yeah flakey booking and promotions continue to plague shanghai, just as much as "the man"... Air supply claims to be the first? what about WHAM! in 1985?

Why do you say "brought down by the man"? The Dirty Three show seems to have been screwed by bad production planning of the promoter & tour manager not some gov't authority. It's not the theater's fault for having a regularly scheduled acrobatic performance to put on.

Milli Vanili has been dead (at least 1/2 of the band) for a few years - no need to bring back to mind that dark day for pop.

Nothing warms the Cultural Ministry's heart like sappy, harmless ballads, and of course that is the kind of music that Americans REALLY listen too. So who is next on the list for the world's fastest developing global city? A Captain and Tenille reunion? I heard Milli Vanilli was working on actual lyrics about 5 years ago. Yes, Shanhgai is truly on the cutting edge of global culture. Now excuse me while I load up some more Metallica and some old Diggable Planets on the iPod.
