When country legend & good bloke Slim Dusty died my colleagues & I watched the crowds outside the cathedral who were watching the funeral on a big screen. Among the crowd were what must have been a bluegrass trio in white shirts, cord ties (dunno it's proper name), jeans & 10-gallon hats! Not Akubras like Slim & other Oz singers & citizens wear, but huge American cowboy hats. I was immediately prejudiced against them on seeing those bloody un-Australian hats.
