According to other reports, it is to be held on next May. So far 41 bands from 19 countries reportedly applied.

Anything to keep world attention focused on N. Korea. Nuke test one day, international rock festival next day. Hopefully, Ceausescu-like send-off after that.

They want world-famous musicians to stand up there and preach, "Let's hate America", or at least, "Let's hate Bush".

Rock-musicians are among the many who cannot see the irony in North Korea - "Rock for Peace". Or should I say, choose not to see.

If it were the U.S. we would hear outrage from the hate us first liberals over the waste of money for superfulous entertainment gratification while people were starving.

But this incredible Nero-like stunt will no doubt be touted by Pelosi et al. as evidence of NK's magnificent cultural elightment. Wonder if Madaline Albright will do some lip sincing for between-bands entertainment???

I'm DEFINITELY going if Nick Rivers is playing... it will be a blast!

Nick performs mainly in Communist countries, as documented in that 1984 classic movie, "Top Secret".

insisting that the lyrics should not praise "war, sex, violence, murder, drug, rape, non-governmental society, imperialism, colonialism, racism, anti-DPRK, and anti-socialism."

Damn! That kinda puts the kabosh on Insane Clown Posse.
What's left to sing about? The great taste of tree bark?

It's highly unusual that North Korea, a closed communist society, has decided to hold the festival which will expose its hungry people to what it called "decadent" American music.

That's because they know who their friends are. If anyone wants proof that the entertainment industry is a bunch of liberal commies supporting a murderous deranged dictator, look for who signs up.

North Korea and Rock and Roll just don't go together.

Will Neil Young sing "Keep on Rockin' in the UnFree World?"
