Anyways in response to your blog:
I have a uncle who grew up in Wisconsin, and I didn’t know this but many Wisconsin natives absolutely love Polka. I mean, they can’t get enough of it. Maybe it’s due to the vast number of German and Polish immigrants who settled in the Midwest. Well my Uncle lives in Tucson now and I recently saw him pulling up to my parents house with Mexican mariachi music blasting really loud in his car. He was asked why, and his response was, “It’s the closet thing to polka around here.”
