I am sorry Europe has had some decent artist, but America is where all the true music is made. Jimmie Hendrix, the Doors, Nirvana, Metallica, we created half of the music Genre’s out there, did europe give you Jazz or the Blues? did they even invent Rock? or Rap… bad example.
With all the real problems in the world we are all facing, it seems more childish then ever to focus on superficial things like uni-brows, perfect teeth, whether or not Americans or Brits have more talent, etc. Let’s see some of that passion now pointlessly embroiled in b.s. and direct it at the Darfur genocide, global warming, ending the war in the Middle East and the current economic crisis. The British and Americans are the most puerile people on the face of the earth.

Great article. I canˇŻt wait to hear more about your research tool. If it is as good as your other products, then you will have another winner. Your article pretty much summed up what I have been seeing too. Great to see some hard data.
