Live Music ONLY!
Turkmenbashi has been having a cultural field day today. First he banned lip syching and then went on to ban recorded music. This is hot on the heels of his banning opera and ballet, all in the effort to prevent negative influences upon (what's left of) Turkmen culture. That, or he is trying to help eradicate Ashlee Simpson's alleged career....

Remember "Keep music live!" Those stickers on guitar cases? It's a sentiment apparently shared By we monkeys' favourite nutcase. Turkmenbashi, no Top of the Pops fan, Had already banned lip synching. But now Turkmens can't even listen To CDs at their weddings! So, claiming to be helping To protect cultural tradition, Niyazov finds another outlet For his mania for proscription. But... Would it be so awful if, For example, one's ears Could only be offended Within a few yards of Ms Spears?

Ashlee can do that well enough on her own. She doesn't need Turkmenbashi.

It's ok, everyone, they can still use MIDI.

For some reason after I read about this I got the Abba song "Thank you for the music" stuck in my head.

I just read about Turkmenbashi in the new Seventeen. Those guys at the football game were jerks.

Publish or be damned, teachers told Turkmenistan's president has ordered teachers to write newspaper articles extolling his virtues or face lower salaries.
