Why Europeans have the same dopey taste in music as us American dopes? You really have no excuses; you have better schools, more art appreciation, less capitalist expansion or dopey reality television, more readers of books, etc. I know the reason cannot be that the stuff is actually good, when I know that most new music is crap. People like Justin Timberfluke should never make a wave on that side of the pond. We had hope in you, oh nobe Europe, but you let us elitist Americans down. hehe. All you others say Hell Yea!!  | |

The answer is quite simple:
Young Europe wants to experience Americana. Don't ask me why, cuz I just don't know. Maybe it's cuz the US produces the best looking films and tv shows? I wonder what the kids are listening to in Japan? 
Prost! "Whatever skin we're in
we all need 2 b friends" |

It's not just music. Other countries are copying Americans' crappy eating habits too: http://prince.org/msg/100/250886 | |

isn't bob dylan american too?
Isn't Prince? Springsteen? it's a combo deal... the bad comes with the good. problem isn't a geographic or regional one...it's teens today. Never in the history of mankind has there been a generation so willingly fooled by hype, marketing and propaganda. Where-ever there are young people to be fooled that's where clear channel and Mtv are headin'. It was not in vain...it was in Minneapolis! | |

Why have you got such a subjective view 2freaky and what are you basing your judgment on? I will say this, Justin Timberlake's music is a hell of a lot more exciting than Prince's these days. There's Joy In Expatriation. | |

My main thesis is that Europeans have no excuses; at least we have intense propaganda we can say is manipulating us, plus the fact that all of our radio is reflexably right wing. Then there is fucking France, a progressive country and what do they do? They elect this idiot Sarkozy who wants to dismantle the health system and other basics of European mixed economies. I just don't get it.

Well, we never really bought into shit hop too much. Surely that counts for something. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”

The answer is, we've got 12 year olds just like you have. “The man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them, inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors.”
