For Neda



Beautiful song, powerful message, story of courage.

HBO’s For Neda, the documentary on Neda Agha-Soltan, the young Iranian woman who was murdered a year ago in a peaceful protest on the streets of Tehran after the rigged election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, can be seen on the pay cabler. The Airborne Toxic Event’s Mikel Jollett has created a song “Neda,” and a video to draw attention to her plight.

One of my favorite new rock bands, LA's The Airborne Toxic Event is going to be around for a while.

If you haven't already, get on it. Their smash debut single, "Sometime Around Midnight," is so good it hurts.

You will fall madly in love, I promise.
