He`s already had one! On MTV Europe at least. Not that I watch it or anything... Does MTV USA have a show "The Chill Out Zone"? Europe does. It`s slightly ambient, they play one or two videos from the 3 LUX 3 video (ie Sven Vath etc) but it`s usually just mellow music like Tricky ("Aftermath") and stuff. Oh and I`m surprised no-one`s responded to that post about the US being a naive, benevolent and exploited nation,so I think I will. The US caused the world recession by getting involved so heavily in Kuwait. The US record industry dominates the charts across Europe, and American TV shows are all over the place too. And you talk about cultural imperialism! Your jibe about our "democratic" government was out of place: we don`t even have a codified constitution yet we are actually more democratic than the USA (in that there is a larger electoral turnout, less apathy, more than two realistic political parties, less KKK members in power etc) whose supposedly liberal constitution has turned out to be nothing but windy lies in the mouths of politicians.
