Tears in Pyongyang: Eric Clapton invited to perform in North Korea

Would you know my name
If I saw you in Pyongyang
Will it be the same
If I saw you in Pyongyang
I must be strong, and carry on
Cause I know I don’t belong
Here in Pyongyang

According to the Mainichi Daily News, North Korean officials have invited Eric Clapton to perform a concert in the communist state. Apparently the son of Kim Jong Il, Kim Jong Chol, is a big fan.

Clapton’s spokespeople, however, claim “there is no agreement whatsoever for him to play in North Korea, nor any planned shows there.”

Still, what a great show that would be. I hope it happens.
