So I know I am a late bloomer, but I have become obsessed with Top Gear lately (British version). I am also from the southern US and have a keen interest in southern rock and folk music. You may ask how these two are relatedā¦I have noticed that the Top Gear theme song is āJessicaā by the Almand Brothers. I find this quite hilarious and weird at the same time. A show that is about some crazy brits driving some amazing cars, while making fun of the US quite often, have a theme song written by one of the best redneck hippy bands of all time.
Brit, or otherwise, they are after all, 70ās vintage Motorheads., and the ABB was the consummate rock band of the era. S e x, Drugs, and Rockināroll!
Or, maybe it has something to do with both Duane Allmand and Berry Oakley (bassist) being killed in motorcycle accidents within months of each other ā¦
Clarkson is a Southern American through and through, only with a British accent and an upper-middle-class upbringing. He writes columns for Sunday times, which are really like something that a tough guy from Southern States would say. Great guy overall
