As Americans enjoy their Monday off (as written by an Englishman who’s totally not bitter about being in the office…), let’s look at some of our US-themed favourites in store…   The Only Boss I Listen To – Bruce Springsteen The man Born In The USA, and the man behind many a Presidential candidates’ poor choice of theme song.
