That is so awesome. Sign me up. Who cares if it always hot and the gov't sucks. But no more rap is enough to tolerate the other things.

Ahmadinejad's ruling will affect artists like George Michael




Songs such as Clapton's Rush, Michael's Careless Whisper and The Eagles' Hotel California are often used as background music on Iranian TV programmes.

Songs by American easy-listening artist Kenny G are also often featured.

"This is terrible," said Iranian guitarist Babak Riahipour, a musician whose songs featured on state TV and radio. "The decision shows a lack of knowledge and experience."

I'm curious as to what happens if you get caught listening to britney spears? Punishable by death?
