Bryan Adams to perform at quake concert in Pakistan:
Canadian pop singer Bryan Adams is to perform at a fundraising concert for quake victims this month in Karachi, becoming the first Western pop star to play in Pakistan since the start of the "war on terror," organisers said.
Some 20,000 people are expected to attend the concert planned at the huge Arabian City club on the outskirts of Karachi, Iqbal said. He did not give any date for the show.
This is also the first time since about 1989 that Bryan Adams will be playing for a crowd larger than about 1000... OK, there was that time he played in The Wall at the Berlin Wall site, but those folks were not there to see him (or the Scorpions (though that at least made since, Berlin being in Germany and all), or any other washed up act that was included...)
Adams, who is also popular among the educated Pakistani youth, had planned to visit Pakistan before the September 11 attacks but cancelled the trip after the attacks.
Well, they can't be all that educated if they are in to Bryan Adams...

Now that is an arcane piece of news Stuffle! Who'da thunk Brian Adams of all people??? The world is filled with such surprises. I think it is nice that he is there to fund raise,but I just don't like his voice too much. Interesting post:)

Pretty much what I was thinking. Haven't heard anything from him since he did a song or two in that Wall concert, which was what? A decade ago? Maybe more?
Anyhow, yeah it is nice that he is doing a fund raiser, but I really can't stand his music. Didn't like it much the first time around in the 80's, either...
