This article talked about how Bob Dylan plays his first gig in Vietnam. Its ironic since his music was played during the 1960's when the U.S. was at war with Vietnam, and many of his songs where anti-war/protest songs. It reminded me of path goal-theory since he was not able to play in the country for many years due to the communist government placing restrictions on the music that they listen to. Big name concerts in that part of the world are rare, because of communist censors. There was a obstacle blocking the people of east Asia from hearing his music but through negotiations and a pre- approved set list He was able to play for the Vietnamese. He was also able to play in china something he had not done before either but in China he had to have censors in play for some of his songs. By removing the obstacles imposed by the government he was able to play his music in places that in his long career he has not played at before.
What other theory we learned about could apply here?
