AMERICAN MUSIC EVERYWHERE

We are finding it strange that everywhere we have gone so far they have played American music, or at least music in English.  There have been the crooners, like Harry Connick Jr., top 40 music, and a cab driver with an Elvis Presley ringtone.  It just seems odd that there wouldn’t be French or Italian music played locally.  We have just never heard it.  It is all in English and often not even edited for content like it is in the US.  We are learning that the “F” word isn’t as taboo here as it is at home.
