As you may know, there’s a country that I have a love/hate relationship with. It’s because some out there in Eurovision land seem to lose any sense of reason and think this country should win every year.
In other news, it’s a big birthday for that powerhouse of Swedish music – Bert Gustav ‘Tommy’ Körberg. Not content with representing his country twice, 19 years apart, he’s a massive massive star of stage. And he’s a good pal of a certain Benny Andersson. In a fairly open contest in 1988, he finished 12th, but still managed a maximum of one country. Hard to think this was 30 years ago.
Tommy is 70 today.
Grattis på födelsedagen, Tommy!
