The Twentieth Winter Olympic Games are now on. In Torino, Italia - aka Turin. Watched the opening ceremony on the TV last night, and you've got to hand it to the Europeans, when you want weird abstract ceremonies, they deliver the gold every time LOL.
And the seventies soundtrack to the athletes march past - actually it was a pretty good move, because we are far enough removed from the horrors of disco for it to be happy bouncy inoffensive background nowadays.
And you can put as much weird futuristic ballet crap in there, or a Renaissance or baroque garden party, as long as you get the Ferrari in there and Pavarotti singing Nessum Dorma, it will be fine by me. And how many guest stars did they have in the programme last night, Yoko Ono, Peter Gabriel, Susan Sarandon, Sophia Loren, Eva Herzovina - geez, anyone would think that the Olympics were important or something :)
Now, the people of the world will do our best to suspend our disbelief about drug cheats and the lack of a real Olympic truce and do our best to enjoy the sports. My eyes will be primarily focussed on the ice hockey, but will see whether there is an Eddie the Eagle story this time around.
