And yes, it is a huge pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-51750838692249022152010-08-20T10:30:08.309-04:002010-08-20T10:30:08.309-04:00from the specials website...note the diff. date:

But any tour dates that the band would benefit from monetarily would require a work visa & is (I think) a bit more of a challenge to nail down. Not sure if they were getting paid for the Central Park gig though :/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1134969481939975509.post-34285401556075220722010-08-10T16:58:25.460-04:002010-08-10T16:58:25.460-04:00I hear you and share your frustration.
