Summary
Dave Chappelle was hosting the Diaspora Calling! Festival in Milton Keynes, where the Fugees were performing. However, their set was cut short due to a venue curfew, which led to Chappelle comparing the situation to turning off the mic on Martin Luther King Jr. The Fugees took the stage at 10 p.m., but were cut off at 11 p.m. due to strict licensing restrictions.
Our Reading
The habit of strict curfews gets a new name.
Celebrities still have to deal with noise restrictions. Frustration ensues when art meets bureaucracy. The Fugees’ performance was cut short, and Dave Chappelle was not happy. Martin Luther King Jr.’s name was invoked in protest. The show must go on, but not past 11 p.m.
Apparently, even iconic music can’t beat a curfew.
