Watching "Come Clog Dancing" again last night, I was reminded of how proud most English were (and can again be) of English good at English culture; then, flicking over to "The Royal Variety Performance," I was reminded of how proud most modern English are of English good at non-native American culture - the "That" in "Take That."

Or, instead of the American pop she performed, imagine Cheryl Cole at "The English Republics Variety Performance" singing "The Snows They Melt The Soonest", with, perhaps, Kathryn Tickell doubling the melody on Northumbrian smallpipes...

We need a cultural revolution as much as China needs another cultural revolution - Lang Lang, e.g., is good at European music on the piano/Lang Lang's father is good at Chinese music on the erhu.

When people lose their own culture, society suffers, and the world becomes less-and-less multicultural; or in verse - http://walkaboutsverse.webs.com/#209

Thus, as I say, I hope the excellent "Come Clog Dancing" soon finds its way onto BBC 2, and a still wider audience.
