The other Brazil: Shlock TV, phoney Berlusconi and stripping pianists
mainThere are two things you will notice immediately about the attached video.
1. The TV host who strips the pianist looks like a post-surgical upgrade of Silvio Berlusconi.
2. The piano hasn’t been tuned, which hardly matters since the pianist is so poor.
My version of hell is being locked in media Brazil.
Watch (don’t if you’re feeling sensitive) here.
Oh, the pianist? She’s big in Russia, too.
She’s spectacular! Did you say something about her playing the piano?
Is that a microphone coming “up” out of his jacket or is he just overly excited about her performance?
I see great potential there. I will gladly teach her to play. Yowsa!
The TV host is Silvio Santos. One of the most legendary personalities in Brazil:
