re: gz - zorba composer a dead-set shmok!
The problem with Mikis (whom I have interviewd twice) is that he is a product of today's cyclothymic alloprosallic (well.....the extended Oxford will propably do...) anti-Western Greek media... There is such an anti-americanism in Greece today, that even arabic countries pale into insignificance, in comparison. They are an ungrateful paranoid lot those ex-patriots of mine... They seem to have forgoten that Greece was saved from the communistic yoke by USA and England... That the West has many a time has supported Greece militarily, economically and in any way... They see themselves closer to bloody arabs than the West... I am afraid before long, that beloved country of mine will be faced with problems insurmountable. For the time being they are saved, for they enjoy the protection of EE.
