The Iranian police has found another threat to the Islamic faith: rap music. The morals police has raided parties across Iran to nab kids who just want to play rap music. These teenagers have been meeting in abandoned buildings to listen to the music and dance.
The courageous Iranian police arrested the teens and seized “Western musical instruments” as well as alcohol. They were declared participants in a “morally deviant” practice, including music that “portray[ed] a bleak picture of society and presenting unhealthy relationships between boys and girls as normal.” I am not sure that you need rap music to portray a bleak picture of the Iranian society under control of the mullahs.

Buddha,
Not that Bach was particularly devote, the Church was just where most of the gigs for composers were at the time. Plus it was what the man was expected to do. If you were a member of the Bach family, you worked for Churches.
Apparently the extended family would gather every week or so (whoever could make it) and have a huge Bacchanalia and jam session.
Gyges,
“I always thought that if I were God, I’d be pissed that I went from Bach to ‘Our God is an Awesome God.'”
You and me both, brother.

I always thought that if I were God, I’d be pissed that I went from Bach to “Our God is an Awesome God.”
Tootie,
Yeah, you always hear about the liberal government in Iran.
Do you have my lecture about “liberal” having a meaning other than “bad” memorized yet, or do I have to go through it again?
