I am not a dumb patriotic redneck.
the influence american music has had on the world, particularly the UK is pretty big.
I think americans and Brits complement each other so well with music.
America gave the world jazz, the blues, hip hop and the English helped refine it and made the music better.
all the classic 60's rockers from Jagger to Clapton to pink Floyd to lez Zep cited the original African American blues artits as some their main influence comes from.
even the the rest of the world caught onto the Chicago House Scene/Acid house scene and made their own impression on the music.
groups like massive attack and unkle interpreted a different type of hip hope and created a while different genre of music.
