Dear Shanghai/ China insiders I would appreciate your help.
I am commissioned by a magazine to write a feature on the Stones gig in Shanghai, but considering the event, it must be much more than a report of the gig.
It has put in perspective the Stones and their Chinese audience. Price of the tickets compared to the average Chinese manager wage, how are known the Stones in mailand China, how was the concert's project was finally put into shape For instance, censorship, politics, why Shanghai and not Beijing.
Also : where can I meet authentic Chinese rock'n'roller ? (do you know a bar, but not simply an expat bar)
I will of course talk about expat, but this is not the main angle.
I would really appreciate any tip on that topic. Tomorrow, I am going to the Stones hotel and see if I can meet some fans there.
Then I will spend most of the day Saturday in the Grand Stage area.
