we in USSR loved so much. 

Yes, they used to sing about happiness (Felicita). And you knew immediately that these were Italians singing (well, Romina was not exactly Italian). They shot the music video to this wonderful tune... in Leningrad. In six months after this magical San Remo 82, Azzuri will win World Cup 82, eliminating every single greatest national team in history against all odds resulting in... massive Felicita in Italy and among many millions of fans of Italy's national team. It was a magnificent year in Europe. It is Friday.
