He actually played that saxophone part in the track, but you're not allowed to play instruments on stage in Eurovision. The violinist isn't playing either.

yeah but the PS2-era GTA games used x and circle as the brake and gas which did not give you fine control over your throttle, it is only since GTA4 that the triggers worked as your throttle which was the joke and now I have explained the joke too much so it is funny now.

BURY ME AS I LIVED, A FREE MAN ON THE CLUTCH

Slugnoid posted:

Car thief caught with his pants down.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VaexS3tKYk

My local liquor store has an awesome pants down story.

A kid decided he'd try to rob them after hours but didn't have a tool to break their front window. He tried kicking and throwing rocks to no avail. He goes to the dumpster and finds the small Weber grill that the owner had thrown away. He tries to break the front glass with the grill and covers himself in ashes as the owner hadn't bother to empty it of the ash. As the glass is laminated, he wasn't able to break in and the glass remained intact.

In the interim, neighbors had called the cops who rolled up quiet. The kid sees them, ditches the grill and makes a break for it through a residential neighborhood. Well, he figured that the cops would be able to identify him as his clothes were covered with ash. He starts trying to run and take his clothes off at the same time. It didn't occur to him to take his shoes off first so he got his pants stuck around his ankles.

He was found by the cops with his pants around his ankles, covered in ash, no shirt, and hiding in the bushes in front of a different neighbors house.

I wish there was footage of it.

I have no clue. In 1999, the organizers said that venues were no longer required to hire orchestras for the competition, and no one hired orchestras anymore to save money. A few years later, they declared that all instrumentation must be provided on a backing track, but I don't know why.

This sounds plausible:

quote:

What you can’t do live is play your instruments. That comes as a shock to many people watching at home when I mention that on the ESC Insight commentary tracks, but this has practical reasons. With only thirty seconds between acts to do a full stage change, there’s barely enough time to get the props on and off the stage. While radio microphones can be set to the right levels beforehand, it’s impossible to set up drums, guitars, and anything else. Trust me, I’ve seen the best of the best doing switchovers at SXSW and it takes at least fifteen minutes. Maybe with a Live Aid style revolving stage a thirty second chance could work, but at Eurovision it’s not going to happen.
from here.

As for how it is now, at least.

And before 1999, the choice had been between backing track and the live house orchestra for a long time. And before that it had to be the orchestra. It was never "yeah bring your own poo poo, whatever". Maybe not so suitable for the sort of music people want to bring nowadays anyway, which can be very heavy on production.

Plus you exclude the possible whining about how someone was cheated out of their points because the orchestra sucked at performing their song specifically. Maybe?

I'm not that familiar with how US traffic laws work, but if it's anything like it is here, I'm guessing the driver fleeing turns it from a minor infraction to something much bigger?

Eh. Depends on a bunch of things. Usually it just adds the 'fleeing the scene of an accident' charge on there, but it also can be a sign of bad faith. Often drunk drivers will flee because the charge added on is less than the drunk driving charges. Of course if you're a celebrity and nobody really got hurt, it doesn't really affect anything.

In Illinois it turns into "Hit and Run". If anyone was was injured in any way it becomes "Felony Hit and Run".
