Bob Dylan will be performing in Beijing and Shanghai, his first performance in China. Bob Dylan's songs. just as they had a political message in 1960s US, also became anthems for 1980s Chinese youth. Many musicians in China have been inspired by his music, and many people will be at the concerts, despite the $150 tickets. The Chinese national ministry of culture, which approved the concerts, has required that Dylan stick to a pre-decided playlist.
