No Rock And Roll Fun

THE PRICE OF A MARKET DEMOCRACY: We know it was all in aid of a charity but even so, isn't playing a huge gig at the Great Wall of China sort of supporting the not-very-pleasant Beijing regime, and also not particuarly good for the Great Wall itself which is meant to be falling to pieces and probably doesn't need very much in the way of amplified rock music to make it go the way of the buddhas? On the other hand, perhaps sending Alicia Keys, Cyndi Lauper and -oh, the inhumanity - Boyz II Men to China was some sort of musical shock and awe strike.
