POPSits baacckk..eurovision i have a confession....we have a little get together each year and watch this... Italy has not participated in the contest since 1997 because of the lack of interest from RAI and from the Italians themselves...picture 1958 - Domenico Modugno and Nel blu, dipinto di blu (Volare) - in the US, where it has become commonly known as Volare, and got two Grammy Awards. It is one of few Eurovision songs that has reached #1 at the US singles charts. At the 50th anniversary show "Congratulations" in 2005, it was elected the 2nd best Eurovision entry ever.

In fire-and-brimstone sermons priests have slammed the "satanic" New Ageists and fulminated against their idols.

Witness the blend of past, present and future styling in this recent CRC custom:

POPSDeath of the Pink Flamingo Union Products, the company that has been making plastic Pink Flamingos as lawn ornaments since 1957, stopped production of the kitsch icon a few months ago, and is closing its doors today. This was a year before the Flamingo's 50th Birthday.
