More than 200 people attending an underground rock concert near Tehran have been arrested by Iranian authorities, local officials and media reported on Saturday.
Authorities said they seized video cameras, CDs, alcohol, drugs and revealing female clothing on Wednesday from the concert site in the city of Karaj, located west of the capital.
Ali Farhadi, the Karaj public prosecutor, told Iran's state broadcaster that 230 people were identified and arrested at the concert, which other officials have dubbed "satanic."
Iran only permits rock music performances by groups who have procured a license from the Ministry of Culture.

Mr. Slapout9,
If the name Toby Keith means anything to them, then I think we can safely conclude that C & W is banned.
It is too bad Johnny Cash has passed away. If he felt comfortable enough playing in Folsom Prison, it would have been logical to play in Iran (where the whole dang country seems to be under lockdown).
This line might just bring down the house:
But I shot a man in Tehran,
Just to watch him die.
But since Cash has gone on to meet his maker, I suggest Junior Brown, instead. He's got the baritone to do a mean version of Folsom Prison Blues.

Remote Viewing And ESP...Wow
Tac, great minds think alike. I posted almost the exact same thing last night before I got an MSN message saying I had a critical error and needed to shut done. Anyway I was going to suggest Tehran Prison blues instead of Folsom Prison BLues which would work with your line about shot a man in Tehran. Maybe we could write a theme song for the SWC:eek:
A journey of a thousand miles begins with the yada yada yada.

I hear the train a comin'
It's rollin' 'round the bend,
And I ain't seen the sunshine,
Since, I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Tehran Prison,
And time keeps draggin' on,
But that train keeps a-rollin',
On down to Isfahan.
When I was just a baby,
The Imam told us, "Boys,
Always be a good man--
Don't mess with Western toys."
But I danced unfihky boogies--
bad hijab caught my eye.
When I hear that whistle blowin',
I hang my head and cry.
etc.
