Flava Flav and Professor Griff can't come to Japan

I just found out the reason why they did not perform here recently with Public Enemy is because Japan does not allow anyone with a criminal record to travel to Japan.

Did not know they had a criminal past. Does anyone know what they did? I guess I could look it up but too lazy right now.

By the 1990s, Flav had become a drug addict. In 1991, he pled guilty to assaulting his then-girlfriend Karen Ross and he served 30 days in jail, lost custody of his kids, and sank deeper into addiction.[5] Two years later, he was charged with attempted murder and imprisoned for 90 days for shooting at his neighbor in 1993.[4] He was later charged with domestic violence, cocaine and marijuana charges; his family performed an intervention and he checked into the Betty Ford Center for crack addiction.[4][5]

yeah.....i found that stuff out about Flav but the only thing I could find out about Griff that may scare the Japanese is that he is a member of a "radical" group or something like that

go figure

it is totally the japanese way that if you fuck up once, you should feel shame for it your entire life and if you cant deal with that shame you should just commit suicide or resign from your profession
