Non-U.S hipsterism generally....

[Ph. Barnard]

All of this talk about non-US bands reminds me that last night on CNN 
I saw live footage of a Serb band playing one of those anti-NATO 
rallies in downtown Belgrade.

It made me think of Jon Weisberger because the band's idea of 
postmodern (or at least postmetal) irony and political commentary was 
to do a note-for-note cover of Deep Purple, "Smoke On the Water".

It was that kind of P2 moment that would be difficult to explain to 
outsiders g.

On a Saturday night in 1974 I went to the Rainham Working 
Mens Club with a friend and his parents for a buncha pints 
and was floored when the singer onstage followed a 
perfectly inflected Johnny Cash number with a "Thanks very 
much" spoken in the widest East London accent you can 
imagine. 
It was a revelation and then some.
