It's ok , they paid back any debt a thousand times and more with the invention of rock music.

Led Zepplin was the start of anything vaguely Rock in sound

Elvis was some type of skiffle-boogie racket !

silly boy without the invention of the electric guitar, and Elvis and John Lee Hooker there would never have been a led zeppelin.

Peaceful protest against trump and his garbage , whats the problem.
Report lfc1971 September 27, 2017 11:54 PM BST
The problem is this , try that sort of nonsense in Russia and you will end up in the gulag.
You see it's right to respect someone such as Alexander Solzhenitsyn , that's a different thing entirely.

Exactly anxious. So many mugs over there who only like the constitution when it suits them eg 2nd amendment.

Oh land of Liberty sung to our/your national anthem. All you lot need to know is it's about us Yanks kicking your Limey asses LaughLaugh Oh yeah who let Corbyn's love child back on here ?????? Welcome back anxious Wink

The song the yanks play as "The Graduation Song" is actually Land of Hope and Glory by Elgar.

But can we complain? Look at God save the Queen? Everyone knows the writer, Lydon, has an Irish name.

Trump's inauguration revealed that America The Beautiful sounds like the Blackadder theme.

And there is a bit in the US National Anthem where the tune changes to We Wish You A Merry Christmas for a couple of lines before changing back.

Just as well it didn't sound a bit Beatlesy or the Gallagher bros would've lifted chunks for "Definitely Maybe".
