RI villagers may listen to Americans perform their rock - but not perform it, nor support, by way of recordings held, other English folk so doing.

Know what? I've listened to far more English Rock than I ever have English folk and continue to do so. I'm reminded of an anecdote in which it fell to some Earnest Young Folkies to put English uber-traddy Peter Bellamy up after a gig. Arriving back at the flat they thought to impress him with their LPs of English Folk, but no sooner had the stylus hit the vinyl than Bellamy objects, insisting that they take it off forthwith and play some real music, like The Rolling Stones. I'm much the same actually - a lifetime immersed in British, German and French Rock Music (albeit of the Prog Variety); likewise British, Spanish, Italian (etc.) Early Classical Music (from Middle Ages to the Baroque), which, like Rock Music is truly Universal in its Myriad National Diversities.

Another day in the stocks for you, WAV - for spouting such inhumane and unrealistic fascistic crap. Anyone would think you enjoyed it...
