Stereotypes That Are True

How are you feeling ? 

Americans: Awesome! 

Mainland Europeans: Good. 

Scots: Not bad. 

Scandinavians: I'm well, thank you. Although you seem to have gained weight since we last met, and are still with that awful girlfriend.

The Specials - Stereotype

Long ago I worked in Dublin.  While there I went to see Madness perform at the Olympic Ballroom. The band were high in the UK charts, previously with My Girl, and then Night Boat to Cairo.  To say that they and the audience were fueled up that night is an understatement.  Best gig of my life. 

I did eventually see most of the other bands of 2-Tone, and ska, but not the Specials.

Here's their performance of Stereotype from about that time. I'd love to have been there.
