for those unfamiliar, which should be like the entire thread
that guy Cui Jian is considered the main pioneer of rock and roll in China, he's a huge name, even played at Tiananmen Square in 1989 during the protests
I'm not sure if he does it anymore since he's getting long in the tooth, but despite being incredibly famous in China, he'd regularly tour the US playing in very small bars and clubs because he enjoyed it - had a friend who lived in DC and would watch him play at least once a year in a rundown hole in the wall that had a capacity of maybe 50
very interesting guy
