A Question For Mr. Frankie.

[FAX]

I was going to PM this interrogatory to Mr. Frankie, then I decided that there might be some other Planeteers interested in the answer. Or, if Mr. Frankie doesn't know the answer, we can all make fun of him and stuff.

So, here's the question ... Mr. Frankie, you are familiar with the ways and doings of the Middle East and I was wondering if Arab peeps like Rock & Roll music? I assume that fundamentalist Islam would likely prohibit Rock & Roll and might saw the very tittaws off anyone who listened to it, but then again, maybe not. Plus, there are some countries that are more liberal and seem to enjoy some aspects of Western culture. So, do peeps there like Rock & Roll?

Disclaimers: Sorry if repost.

My understanding is that for the most part they hate it. I mean, they consider it torture to have to listen to it.

[DeezNutz]

Hip hop is more the flava of choice.

They feel about Rock & Roll how I feel about Rap. They want to see Steven Tyler tortured by Chinese experts in their field.

Britney Spears, maybe. But, I would think that some of them would enjoy bands like Pink Floyd and Peter Gabriel and things like that, Mr. Mr. Flopnuts. Or, maybe 50s style stuff.

I would be in favor of that as well.

At least System of a Down. I mean, they're Armanian. Close enough? No?

Lionel Ritchie is quite popular there, I hear.

Well, none of you guys are Mr. Frankie so I'm awaiting word from the expert.

If they don't like it and, as you say, Mr. Mr. Flopnuts, they actually consider it torturous, I think that would be very interesting.

Interesting enough to drive through the streets of Tehran in a VW hippy van playing Metallica through a loud speaker with an American flag flying on the antenna?

Please try to refrain from getting my thread sent to DC, Mr. Mr. Flopnuts. I can't go over there anymore.

I guess FAX doesn't respect my Ph.D. dissertation on the impact of Creedence Clearwater Revival on the Iranian Revolution.

Fax ain't no fortunate son.

Frankie lies sometimes. He can't be trusted.

Very funny, Mr. Rain Man. Everybody knows you can't do the Pony while wearing an Aba.
