Dear ABS

Dear ABS. The other day I was over to Babel's Bullets, Bait, Bar and Bistro putting the moves on Babel - she looks like one of the few women in Fussels Corner who bathes on a semi regular basis -when she stopped me dead in my tracks with this question:


"OK, Hot Shot. If'n'ya can answer this question I will go Wild Hog Hunting with ya. You prolly remember The British Invasion Era - when all of them damn Rock'n'Roll bands from England came over to America with their long hair and bad teeth and they done stole the hearts of all the young girls - buncha sluts if'n'a ask Ol' Babel - and became famous and made scads of dough in the song game.


How's come there was no French invasion Buster?"


Please ABS help me to understand this cultural thingy so I can get Babel alone with me deep in the woods on a four wheeler.


huge fan of yours who is Flummoxed in Fussels Corner, Florida.


Dear Flummoxed in Fussels Corner.


Well, you came to the right place. ABS is a rarity in that he is a specialist in the area of cross-cultural stuff and such.


ABS could really bend your ears and exhaust your eyes with a haughty and highly technical explanation of why there was a British Invasion and not a French Invasion in the 1960s but this video is enough to make the point and definitively answer Ol' Babel's question.



Rock on, Brother
