Cancelled! Dylan Not Coming To Asia!
Filed under: Music Minute
Sorry folks! Bob Dylan won't be traveling across the Pacific to see you Asian peeps! His people have just announced that his planned stops in Beijing, Shanghai, Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong have been scrapped.
But don't blame him - blame China!
The Chinese government refused Dylan permission to perform in the country due to his "politically charged" lyrics. Officials are fearful that the folk singer will pull a Bjork, who two years ago, while performing in the country, made an onstage protest about the Chinese occupation of Tibet.
The Chinese will have none of that now, so Dylan is out!
Boo! We're sure if you asked nice, he would have behaved! Maybe…

The Chinese obviously no nothing of Bob Dylan's "music". They needn't have feared him, nothing he says is in way intelligible anyway.
ONLY PEEPS WHO DONT UNDERSTAND ENGLISH LIKE HIS MUSIC THESE DAYS. GUESS THAT REVENUE STREAM NO LONGER EXISTS. SUCKS FOR HIM!! LOL.
Fuck China. I hate China. What a fucked up communist shithole. Hope they get an earthquake or something…
first?
ignorant chinese people…
Actually Perez it's "not going to Asia"… you're not in Asia are you? How did you get accepted into NYU??? Learn some engligh…
Like i said earlier on another post, it is up to the country. If they dont want him there then we really cant throw a fit. China isnt a free country, so we gotta learn that it is different than America. I love Bob Dylan but maybe he just needs to play in USA and Canada more lol
errrr, perez, love u to death, but u DEFINITELY need to check ur facts on this. just saw dylan perform here in seoul last wednesday…
I hope everybody is learning to speak Chinese in a quiet & orderly, politically non-dissident fashion ’cause in about 30 years those motherfuckers will be running the world…EVERYBODY STOP BUYING CHEAP CHINESE SHIT
he hasn't written a political lyric since 1965 and actually made a conscious decision to move away from being called a protest singer. political activism is the last thing he wants to be associated with. china fails.
