Can't blame the guy but probably not the best decision.

I can only think of one good reason to go to such a place as Dubai.

I thought the Scorpions retired and quit touring?

I've been to Dubai a couple of times.Both my visits were completely uneventful....uneventful in terms of police contact that is.Before my first trip I did a little research to learn the do’s and dont’s there....and I followed them.It's far more “liberal” than most parts of the Arab world but it's not *just* like the US or Europe.It's tougher to get yourself beheaded there but not impossible.

I can just hear the crew of that B-2 (I think it’s a B-2.) listening to “Rock You Like A Hurricane” during the mission!

James Kottak was convicted of insulting Islam, raising his middle finger and being under the influence of alcohol while in transit at Dubai airport.

Well, I believe it.

"Wind of Change" was a power-ballad by the Scorpions that sold nearly 15 million copies in the 1991 period. That was a sizable hit.

I remember 1991. Seems like so long ago. But I remember it. Not that many people had computers and only the wealthy had cellphones - which were as big and heavy as bricks. I had totally different clothes back then. Even the underwear I wore is no longer in service today. In fact, I don't have much material possession at all from 1991. Maybe a few dusty books, CDs and a couple photo albums of pictures I never look at anymore.

Does anybody else remember 1991 and the song "Wind Of Change"?

He got off lucky and with his head. Acting out in a country that worships a queer old pedophile and makes its women wear head bags is not a brilliant idea.

I remember. Great song about the fall of the Berlin Wall. I play it whenever I get nostalgic for the 80s, which is quite often these days.

I'm in the Navy and Dubai is one of my favorite ports. I just love the place.

The rules are pretty simple though. You can get as drunk as you want to within the confines of the many hotel bars. They're cool with that. The Filipino expats will treat you right. And if you want to bang some hookers, they're cool with that too.

Just keep it inside the hotel or inside the taxi going to another hotel.

If you start stumbling around intoxicated outside, at their malls, airports, in front of their children, wives, etc., they tend to get a little pissed. After all, they are Muslims and don't really like alcohol and drunkenness (though, like Baptists, there are a few sinners amongst them in these regards)

Personally, this isn't unreasonable.

You haven't been to Dubai lately, have you?

Yup, one of my least favorite Scorpions songs. I wasn't a big fan of too many of any of the ballads from that period , though I liked Scorpions stuff like 'Rock you like a Hurricane', 'No one like you", etc. From what I've observed it is Russians digging that song to the point of crying anytime it is on. Was just in some bars in Pattaya, Thailand a few months ago and there are a lot of Russian tourists who request that song from cover bands and will sob and buy drinks for anyone while it's played. And they will request it over and over again too. I guess it represents an important period of time for them, though Putin has reversed many of the gains they made towards freedom. Still, there are a fair number of Russians in the middle class now they can at least afford a trip to Thailand.
