It happens all the time going both ways.<BR/><BR/>Last month's Uncut contained a spectacularly wrong-headed piece of anti-American social commentary disguised as a travelogue following Springsteen around. <BR/><BR/>In fact, even our beloved Word claimed on its website that an Over The Rhine song on the free CD was a "quiet homage to the arty quarter of Minneapolis" - when in fact their name is the name of a run-down neighborhood in Cincinnati.
