Musical Youth
Bryan Adams helped wake a woman from a coma.
Christiane Kittell, 24, opened her eyes and
called out her mother's name during an Adams concert in Regensburg, Germany.
Given the number of people that he has put asleep with his
music over the years, he'd have to cure entire hospitals to restore the karmic
balance of the universe.
Meanwhile, The Rolling Stones are feeling the effect of Chinese censorship.
…four songs, all of which include sexual references, were originally cut from the mainland release
of the band's "40 Licks" compilation album by China's culture ministry, Chen
said. Only songs on that album will be allowed during the China shows, Chen
said.
I think if the Chinese censor listens carefully, he'll find that all
Rolling Stones songs contain sexual references. I can't see Prince playing a gig there any time soon.
Sir Cliff Richard has arrived in South Korea, where he was met
by a mob of screaming fans who have been fans since his last visit 34 years
ago. The evergreen singer is on tour in the country
and is amazed by the
reception he is getting.
He says that he had not visited the region for more than three decades and
assumed that people would think he had died: "I think perhaps Koreans think I
am dead already but I am hoping I will show them I am alive and I am still
kicking!" he said.
There are plenty of countries where the screaming mob would be prepared to do the kicking. If ever the North Koreans were tempted
to lob a missile at their neighbours down south, surely this is it.
