Queen rocks!

Led Zep too.

How does this relate to the English?

They're both English.

Speaking of which, have Pink Floyd got a sound bite yet? Maybe they excused themselves ...

Granted, the English have produced some awesome music, but they still suck mountain goat turd at hosting international events. :sulk:

I'm loving this!
I'm wild just like a rock, a stone, a tree
And I'm free, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I flow, just like a brook, a stream, the rain
And I fly, just like a bird up in the sky
And I'll surely die, just like a flower plucked
And dragged away and thrown away
And then one day it turns to clay
It blows away, it finds a ray, it finds its way
And there it lays until the rain and sun
Then I breathe, just like the wind the breeze that blows
And I grow, just like a baby breastfeeding
And it's beautiful, that's life

Actually, the athletes parade is probably my favourite part of the Olympics. :)

I hate the Olympics. It's so boring.

Well, that's not strictly true. I sometimes like to watch some of the odd sports like curling and bowls.
