Chewing globalisation for breakfast

A very good Lebanese friend of mine told me this story once. During the early eighties, he used to like listening to Madonna as a kid. His brother called to him, asking him what's that he's listening to? He told his 'uncool' brother that it was Madonna. His brother said tayeb (OK) come here, I can play it better for you. He played him a rendition of the song on the Oud after listening to it once on the radio. Cool...
