They played for dirty money in sun city , south africa

No it isn't as Queen didn't sing Barcelona

Freddie Mercury sang for the barcelona olympics and the queen record made a fortune in the charts on the back of it. But hey the UN Sanction doesn't count for the Olympics does it?

Clearly not seeing as they are separate organisations. Still not Queen, and I'd imagine it also has something to do with Mercury's well documented battle with AIDS and how his story would fit well with the Olympic ideal of triumphing through adversity etc. It still doesn't disprove the point that one of the bands who played Sun City were blacklisted by the UN, I can't see how that shows that people were fine with it as you seem to claim

Shirley a UN Sanction would cover all other organisations wouldn't it? Did you you just assume the aids link or have you got some documentary linkage?
I have no feelings about these performers one way or the other but people must have been fine with it or it wouldn't have happened would it?

And shame he turned a blind eye to some of Mercury's antics.

What antics would they be?

[Taunton Blue Genie]

To be fair to Ray, his manager probably told him he was playing in London

You don't think that he turned a blind eye then?

lol you'll be stoned you know. You must take this outrage seriously, even if it is over 30 years too late.

But a lot of people went there when apartheid was the accepted status quo (Excuse the musical pun) so it wasn't seen as so bad as it is now in hindsight.
Plus of course there were parts of the USA that in reality weren't much better but still accepted.

An arsehole as well as being thick, what a surprise.
