China Bans Oasis, And Not Just Because Oasis Are Rubbish
What with embracing capitalism and becoming a superpower and all, China's had a lot to deal with recently. But some things are still too much to cope with. Like lumpen, coasting indie music made by, in part, the bloke from Heavy Stereo, for instance. And that's why China has banned Oasis from performing there. The Chinese government's official explanation for the Oasis ban is that Noel Gallagher performed at a Free Tibet concert in 1997, although we've heard rumours that actually Vice Premier in charge of agriculture Hui Liangyu banned them because he much prefers the music of The Bluetones.
