Shock to the system
Ahead of the current =1 More Time UK tour, Ian Gillan spoke to the PA News Agency, and the conversation steered, of all things, onto the ’72 tour that produced Made in Japan.
In Japan, I noticed the first thing was the cultural change. I was able to do two things, one to learn about the different cultures and the values, number two was from a distance, to be able to see my own culture in England in a different way, from a different perspective.
And there was a real eye-opener, how other people see you and how you see yourself from a distance. I suddenly realised what an undiluted culture was in Japan.

Thanks to Tobias Janaschke for the heads-up.

Yo,
This thread has been open for a few days now, with no comments…Most unusual !
I suggest that if more people take the opportunity to travel ( where possible ), they may find similarities in IG’s thought on his experiences, & this leads to more respect for people & differing cultures, leading into a world peace state-of-mind.
Adonai !
