sex and politics

You’ve probably already seen this, but…. Remember the year 2000? When our biggest worry was the millenium bug and where does Monica Lewinsky get her clothes drycleaned? When the main political news was Al Gore going for Tipper’s tonssils? When “watching the game, having a Bud” was a perferctly legitimate way to spend your time?

Well, thousands of billions of dolars, eight years, two wars, one drowned city, one Wall St. meltdown and one severely failed presidency later, things are just not the same on the other side of the Pond.

True.

Unless of course disaster happens.

Good morming ladies!

Remember The Poušters? I posted a video of them performing in Prešeren square in Ljubljana more than a year ago. But that is not to say that those kids are the only ones putting the statue of good ol’ Doctor Fig to good use. As I was making my way back to The Firm™ Thursday last, I noticed a group of men singing in English. And I don’t mean your usual my-club-is-better-than-your-club-and-I’ve-got-my-mates-to-prove-it kind of singing, but true chorus singing, the way it should be done.

Upon closer inspection, these gentlemen turned out to be members of VoiceMale, a community folk choir from Morpeth, Northumberland, UK. They gave a very nice performance, and - to tell you the truth - my day way better for it. Thank you, gentlemen! Especially Mr. Graham Stacy, with whom I did this short interview.

P.S.: Thanks to Alenka of Slovene Press Agency for kicking me in the butt and making me do the video.
