Yeah, I was going to see Blue Nile, Godfathers and Eddy Grant here in Mpls within the past few years and they were all cancelled at the last minute due to the same visa issues. It is truly a post-911 world.

Not entirely surprised, I have to say (despite the fact that I sprung for tix MONTHS ago). 
Sigh.

"It is with great regret and a heavy heart that we have had to cancel the upcoming “Letters From Cythera” Jaz Coleman spoken word tour. Sadly Jaz’ visa has been subject to delays in processing and in all good conscience we just could not leave it until the eleventh hour to make the call. Jaz would like to send sincere apologies to fans and concert promoters, thanking you all for your loyal support and make it clear that this issue will in no way affect events in the future. All planned KJ shows are going ahead as planned."

I wouldn't read too much into this, re: the US gov's attempts to silence Jaz and his subversive ideas. Work and artist Visas are harder to come by these days, and processing is inconsistent and can take eons. I'm sure it had nothing to do with pre-sale either. ;)
