"Just a couple of observations:
Pete & the Stones sneak some country & western stuff in here and there. And 
didn't Keith have a thing for surfer music (Beach Boys) scene? And on the 
tour 2000, Roger insisted on singing Johnny Cash stuff whenever he could."

Definitely.  American, American, American.
Hey, I don't think I'm just being an arrogant Yank here.  Well, maybe a 
little :-)

The Brits definitely incoroprated their own ideas and moved rock forward by 
leaps and bounds.  At the core it was always American.  It still is.

BTW, Bruce is cool.  He's not Pete or Dylan but he's pretty cool 
nonetheless.  "Darkness on the Edge of Town" was *nearly* as important to me 
as Quad when I was trying to find my way through puberty.  Of course, I 
never listen to Springsteen nowadays.
