Poslednja igra leptira - Decko hajde oladi
It is always difficult to watch this spot as Nesa, the male singer of the band, died of cancer just a couple of years (in 1990) after this was filmed. She, on the other hand, went on to join the much better established band Silver Wings (Srebrna Krila)…

I watched the first couple of Dems debates, then skipped most of them - too busy with work and stuff - then tuned in last night for the ABC/Facebook double-feature. Brief thoughts:
The GOP debate was surreal. A bunch of Grumpy Old White Men spewing nonsense and nobody called them on it (the same…

The first Eurovision contest that I remember, back in 1974:
Iznenada kobne noci te, 42, godine
Cinilo se kao da ce sneg
A stigao je rat
I vojnik neki tudj i strah
Mene majka moja rodi da sanjam o slobodi
U prvoj noci da cujem zveket
Da placem sa rukom na usnama
Moja generacija iz 42-ge
Dobro je…

Ja svoje loše dane volim gristi sam
Piti i lutati po krèmama
Al' èesto stignem samo do njenog pogleda.
Ena je divna žena, Ena dobro zna
Da takvi dani svrše s gužvama
Zato me zove sebi da bi mi pomogla.
Ja Ena nisam tvoj sin, zapamti to
To možeš raditi s njim
Za mene je veæ kasno.
Znam da…

I have come to the conclusion that the 22nd Amendment [limiting the presidency to two terms] was a mistake. Shouldn't the people have the right to vote for someone as many times as they want to vote for him?

YU Grupa - Crni leptir:
Ulicna svetiljka baca svetlost u krug
dok crni leptiri lete pravo na nju
ali ne znaju da tu je kraj
da ih ubija njene svetlosti sjaj
Nekad sam leteo leptir bio i ja
svetlost me mamila, krila mi sprzila
crni leptiru bezi u noc
jutro sacekaj svetlost ce doc'
