30 Apr 04 - 11:14 AM (#1175002) Subject: RE: BS: It's NOT Hull? From: Les from Hull I'm a bit bothered about why these 'capitals of the universe' are all in the USA. It seems a bit chauvinistic to say the least. 'Folk Music Capital of the USA' I have no problem with. Or 'Old Time American Folk Music Capital of the Universe'. But there are other folk musics in the world largely unknown in Arkansas. And there may be a planet somewhere out there with little green dudes playing some amazing Arcturan Mega-fiddle stuff. And another thing - how can you call your baseball games the 'World Series' if you won't let other countries join in? Don't you have advertising standards? Les from Hull (Baseball capital of England - no, seriously) |
