And we can thank England (and in particular, the Stones) for 'discovering' all these black artists in  the 60s who were ignored in USA.
Otherwise, we would be still listening to Pat Boone and Johnny Halliday..

Thanking the Brits. I would personally not go that far. 
You are too young to know.

RIP Sinéad O'Connor
She received an immense amount of grief over her protest, but it seems like she was spot on about the Catholic Church.
