What is the problem of me going to a Michael Buble concert?

From the Economist

In today’s Russia, oil and gas account for 75% of all exports, compared with 67% in 1980. Although Russia no longer buys grain from America, as it did in the 1980s, 45% of what Russians buy today is imported. Walk around a department store in central Moscow, and it is hard to find anything that is produced locally. The state remains the single largest employer, while its corporations—controlling natural resources, infrastructure, banking and media—dominate the economy.

Well it's not only in Russia that countries import 45% of what they consume, even in my country Portugal people love I-Phones, BMW's and american music. Unfortunately for us there are not many things the world loves about Portugal except perhaps to live here!

Just as a side in January BMW was the most sold car in Portugal for the first time ever, in front of Renault, VW, etc... It's amazing!

I didn't know Michael Buble before this show. He sang music from Sinatra, BEE Gees & Beatles and many others. It's a very good show. I was invited to the 2nd row and i loved it. But my point is that almost no Portuguese musician tours the world and we have almost every week festivals with the best American music (I think he is Canadian). This guy got 2 day in a row a complete full house in the biggest Arena we have in Portugal. The MEO Arena!. That is the problem with EM, people want to buy the best and the best is not in EM.
