George Olsen. Paul Whiteman. Ben Pollack. Jesse Stafford. Gus Arnheim. B.A. Rolfe.
>> Name a few of these "real" musicians, please. I'm trying to get a handle on what angle of our culture you're coming from. Secondarily, do you think they would be accepted by Iranian youth, or Iranians in general?

Ah, so. Excellent and worthy artists all. Their heydays were mostly before my own time (I was born in the early 50's). The King of Jazz, the King of Swing,... you have invoked some very powerful names there.
Unfortunately, I don't think the music those titans created will hold the same power to revolutionize the youth of Iran, as the more catchy rhythms of modern rock-n-roll. But I appreciate your response, and I understand and respect where you're coming from. Thanks.

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!
