the power of song

I read today that most Iranians are not concerned about their dipshit President banning western music. They are listening to our music, anyway. One person whom I saw was interviewed in the article said not to take their President seriously. They are going to listen to their music and tell their President to keep his nose out of it. They are treating this ban the same way big Dick would. Faced with this ban, most people would have the standard Dick Clinch response, which would be, “Hey, Pres, suck my dick.”

I would like to believe if the same thing happened here, our President would get the same response. Once people have rights, whoever decides they are going to take away those rights is either treading on thin ice or in over their head.

It’s like that Goddamn Friedman family down the street and the fucking little beanie the old man wears and all of their weird religious ideas, including not worshiping on Sunday. We can criticize them all we want and we can chuckle at their religious beliefs. But if Dubya says they have to start wearing armbands with a yellow Star of David on them to differentiate themselves from the rest of us, you fucking better bet that big Dick will be wearing one of those armbands, too.

Yeah, we all have different beliefs and we like to listen to different music. When the government tells us we can't worship like we want or we can’t listen certain music, you bet your ass I’m going to develop an interest in that religion and a taste for that music. And I’m going to show whomever tries to ban them, whether it is the President of Iran or the President of the United States, the second finger of my right hand.

Or my name isn’t Dick Clinch.
