Iranian radio told to play "relaxing, revolutionary" tunes | ||
2005-12-20 | ||
Hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has told Iran's radio and television network not to play Western and "decadent" music and instead use "relaxing" and revolutionary-era tunes. "The promotion of decadent and Western music should be avoided and the stress should be put on authorized, artistic, classic and fine Iranian music," a decree was quoted as saying in Monday's press. Also prescribed by the High Council of Cultural Revolution, a cultural watchdog headed by the president, were "relaxing themes and memorable music from the revolution."

#3 The Hidden Imman is bad enough, I fear the 13th or Misplaced Imman. He comes with a built in grievance - aka the Doctrine of Original Seethe. |

#2 Since the majority of his country's population was born after the "revolution", I don't think they are going to enjoy the new format much. It's a good thing that the 12th Imam is coming in 2 years, because at this rate he is going to get his own head chopped off by a mob in three. |

#1 The man's a genius. An absolute genius... The muzak version of "The Horst Wessel Song" is a real toe-tapper. Coming soon to a taxicab near you... ROFLAMO |
