Time to head back to the New York City after time with dear women of my life. I like road/train/plane travel because my mind gets time to revel in thought, transitions, what is next. Something about seeing the trees and landscapes breeze by, so temporary. So in the moment. It’s a great metaphor. I’m playing this band in the car. It’s also on my gym playlist. A good song to drive to. Funky, retro, catchy. I just watched the video and was quite impressed. It’s a celebration of the great, modern women stars of Iran’s yesteryear. Between 1925-1979, Iranian women gained significant rights: access to employment and education, no requirement to wear a veil, the freedom to petition for divorce and child custody, and the rights to vote and to run for public office. And then it all changed with the revolution. And they disappeared into the shadows again. It’s very profound. I only hope one day every woman has opportunity, strength and ability to realize what and who she wants to be.

Wow!
Super impressed with this band and video!
one of my fave songs! 🙂
awesome!
Iran used to be the vacation spot of the middle east (along with Beirut) and ya was super progressive. Unfortunately after the revolution, most of the professionals left. I’m not sure it will ever be that way again 🙁
It’s shocking when you see that footage what it has become. So unfortunate!
