Another Brick In The Wall (Hey Ayatollah, Leave Those Kids Alone!)
NEW YORK — Pink Floyd founder Roger Waters has no qualms about giving a Canadian band permission to tinker with his band’s classic “Another Brick in the Wall” for use as an anthem for young Iranians.
Toronto-based band Blurred Vision, fronted by two exiled Iranian brothers, has reworked the lyrics to express the resentment felt by young people toward the government of Iran, where it’s illegal to play rock music. One well-known verse was changed to “Hey, Ayatollah, leave those kids alone!”
Waters said he encourages artists to use the song to resist all forms of oppression. He said in a statement that he sees the band as playing a vital part in “the resistance to a regime that is both repressive and brutal.”
Waters took time from rehearsing for his upcoming world tour to address the issue.
“I applauded and supported the resistance of schoolchildren in South Africa to that repressive and brutal regime,” he said, “and also applaud and support the resistance of Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank to the repressive and brutal occupation they endure.”
The Blurred Vision brothers — 28-year-old Sepp and 35-year-old Sohl — hope the song will show solidarity for Iranians fighting for freedom. The brothers do not make their last name public because of concern for the well-being of family members in Iran.
The video for the song includes footage from the 2009 Iranian presidential election. Many Iranians feel the footage was altered for television by the government’s cleric leadership. The video, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Babak Payami, has been seen by more than 235,000 viewers on YouTube.
Waters begins his tour of “The Wall” in Toronto on Sept. 15. “Another Brick in the Wall” is from that classic 1979 album.

حمایت راجر واترز از اجرای نمونه ایرانی آهنگ «آجر دیگری در دیوار»
راجر واترز بنیانگذار گروه پینک فلوید میگوید از اینکه به یک گروه ایرانی در کانادا اجازه داده است از آهنگ معروف «آجر دیگری در دیوار» برای اعتراض به حکومت ایران استفاده کند، اصلا پشیمان نیست.
اخیرا یک گروه موسیقی در تورنتو به نام «بلرد ویژن» که دو برادر ایرانی خوانندگان آن هستند، با بازنویسی آهنگ «آجر دیگری در دیوار» (Another Brick in the Wall) به بیان خشمی که بسیاری از جوانان از حکومت ایران دارند، پرداخته استت
«بلرد ویژن» یک مصرع از آهنگ اصلی (آهای معلم، بچهها را به حال خود بگذار) را به «آهای آیتالله، بچهها را به حال خود بگذار» تغییر داده است
آقای واترز گفته است او هنرمندانی را که از این آهنگ برای مقاومت در برابر همه انواع سرکوب استفاده میکنند، تشویق میکند
او افزوده است: «گروه بلرد ویژن نقشی حیاتی در مقاومت در برابر رژیمی که هم سرکوبگر و هم خشن است» بازی میکند
برادران ایرانی گروه «بلرد ویژن» به خاطر نگرانی درباره امنیت اقوام خود در ایران، نام خانوادگی خود را فاش نمیکنند.
در ویدئوی آهنگ بازسازی شده پینک فلوید که توسط بابک پیامی ساخته شده، تصاویری از حوادث پس از انتخابات سال گذشته ایران دیده میشود

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
