Musicians Joan Baez and Jon Bon Jovi are using videos carried on YouTube to support Iranian protesters, performing songs that call for peace and use a few lines in Farsi. New Jersey's Bon Jovi sings "Stand By Me" with Armenian-Iranian pop star Andy Madadian. He adds in Farsi: "Hand in hand, with one voice, you and me, countryman, your pain, my pain, be with me." The June 24-dated video opens with an image of Bon Jovi holding a sign that reads "We are all one" in Farsi. Activist Baez's version of "We Shall Overcome" includes a portion in Farsi.
