I like that the headline conveys the hysteria of the stars: that Israel is “occupied Palestine,” that they don’t believe Israel has a right to even exist.

A better argument: Why is Eurovision being held in Asia?

Remember “Jeus Sans Frontier?” (It sounded more like “She’s so POPular.”) Sounds like Peter isn’t playing with Moshe anymore, he’s helping Adolf build a bonfire.

Hans plays with Lotte, Lotte plays with Jane
Jane plays with Willi, Willi is happy again
Suki plays with Leo, Sacha plays with Britt
Adolf builds a bonfire, Enrico plays with it

He had a lot of talent writing and performing. Almost 40 years ago. Has been. That was a great song.

As for the stars mentioned:

Mike Leigh is a director, not a singer, so ??? Never heard of a single movie of his, except Vera Drake, notable only as a hagiography of an illegal abortion provider.

Miriam Margoyles played Professor Sprout (a minor character) in the Harry Potter movies. Also known for porn voiceover according to Wikipedia, and playing Dame Maggie Smith’s left eyeball on Family Guy.

Vivienne Westwood made clothes for the Sex Pistols.

Wolf Alice is an alt-rock band that peaked at #190 on the Billboard charts, but are somewhat more popular in the U.K. From the Wikipedia images, the lead singer went from looking like a winsome 22-year-old to looking 50 in the space of three years.

I wonder if there is a puppeteer who pull the strings of the leftist artists and make them dance the way they do? One thing is for sure it is all in unison... no questioning, no weighing the issues, no musing or speculation outside the box... just lock step adherence. Something pulls the mind down to this form of rigidity. I really don’t think these people are real anymore, they’re just projected to the public to convey an enviable reality. They are shells of their former selves. Peter Gabriel was brilliant risk taker in the initial band Genesis, but now he has burnt out his candle. He, as the line Blanch recites in A Streetcar Named Desire, has to rely on the benevolence of strangers. And the same goes with other artists who really are now just hanger-on-ers. The Fall from Grace and the promise of a return, is the biggest poison they swallowed and fear keeps them there. Fear. That is the puppeteer’s best tool.

Peter Gabriel had two albums of semi-Biblically themed music he wrote and borrowed, related to the film “The Last Temptation Of Christ”. One might have thought some of it rubbed off on him but, no. He has to play with his lefty pals, some of whom are muslims who would eventually like to cut his throat.

What? Roger Waters was too busy? Rest assured, he was hating Israel in spirit.

I think Wolf Alice is Super Wolf Blood Moon’s mom.

Miriam Margoyles also had a minor role in the second series of Blackadder.
