Yeah, I kinda pitty the US for that.
But, to be honest, one of the reasons why you guys were so good at progressive ideas was just that, no baggage, no history, it’s up to you to make your own… and you did manage to make great history to be honest, I mean, every modern music style decendes from jazz/blues. Not to mention the 60’s and rock, metal afterwards, I mean… the list is pretty extensive. And so many great movies have been produced in the US, one of my favorites to be honest. Nowadays, you’re not so much a force for progress, but last century was all yours regarding technology and art, no doubt there 👍.
Anyway, no, I live in a small country in the Balkans. You should probably visit the AMA I made today that was inspired by these questions 😂.
