That's probably why you enjoy being manipulated and lied to by your politicians. I understand.

USA, Canada / The proper behavior an American should show when visiting Poland [115]


See, and that's another American character trait that people abroad really "love"... :)


Our white Neanderthals are following their distant ancestors and go the way of the dodo, so who will fill the void? Europeans are not coming anymore, which leaves us with Asians and Latin Americans. People you don't want.

USA, Canada / The proper behavior an American should show when visiting Poland [115]

I know quite a few Americans of Asian descent and also many expats. They all talk about an increasing number of incidents that happen even here in one of the most diverse parts of the country. Too many Neanderthals have been emboldened by Trump, that's unfortunately a fact. You are right though with his failure to address immigration (not talking about the wall here).

USA, Canada / The proper behavior an American should show when visiting Poland [115]


That stupid smile you get from waiters. Many Americans do the same thing abroad, and if they are not grinning, they are loud and obnoxious and believe that everyone they meet is their friend. See, that's a stereotype, but it's also largely true for our fellow citizens that travel. There's a reason why the French in Paris hate our guts, why the Dutch and Germans think Americans are stupid, why the Italians laugh about our "culture", ... you name it. If you want to tell me that is different in Poland then you simply lie.


When was the last time a Trump follower told you to go home to where you came from, my little loudmouth from the Indian subcontinent? You might need your miles soon, better save them.

Thanks. Sounds more like a pop version of the Dire Straits than the Stranglers or TRB, though. When was the song released? Not in the 80s, I assume.

What you call "normal" is often considered weird in Europe. Just take the ever present smile in American faces. Do that in Poland, Germany, or any other central European country, and they will think you're a few fries short of a Happy Meal.

Punk is a diverse genre. Patti Smith Group, The Stranglers or Tom Robinson Band on one end of the spectrum, Sex Pistols, The Damned or U.K. Subs on the other. May I ask which one you didn't like? I guess the U.K. Subs style, because Dezerter borrowed from them quite a bit.


I had a backstage pass for Deep Purple Mark II (with Gillan and Glover), if that answers your question ... ;)

That's not how the East German government sold it to their people. It was called the "Antifaschistischer Friedenswall" (the anti-fascist wall of freedom). Cool name. How should we call the future Polish wall?

Svann sounds like the Polish version of the Pretenders. When I look at the drummer, it doesn't go together with the music and the singer. Kinda strange. Totentanz is German slang for "Boring/ nothing going on". Interesting that a Polish band picks such a name. Again, that band sounds like a copy of another famous American lineup, Pearl Jam. Just a little softer. Too mainstream for my personal taste, but technically good.


LOL! Top of the Pops 1633. I like Pomme. She has a nice voice.

I do. Guess why I posted a few jazz and jazz rock videos already... :)
Ending up with jazz and blues is a "natural" development in my eyes. After going through different phases in musical taste, most people end up appreciating the raw basics.

The song by Zbigniew Namyslowski that you posted sounds a lot like the Crusaders "Live at the Roxy (1974)" ( youtube.com/watch?v=2K53XYBlVKA ). Check it out, it's a really good album.

Here's another Polish jazz band:

"Reality Dream" ... nice one. I like it.

"Perfect" is a little too soft and mainstream for my personal taste, but the singer is quite good as Doug already said.
