persian

Mostly Muslim immigrants (although some of them are Christians, Jews, and Bahais) from Iran and their kids living in wealthy parts of Southern California such as Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Brentwood and Sherman Oaks, they generally have materialistic values and an ugly sounding language but they don't really bother anyone for the most part, they're one of the wealthiest immigrant groups in the USA along with the Cubans. The California Persians have a very similar attitude and political orientation to the Florida Cubans. Due to Iran having such a nasty government and being so hated in the USA they regard themselves as Persians not Iranians

"I'm a Persian, not an Iranian"

bluegrass

An old fashioned style of country music dating from the late 1930s pioneered by Bill Monroe (who invented the name) and Roy Acuff. While some people believe it to be the traditional music of the Appalachian mountains, it's basically what country music was like before influences from jazz, blues, and pop came in. Most popular in Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee and Virginia. In bluegrass the guitar fiddle and banjo are the most important instruments and there is no drumming nor percussion. It has had a small but devoted following outside of the South for years, and despite being associated with toothless inbred hicks to some is a genre very highly respected by musicians - not just country musicians but rock and even jazz musicians. Often used in films and TV set in the South, in the last few years it has undergone a massive revival in popularity worldwide because of the film "O Brother Where Art Thou".

Bluegrass isn't just played by Southerners any more - although it's still rare to find an African-American bluegrass musician.

hollywood

The LA neighborhood: the home of the homeless, currently in the process of gentrification

also used to describe the US film industry, which at one time was based in the Los Angeles neighborhood of the same name. nowadays the term is inaccurate because there haven't been too many films actually made in hollywood in years, in fact there are more films made in Vancouver than in all of L.A.

You're more likely to see street people hitting you up for meth money in Hollywood than any movie stars.

George Galloway

The Don Quixote of British politics. Far left wing MP (he was kicked out of Labour for his near-Trotskyist views and started his own party RESPECT), radio talk show host, and occasional reality show contestant. He's been attached to some rather shady dealings in the past and is openly pro-Arab and anti-Zionist. He's a bit of a whack job but charismatic and gutsy as all hell. In looks and charisma he's comparable to Sean Connery although Connery's political views are far different. While I wouldn't vote for him if I lived in his constituency he is a good example of a loveable, entertaining loony and I do have a certain respect for him.

As George Galloway always tells the many Jews who call up his radio show, he is not an antisemite even though he is certainly anti-Israel.
