 Hardline President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has told Iran's radio and television network not to play Western and "decadent" music and instead use "relaxing" and revolutionary-era tunes. "The promotion of decadent and Western music should be avoided and the stress should be put on authorized, artistic, classic and fine Iranian music," a decree was quoted as saying in Monday's press. Also prescribed by the High Council of Cultural Revolution, a cultural watchdog headed by the president, were "relaxing themes and memorable music from the revolution."
