The Fat Lady Sings

Well, I think we can say the Iranian democracy protesters are screwed. Celebrities are singing for them:

They wouldn't be allowed to perform in Iran, but singers Joan Baez and Jon Bon Jovi are showing their support for protesters.

In videos carried on YouTube, the artists perform songs — with a few lines in Farsi — that call for peace.


We're in to "Free Tibet" territory where everyone of impeccable moral credentials is against the Iranian regime but none of them is willing to do anything about it.

I think we can all look forward to the 50th anniversary of the Free Iran movement when more aging rockers will voice their concern.
