Hello China!
I just read on the internet that the Chinese Government has stopped MISTER Bob Dylan from playing his World-Changing music in your Honorable Nation!
Excuse ME?
I understand that your Government has concerns about such Prophets of our time speaking-out about complicated matters like China's relationship with Tibet, and, yes, Bob Dylan has been known to speak forthrightly on these types of issues.
I cannot, of course, offer any guarantees that he would not speak in similar terms if he were allowed to visit and perform in China, but I put it to President Hu Jintao, and Premier Wen Jiabao, and others of the Nation's upper echelon, that your nation has much to respect of Mister Dylan, for the Good Work he has done for over five decades in lifting the minds of the American and world's youth from an otherwise dishonorable and un-principled life.
He surely is not to be compared to the Icelandic female singer "Bjork"?
While the "western" world clearly is far from being Just, or from having Wise Government, we all, including the Chinese, and the Revolutionary Government of the People's Republic of China, have to remember that it has often been the Wise and heart-felt, serious and political song lyrics of Bob Dylan that has helped steer not just the USA of today, but the whole world toward being a far more Just place!
I suggest you know my influence in politics of the last ten years at least, and that I speak fearlessly on issues which are crucial to our Collectively Progressing away from unbridled tyranny?
Since the early 1970s, still a youth in Melbourne Australia, I was fortunate enough to be given Bob Dylan's Music to sooth my Soul, and to lift my mind politically and socially, to addressing the important, that-is the less trivial issues which effect everyone's life.
So too, it can be said with certainty, that some many millions of thinking, highly Intelligent Americans, and as well, Good, Wise Folk from all corners of the Earth, have learned through Bob Dylan's Soul and it's expression in his songs and music to dispel any fears of those our parents not-so-long-ago thought of as enemies - the "Golden"-skinned Peoples of China.
His Wisdom has penetrated all of our Hearts, and made many many millions more of us into being far less selfish and far more "Socialist" in how we look at government and those who climb or ascend to lead us.
In all humility President Hu, and Premier Wen, I ask that you speak to those who are afraid of his Greatness, and who have banned him from spreading His Compassion and Wisdom in China, and ask that they reverse this foolish decision?
Do not, I beg of you, deprive your Fine Youth of the "Light" he has to offer in his music, lyrics, and on stage performances.
To that, I attended an open air concert he gave in London in the 1970s, a concert he gave for FREE, after he heard of how poorly the concert venue organized ticket-sales for his earlier concerts'.
250,000 people attended at an old air-force base south of London, to watch and listen to, what I still today, "feel", was the best music concert I have seen.
Again, I do understand that your Government has an huge responsibility in ensuring some Order is maintained across the Land, and I have always argued against those who criticize China as being "repressive" etc.
It will always astound me that those critics, usually from nations that are in truth, falling apart, whose governments increasingly turn their backs on the poor, and nations of far smaller populations, are so stupid as to criticize China?
My retort to them, is usually "I'd like to see YOU managing a nation the size of China?"
Please, reconsider, and offer a Welcome to Bob Dylan, for to uplift the minds and Souls of Your Youth?
Yours,
