LOL. That makes sense. I wouldn’t appreciate that association either.

As an Aussie who has lived here in the States for more than half my life, I was thinking the same. Of course, there’s a huge slice of the citizenry who wouldn’t appreciate that moniker.

But also many millions of folks outside the country who do refer to U.S. Americans this way. 😎

Amazing! I got to see some great shows in that area at Cat’s Cradle, too, including Spiritualized. Is that where you went?

So glad I got to see REM too – with Wilco opening no less. Almost put both. Never got to see The Clash. 😞

Impossible exercise btw as I love live music and wouldn’t even try to choose the 5 best but 5 I know I loved (most more than once) and for their variety.
