    Great! Hilarious!

  • Speaking of that part of the world, I worry about the Gaza Strip, one of the most densely populated and impoverished places in the world. They only have electricity about half a day, and there are only 100 ventilators for 2 million people.

    That’s terrific. And it drives home how international this is — these singers have exactly the same obsessions and problems as the rest of us mere mortals from the UK to Canada to Argentina to Australia (but apparently not Austria).
