NEW YORK - Roger Waters has no qualms about giving a Canadian band permission to tinker with the Pink Floyd classic "Another Brick in the Wall" for use as an anthem for young Iranians.
Toronto-based band Blurred Vision, fronted by two exiled Iranian brothers, has reworked the lyrics to express the resentment felt by young Iranians toward their government. One well-known verse was changed to "Hey, Ayatollah, leave those kids alone!"
Waters said he encourages artists to use the song to resist all forms of oppression.
