The article says
“The response, basically, was ‘You are not welcome here. We do not want you to come back, at all. We are not interested in engaging, and steer clear,’” said Mr. Stephens. ”I was just amazed that Hendrix was, like, so opposed to this idea of even engaging in a conversation two years later,” he added.
Whomever reached out to the press office of the college was told the following
"Asked for comment, Hendrix spokesperson told Betabeat, “While we regularly invite and promote speakers on a variety of topics that are relevant to our academic program to campus for the benefit of our students, past and present, faculty, and the community, Hendrix does not provide a venue for individuals to promote personal projects.”
I can't see anything to indicate he is unwelcome. He couldn't give the exact reason why they would not let him present his work (Which is obviously disappointing).
The article title is misleading.
- mturmon 14y agoRight. It's OK to have a book tour, but it's not OK to gripe when you aren't given a venue of your choice to promote your book.
- dreamfactory 14y agoSeems a very obvious manufactured PR story
