Baez, Bon Jovi show vocal support in Farsi
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.
