A movement is thrilling. It’s the work of many people, all connected, all seeking something better. The new highly leveraged tools of the NET make it easier than ever to create a movement, to make things happen, to get things done.
This is Seth Godin predicting the political situation in Iran in his book Tribes. He just didn’t know he was predicting it, I bet!
So, taking a small leaf out of his book, I would like to try and start a little movement of my own. Music for Iranian Democracy. Bon Jovi and Richie Samobra are already onboard with their Farsi cover of Stand By Me.
But I would like to invite all musicians, singers and songwriters of all genres of music to submit music for the Iranian people – and maybe if we gather enough great music we can create a compilation that can be sold and the proceeds can be passed down to the families of those like Neda Agha-Soltan.
Obviously our own EP Iranian Democracy (soon to be released) will be part of this; and in keeping with the guidelines of Seth Godin’s book, Tribes, we will only use the tools of the net to leverage this. No radio, no traditional press, no traditional TV.
Let’s see how far we get!
