Iran Bans Western Music on State-Owned Stations
Posted By admin
“President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has banned all Western music from Iran's state radio and TV stations–a throwback to the 1979 Islamic revolution, when popular music was outlawed as lsquo;un-Islamic’ under Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.” (Washington Post [1], Tuesday)
A good reason not to have state-owned stations.
