@alavi I have been exposed to Iranian music from time to time. I was lucky enough to see a famous Persian musician (I think, singer and drummer by specialty) and his ensemble perform in Burlington, VT, once, and it's one of the few performances that have moved me to tears. I cannot recall his name right now, to my annoyance. (I remember there were lots of E's in his name.) I have also heard that Iranian cuisine is among the best in the world. Then there's the poetry. If I could travel anywhere in the world, Iran would be next on my list. Really wish our shitty respective governments would just disappear sometimes.
