But wait, even a cult following here in the USA can be bigger than the base one enjoys in a European nation, no? ( Sorry Brits, you just got lumped in with Europe, and I know that ires ya) I mean, doesn't the entire UK have a population of somewhere near the combined populations of say Texas and California?
Note: not that California or Texas have great vast pools of good taste, I'm from texas and clearly have no taste.
