Brainwashed? Maybe so but, at the same time, I can't think of another word that quite describes a society that has gone through two Red Scares and still lives in the shadow of McCarthyism; the...

Ha, here lies the rub. It seems America can spread and promote its own "political ideology" not to mention its 'economic ideology' throughout the world but it's wrong for anyone else? Can't it be...

I'm not sure how that's relevant. I'm not claiming to be an authority on American 'culture' or know more about America than Americans. You're confusing two separate issues here. Whilst I may not know...

I don't see the problem here. There's no hypocrisy on my part and there certainly would be hypocrisy if I 'pissed on America' and expounded something positive about "Merry Ol' England" at the same...

My take on nationalism is that too often it crosses a line.
I think it's one thing to have pride in a very selective perception of something as arbitrary as the circumstances of your birth but...

I'm old enough to agree with the idea that 'alternative' just meant anything that wasn't mainstream and covered a whole range of music. I find the way that people try and talk about 'alternative' as...

Personally, I have similar feelings about the 'White Album' as I do Sgt Pepper. I think it's a good album but I genuinely can't understand the praise it gets. I'm in agreement with our crazy-haired...

Wasn't that the 7" version? If memory serves, that came first and the album came later. If tgpo is talking about 'Give Me Convenience or...'s' version of 'California Uber Alles' then "remaking their...

A few of the tracks on Sgt Pepper have a love or hate ‘sponsored by Marmite’ quality to them, and quite often these are the misty-eyed nostalgia pieces. However, it’s not...
