ESC birthdays 17 Feb – Will you come with the speed of light?

Danny Devito

Vienna, it means nothing to me. OK, it did for a couple of weeks last May. The rain, the trekking across town to a cavernous Euroclub where you couldn’t find anyone. The whimsical signs at the pedestrian crossings. They were good times. And not those expensive Scandinavian prices. Isn’t it good to get away from Scandinavia? Oh, wait. Albania had an interesting draw, sandwiched between runners-up Russia and third place Italy. Some would say it was a good place, but Elhaida Dani’s 17th place said otherwise. Elhaida is 23 today.

Gëzuar ditëlindjen, Elhaida!
