By the way, I'm in no way disparaging the wonderful rhythms of the earlier jazz and swing artists and bands -- they were terrific -- but only that modern rock seems to have a better ability to catch and hold today's youth. The early-jazz radio show I like listening to (a local DJ is a Bix Beiderbecke fan) has 1% of the audience of the rock programs...
Maybe the mullahs were referring to this: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1876542/posts
I thought the lyrics were “Stomp the Cat Box”
Especially after she was bitten by a moose
You really don’t think we could topple the Mullahs with Paul Whiteman records?
>>The last thing the world needs is Rock. It’s hideous and evil. There’s plenty of real music we could flood Iran with...George Olsen. Paul Whiteman. Ben Pollack. Jesse Stafford. Gus Arnheim. B.A. Rolfe.<<
LOL! While I’m sure these guys are great “real” musicians, they are not exactly the type who would foment revolution within a repressive Islmaic regime. Thanks for the laugh though! Bahahhahahahaahaa! Rock is hideous and evil Bahhahahahahahaha!
