Bob Dylan Blocked By China, Cancels Tour:

"Bob Dylan has reportedly canceled his tour of Asia after the Chinese government blocked concerts in Shanghai and Beijing.

It is believed that China's ministry of culture, which handles the planning of concerts by overseas artists, were threatened by Dylan's history as an icon of the 1960s counterculture, according to Jeffrey Wu of the Taiwan-based promoters Brokers Brothers Herald."
