Curious

Trends and pop culture differ place to place. I'm curious ... have either of the following found their way into average American life?

- Estelle's American Boy. As an ex-pat, this tune is just too fun over here:) If you haven't heard it, visit www.songza.com and take a listen. I'm assuming Welsh Duffy is mainstream by now -- it just seems obvious.


- Keffiyeh scarves. Last fall, I noticed these everywhere -- all young hipsters donned these but it's gone even further. Recently when I was flying on Easyjet I flipped through their airline mag and one writer mentioned how keffiyeh scarves could be seen on all ages in locales from Casablanca to Copenhagen. Anyway, personally I wouldn't wear one -- not that I believe everyone wearing it is supportive or sympathetic to terrorists. For more on the controversy of the keffiyeh read this article and this blurb on wikipedia.
