It's kind of crazy that the Free Tibet concert was 12 years ago. Out of sight, out of mind, I guess.
If Tibet had more (commercially) valuable resources or was occupied by a country other than China, would our government be more involved? In any event I dugg up some info here, which gives some background info about Tibet.
Not to be too overtly Palm-centric, but what got me thinking about the whole thing is the documentary we did on the event. There's live/interview footage of Bjork, The Beastie Boys, Cibo Matto, Smashing Pumpkins etc. At the time I was 16, and the concert was a huge deal. Of course I didn't have the money or follow through to actually go, which I regret.
Well, I dug up some youtubes of footage that didn't make the dvd, and you can see all the stuff that did by picking it up here.
