The first 20 seconds of this video make me so happy. That Dan Akroyd was a maniac.
It reminds me of what I was thinking, as I watched the Ladyboys of Bangkok do their show in Edinburgh. The program relied heavily on American music - except for a few Scottish folk tunes and The Proclaimers "I Will Walk 5,000 Miles." What I thought was, where would the world's pop culture be without African-American influences?
It isn't until you get out of the USA that you realize just how much we rely on Black culture here for our sense of style and cool.
