shin joong hyun

dig this international herald tribune piece about shin joong hyun, south korea's original rockaroller, who gave up his career rather than kowtow to a tyrant. at the peak of his success in 1972, shin was jailed on drug charges and had his music banned by his country's government after he refused to write a song praising dictator park chung hee. shin recently completed his farewell tour and will retire to a house in the country. much respect to you, sir.
