Six More Pillars?

Deciding whether to do another Six Pillars to Persia is annoying me. So much discussion, so little undertsanding. It is a turmoil no one can control though so many try. Oil and nuclear power, strength of belief and opression, fear and defiance, discussions and intrigue, news and stagnancy, history and modernisation, men of action - men of greed, descendants of great people inheritors of bloody histories, british and english, persian and iranian.

for a long radio show to not touch on some of these open wounds would be ridiculous. Last time I managed to bring on such an interesting variety of people that there was no one clear message to listeners about Iran. We were the counter-news, bringing on the real people, the ones who lovesd Iran but sacrificed it for their art, the ones who were not political in their work but in their very life choices...

If I do another series I'll have to talk about the subjects that make Iran a stereotype. How else to build a bridge to something that is always shape shifting for me - at once enticing at once terrible?

Article on captive expression....

Airflash magazine have published my article on audio art freeing prisoners up to express themselves.

I wonder if it's true.

Controversy In Captivity

Clever Girl Morrisette

This girl has, at last, come up with something challenging.

An excellent parody of the Black Eyed Peas 'My Humps' song with her own version and video. This is a worthy yet mocking take on the bling-bling culture pervading our media. Even the pace of the dancing and the words hang together in perfect oddity, highlighting the wide gap between life as portrayed in these trends-to-which-kids-aspire-because-they-are-idealistic-and-young, and real life. She reiterates this much overlooked gap with her scenes of 'drama' at which the booty gang look fittingly ill at ease, with the real woman behind the humps.
