Anyway, I've just googled it ... Will Njobvu, Jr. he's black and Springsteen is old enough to be his grandfather.

How does one pronounce Baddiel? Who knows and who cares?

I haven't listened to his music either.

But I have heard of GOT countless times. And there is no reason why she shouldn't have either if she has any contact with the western world.
I edited "her" to "she" just to save a nit-picker from nit picking.
