(I'm probably not the only one who doesn't know Simon Cowell, which seems to be the only Simon who broke his back. Now I know that he is a music producer who's famous because he's a juror on a talent show ... or otherwise around ...

And I watch some american news / news related clips from the USA. American news take some getting used to, by the way, everything said at least 5times over, and ... who ... not very neutral ...)
