Definitely not anything I would’ve predicted.
…and by that, I mean, being completely ignorant of the larger world outside the U.S. and too lazy to double-check with a real map. Romania doesn’t share a border with Türkiye; the “Romania” on their map is actually Bulgaria. Romania is the next country to the north.
(Also, they can call the country east of Germany “Czechia” — “The Czech Republic” is technically correct, but so is “The French Republic,” and most people just say “France.”)
Here’s a correct map of Europe:
Of course, the title of winner for erroneous maps still goes to FOX News, who once put “Egypt” in Iraq’s location:

Lollapalooza 1991: Now THAT was a concert!
Wednesday, August 7, 1991: A sunny day at Toronto’s CNE Grandstand, and what a lineup:
- Butthole Surfers
- Siouxsie and the Banshees
- My first chance to see Nine Inch Nails
- Living Colour
- Ice-T and Body Count
- Rollins Band
- Jane’s Addiction
…and after the show, we continued the fun at a normally sad nightclub near the airport that had their “alt-rock” night on Wednesdays.
There was already a feeling that interesting things were happening in music. Big Audio Dynamite had put out their single Rush a couple of months prior…
…and we had no idea of the musical gems that were still forthcoming:
- Nirvana hadn’t yet released Nevermind,
- Pearl Jam hadn’t yet released Ten,
- Soundgarden hadn’t yet released Badmotorfinger,
- Red Hot Chili Peppers hadn’t yet released Blood Sugar Sex Magik,
- U2 hadn’t yet released Achtung Baby,
- Metallica hadn’t yet released Smell the Glove — but seriously, the black album (the one with Enter Sandman),
- Ministry hadn’t yet released Psalm 666,
- Public Enemy hadn’t yet released Apocalypse 1991…The Enemy Strikes Black (with the heavy metal version of Bring the Noize),
- 2 Unlimited hadn’t yet released Get Ready for This,
- A Tribe Called Quest hadn’t yet released The Low End Theory,
- Black Sheep hadn’t yet released A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing,
- 2Pac hadn’t yet released 2Pacalypse Now,
- Del tha Funkee Homosapien hadn’t yet released I Wish My Brother George Was Here…
…and I was a DJ at Crazy Go Nuts University back then. Great times!

Meanwhile, at the Saturday market…
I hope you get a chance to do what you love.
