Subject: RE: '5000 Morris Dancers'
A musicologist may drop by, IB, and confirm that pop evolved from American religious music; and rock from American blues and country, etc. But, yes, they are certainly globalised forms now - as are many American ways. That's why I've often put globalisation/Americanisation. Elbow just won the Mercury Prize, by the way - the lead man talking with an English accent but singing with an American one.
PR - 1: Economic/capitalist immigrants (from now on, i.e.) but NOT genuine asylum seekers to which England is their nearest safe country, etc. 2: self explanatory from answer #1.
