Chris De Burgh 'will play gig in Iran'

"Lady In Red star Chris De Burgh will be the first Western artist to play a concert in Iran since the country's 1979 revolution, according to reports. Authorities in Tehran have approved a plan for the Irish singer to play with Iranian pop group Arian, the group's manager told Reuters news agency. De Burgh recently recorded a song, The Words I Love You, with the band. Western pop songs with lyrics are banned in Iran, although state radio sometimes plays instrumental versions.

Iranians wanting to record an album or stage a concert need to get official permission. Last month, the government announced a campaign against rap music, which it considers obscene. But De Burgh, known for soft rock ballads like Don't Pay The Ferryman, seems unlikely to raise the ire of the ministry for culture and Islamic guidance - although he may want to leave Patricia The Stripper off his set list."

If they didn't all hate the West before they certainly will after this guy's played there!

i must say, well done to Iran for the crack down on Rap music. It glorifies murder, guns and prostitution.

The world could learn from them

this could be a chance for us to convince Iran that we deserve their pity more than their hate...

I was going to say, it appears the Iranian government has much better ideas than Western ones when it comes to dealing with rap.

Could this be the start of a crappy pop-music Cold-War?

Will we train battalions of mediocre Pop Idol/American Idol contestants for clandestine airdrops into Tehran?

Is Simon Cowell our next NATO supreme commander?

I don't see how the Middle East can survive the onslaught of vapid, brainless pop stars! There's no way they can close the mediocrity gap.

Neh, Let it glorify those things, so what? Hold the people or parents responsible, for the actions of who emulate hip hop killa cop. All people gotta do is change the channel/station.

It is shit though.

Lol, I always think it's funny how anti-rap everyone is. As if rap is enough of a problem to occupy a second of thought. Everyone in the world has (or at least should have) hundreds of more important things to worry about, but they hold "cracking down on that got-damned rap music" as a high priority.
