IRAN, IRAN SO FAR AWAY....COULDN'T GET AWAY

Ace has a piece up about the Iranian president and certified asshat reinstituting a decree against western music.

The piece triggered two competing thoughts:

First, is the popularity of Kenny G on Iranian airwaves. Maybe it's just me, but if the Mofo Psyops guys down at Gitmo really wanted to institute some maximum ACLU bedwetting, they'd pop Kenny G into heavy rotation. As it is, it sounds like a devious Rove-inspired act to make the vanilla one so popular in the land of Nod: what better way to destroy the legitimacy of any quasi-totalitarian state than to have official state radio pumping out the oleoganous cranium destroying "music"---and what better way to gain solidarity with the repressed dissidents of that country than to stand together, clenched fists in the air, and fighting the supreme suckage that is Kenny G.

Second, I just had to snicker when reading the article about their attack on "western" music, as my brain related the sentence in the voice of the bartender from the Blues Brothers as he stands behind the bar at Bob's Country Bunker and states, "We have both types of music here----country.......AND western!"

UPDATE: The ghost of Richard Nixon emails in on the Iranian situation:

What up, bitches?

What's the deal with the Israelis trying to go all Franz Ferdinand on Ayatollah-lite? I don't know about Jaffa, but that sure as hell aint the Chicago way. What they need for al-Jazeera to get is a nice, long, fat look at an Israeli air force bomber going all Curtis LeMay in a nice, 24 hour a day lazy circle pattern over Mecca. Sand plus heat makes glass, bay-bee---lots and LOTS of heat. You heard it here from the Dickster.

If you see Kissinger, tell him we're saving a nice seat for him. No need for the long-johns.
