An American Backpacking through Eurovision History

Imagine that you grew up in the United States, a country with just one failed attempt at a major song contest.  Now imagine that you discovered the Eurovision Song Contest, and that it opened your eyes to a world of culture that you never knew existed.  Or, more accurately, a world of culture that you never knew existed by name, but its influence was all around you.

 

This is my story of learning about and watching every Eurovision Song Contest.  You know, except for 1956 and 1964, because the tapes vanished.
