Jay-Z Show Canceled: Too 'vulgar' for China?
So everyone is reporting what we warned you about. Here's what the AP said:
Rolling Stones play for 'expat bankers and their girlfriends'
We didn't go to the Rolling Stones concert last night. And we have only heard from one person who did go, second hand at that. Here's the message we received today:
Rolling Stones arrive, city's average age increases slightly
The Rolling Stones arrived in Shanghai yesterday and the media noticed. We read a couple of these stories before we got bored.
Shanghai, prepare yourself for a 'Home Invasion'
Rapper and hardened TV detective Ice-T has been booked[1] to play at Shanghai's Club Pegasus on July 21, alongside fellow Rhyme Syndicate member Afrika Islam. As an originator of "true story" gangsta rap, as well as the man who did battle with ultra-conservative Tipper Gore over his heavy metal band's single "Cop Killer," we can't help but admire the ambitious promoters who've orchestrated the New Jack Hustler's impending arrival in China.
