I was thinking last night...will Ukraine be in a position to actually host on their own soil next year. It's surely very expensive and needs planning and funding. And there are so many other issues to consider.
Maybe some nice country can do it for them? Just wondering.
Wouldn't a better system of funding be all participating countries contribute an equal amount each year? It might even improve some of the songs as I think some countries want to be there but not actually win because of the costs that would involve.
nothing really to do with the q though nailit.
I liked ich's answer to the bono question on the thread about it the other day "zelensky asked and they went, good on them" (or words to that effect)
nailit - it was common in war times for entertainers to visit soldiers - its to lift their spirits and bring them news from home etc.
Bing Crosby etc was famous for doing it - I believe the late great Monroe did it too
