Dustin was a super star in Ireland! He's had six Number 1 hit

Well... I have never voted in any of the public votes to select
our Euroweirdo entry and never will. I might have been tempted
to vote for PiL last year if John Lydon could still sing. But

I don't vote for anyone on Eurovision night either. If I'm at
home and it's on I just laugh at all the odd-balls prancing
around like peacocks and watch the carnage as the various
countries announce their votes and settle old scores with their
politically motivated decisions!
