Ok well this is mainly directed at ol Barny as I know he is wise in the ways of good music (and Black Flag).
SO I was reading a brief biography of my fav. British Band and found out that in the early 60s they got a 4 year ban from visiting the states for an 'undisclosed reason'... any idea what it might be? I am guessing it may be something to do with 'suspected ties to communism' but I am not sure.

I am guessing it may be something to do with 'suspected ties to communism' but I am not sure. Funnily enough, that was one of the questions they asked Ray Davies in this month's Q magazine. Said issue is lying on my living room floor, so I can get you his answer if you like, just as soon as I get home (whenever that may be). Or you could wander down to W H Smiths and have a quick look. |

And here is a link to that very article kinks.it.rit.edu/misc/articles/20050200-QMagazine.htmlIt's not the most detailed answer, but it's the best you're likely to get out of the notoriously grumpy and taciturn Mr Davies. Typing the question "Why were the Kinks banned from America?" into a Google Groups search yields several different answers... |
