The Japan Times: http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-bin/ ... 807r1.html]The Ventures: still rocking after 50 years

An interesting retrospective of one group's success overseas. (Hey, I didn't know they were still touring...)

"Governments have no right to question the loyalty of those who oppose
them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
