I hear good old Bob is to perform in China. I also hear that every song he might sing has to pass muster with government censors. The times they are changing indeed.

Another capitalist takes it up the shitter from a brutal, oppressive regime.

I hear he played in Ho Chi Min City and the place was half full/empty...

Geeze, you'd think that he would have done better than that seein' as Vietnamese is the only language he sings in... (The was a Dylan joke, folks...)

Good one!


BTW check out Ai Weiwei's art project at the Tate Modern, London - 100 million individually handcrafted pocelain sunflower seeds.

That should read "porcelain" sunflower seeds.
