Bon Jovi records a song for Iran



In a surprising show of support for the Iranian people John Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora and Iranian superstar Andy Madadian team up record and release a cover of the song Stand by Me.

With this song they hope "to send a message of global solidarity to the people of Iran who are caught in the midst of debate and protest over the country's recent election."

This song has always been one of my favorites, no matter how I feel about Bon Jovi, it's still a good song. The Video link is for the full video, the song is in English and Farsi. Enjoy and share folks.

Suddenly, I started liking Bon Jovi....

I don't know if I started "liking" Bon Jovi... But I certainly have a new found respect for an established rocker that takes the time to make a song like this, for a cause that the rest of the music industry has mostly ignored.

Thanks for the comment Deya:)
And yes I really hope that things in Iran get resolved soon, there is a partial recount of votes going on there this morning....

Now, I'm turning my eyes to Honduras and I'm going to keep my fingers crossed for them too...
