"Not to typecast, but some Euros do feel a sense of cultural superiority to Americans. And to everything else that isn't Euro."
yeah, but then all you have to do is turn on the radio and listen to their music. Techno pop is practically indistinguishable from disco, and Europe is chock full of discotheques. ick, thats something Americans can definitely look down our noses at Europeans for.
Here's something that may or may not be interesting:
Highly artistic people come from all over the world to this little town to participate in a fairly high cultural level of art happenings. Sometimes we get a compliment like this one from a highly cultured, cosmopolitan Euro--'I have been regularly attending community events such as this everywhere, and you are as good as any.' That was about a community chamber orchestra, but we have some decent local rock bands, bluegrass, blues, jazz, and various ethnic style bands, too.
The point, I guess, is that not all Euros are so provincial as the author of the article.
