“

From the moment that Aisha took to the stage, for Latvia, in the first semifinal, with a hostage-to-fortune special called “What For?,” I settled down to enjoy a vintage year:

I’ve asked my Uncle Joe
But he can’t speak
Why does the wind still blow?
And blood still leaks?
So many questions now
With no reply
What for do people live until they die?

That is a good question. And even better was Aisha’s answer:

Only Mr. God knows why
(But) His phone today is out of range.
