Answer: Bruce Springsteen

"Born in the U.S.A." is the title track of a Bruce Springsteen album while "American Skin" is from his album "High Hopes." Both songs are pointed looks at America, not altogether pleased with certain aspects of life in the U.S.A. But as he stated in his Rolling Stone magazine interview in 2007, "The American idea still has enormous power in its best manifestation... What we're going through now, we're going to be out the other side at some point."

Question by player CardoQ

Answer: theremin

The theremin is played by moving your hands within the instrument's electromagnetic field. One hand controls the pitch: the closer to the pitch antenna, the higher the tone; the other hand (usually the left) controls the volume: the closer to the volume loop, the quieter.

The theremin was invented by Leon Theremin, who patented it in 1928. It can sound very eerie, or remarkably like a human voice.

Kippers, by the way, are a whole herring that has been butterflied, gutted, salted or pickled, and cold-smoked over oak woodchips.
