Hence, to say that, "In America [query: did he intend to include Mexico and Canada?], no one has heard of the United Kingdom..." is an insult to a large portion of the U.S. population--who, I'm sure, have, indeed, heard of the United Kingdom. For what it's worth, when I was on a month-long concert tour in England, very few people knew where (or what) Michigan was... denise:^)
