Why Me?
Poor ould Linda. She's irrepressible. Like herpes, there's no cure and she refuses to go away. Linda has participated in the National Song Contest (A Song for Ireland, as Father Ted would put it) nine times. Oh yes, Linda graced our screens in as part of an act called Chips in '76, '77, '78, '82, each time defeated.
She won as a solo artist in '84, with Terminal 3 - a song that eventually came second to a song called Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley. A national travesty! Funnily enough, Dublin Airport still only has one terminal, something which is actually a national travesty!
She was back again in a song for Ireland in '86, '89, '90, and once again she qualified, finally, in 1992. In short, she's a Eurovision junkie. One could make up a rhyme about featuring the words Eurovision and skag, and then finding words to rhyme with it, but that would be naughty. Suffice to say, she's our Eurovision heroin(e).
She scored a massive high in 1992 with Why Me? It's believed that the withdrawel symptoms, when they eventually occur, will not be pleasant.
