Nepal’s King has banned cell phones. I’m sure he has his reasons, but I’m going to pretend he did so in order to offer the world the perfect concert locations.
Sometimes we musicians live in our own little worlds. And we like to believe things our way.
Joking aside, I must confess to knowing very little about Nepal, but I did read this:
“King Gyanendra shocked the nation and surprised the United States and other allies by firing the government, detaining more than 100 political opponents and suspending basic constitutional liberties, including freedom of the press and the right to assembly.”
