Ok…I gave The Daughter ample time to post this and since she didn’t….here it is.
With all the wall to wall coverage of the sad demise of Michael
Jackson, the news people seem to have forgotten there’s a big world of
turmoil out there. And that turmoil is going to affect a whole lot
more people…in more profound ways than MJ ever did. Now, I’m not one
for all this “we are the one world” crap… but the call for
freedom? Count me in. Kudos to Jon Bon (as he’s affectionately
referred to in our house…even if I usually find his politics a tad bit
misguided). Just sayin’. And who knew Iran had “Superstars”?
On June 24, Iranian Superstar Andy Madadian went into an LA recording
studio with Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and American record producers
Don Was and John Shanks to record a musical message of worldwide
solidarity with the people of Iran. This version of the old Ben E. King
classic is not for sale – it was not meant to be on the Billboard
charts or even manufactured as a CD…..it’s intended to be downloaded
and shared by the Iranian people…to give voice to the sentiment that
all people of the world stand together….the handwritten Farsi sign in
the video translates to “we are one”. If you know someone in Iran – or
someone who knows someone in Iran – please share this link
h/t American Digest where I saw it first.
