This one has nothing to do with the court verdict yesterday, banning pornographic websites in Egypt. It´s just the once regular Bush/Cheney-administration bashing,with the typical John Stewart touch.

I am almost getting nostalgic. It was so much easier to make good politial satire when the old administration was around. No further comment, just watch the clip, and enjoy!

Nahna wa al Qamar jiraán



This is my contribution for the best ever Fairuz song, Nahna Wa al Qamar Jiraán, it´s a clip from the early days of the only living arabic diva, indeed the last of only a handful uniqe artists who shaped arabic music during the latter part of the 20th century, their legacy and influence will live on, for generations to come,just days ago we weré reminded of another icon in the same category, Muhammed Abdel Wahab .

The clip and the blog post is dedicated to Abu & Um Junia, both of whom played an instrumental part, in me falling in love with Fairuz´s fantastic repertoire.

All those Sunday mornings, with her, and the Rahbani brothers music on the CD-player, the most pleasant way of waking up before being treated to a full Lebanese weekend breakfast, quite the opposite of being deprived of sleep by waking up to the Red Army Choir on full wolume... believe me, i learnt it the hard way..

To Abu & Um Junia , for the very best of friendship, for more years than we wish to remember..

Also, Many thanks to Fida, and Lasto Adri for reminding me of how special this song is to me.
