<< in the clips I saw on the news the people were playing Afghan music, which, to them, is the good stuff. Ethnocentrism is a slippery slope. >>
Oh, I totally agree, Fred...what John (My friend) was referring to was the Joni Mitchells and Beatles vs. the BAD American pop music (I won't name names so as not to incite a riot.) I in no way meant to infer that Afghani music was inferior, not that I've heard any, but in case you can't tell I love music from ALL OVER, as long as it's 'the good stuff"! ;~) Bob
