Sigh. I wont attempt a pastiche. For what its worth I hold American culture in the highest regard. Give me Gershwin over Elgar anyday, and , er... Scott Fizgerald over Somerset Maughan, James Elroy over PD James, Warhol over Hockney, Elvis over Cliff (!), Jack Nicholson over any limey luvvies, Sanborn over Mackay (sorry),... USA is a multi-cultural galaxy if not the great melting pot we'd like to see. Apologies to all Stateside friends if my last piece seemed snotty, ; That radio thing still makes my blood boil though.

It's a beautiful day--not to mention my birthday--and the party's not the same without you. And, with respect to US radio, don't despair. There are pockets of good listening and some interesting independent stations, so fire up your Real Audio and go exploring.

Everything centers around what the white trailer trash culture holds dear: Bill Clinton, Jerry Springer, professional wrestling (white trash opera) and Taco Bell.
