Hi Ugu, I don't know - there's a lot to counter that assumption. My favorite music growing up was the Beatles, Yardbirds, the Hollies, the various bands of Eric Clapton, Led Zeppelin, all the Canadian folksingers, including Gordon Lightfoot, Buffy Sainte Marie and Joni (in her first incarnation), none of whom were U.S. artists. My favorite music in the world since I was 15 has been from Brazil. I think Americans who love music are very open and embracing of musicians and music from other countries.
Kakki > The issue of marketing music in America caught my attention. And I wander whether the pattern of American music lovers not patronising music from other countries is not typical of American lifestyle. Everything must be American standard or no deal. I feel the people should try out music from elsewhere for a change and better understanding of those cultures and lifestyle. > Ugu Nnamani
