A tradition of colonialism can lead to interesting assimilation of diverse cultural influences. The foundation of British rock and pop was greatly influenced by visceral and intellectual American black culture...blues and jazz. I've also frequently thought Billy Idol represented British seapower without a war. Any student of history knows the Limeys are nucking futs...Sir Francis Drake and the English Navy defeating the vastly superior Spanish Armada comes to mind.
