Seems like the US and all the USanians take shots from all sides these days and we all forget all the fantastic stuff to come out of the capital of the world.

Jerry Seinfeld
Bill Hicks
Madonna
David Cross
Bob Dylan
Common
Mos Def
Talib Kweli
David Byrne
Elvis
Ghostface Killah
Chuck D (although, as a white bloke with jewish family he probably wouldn't be too keen on me judging by what his book has to say)
Flava Flav
Sly Stone
Zach Braff
Kelis
Curtis Mayfield
Marvin Gaye
Otis Redding
Quentin Tarantino
Christopher Walken
Sean Penn
Matt Parker
