Yes “Horse with no Name” plods along well, giving the context of the hot dry open expanse, when one drives through the Mojave Desert.

Another song from a sort of desert place, with dry religious theocratic authoritarian regime.
A light jazz concert, sort of melodic easy listening with no live audience.

کنسرت کاروانسرا با صدای پرستو احمدی | Karvansara Concert, Parastoo Ahmadi

27 minutes : Dec 12, 2024 : Parastoo Ahmadi : All spoken & sung in Farsi.

I am Parastoo, a girl who wants to sing for the people I love.
This is a right I could not ignore; singing for the land I love passionately.
Here, in this part of our beloved Iran, where history and our myths intertwine, hear my voice in this imaginary concert and imagine this beautiful homeland…

I am grateful to all those who have supported me in these difficult and special circumstances.

Illegal to have no head covering in public, illegal to sing solo publicly.

12 Dec. 2024 ….. The Iranian judiciary, without naming Ahmadi, stated that legal action was taken against “a group led by a female sing ..

So pulled in by the prosecutors and on arraignment.
From 1st January 2025 the laws & penalties in Iran are going to be much stiffer.

Dec 23, 2024 ….. She was released on a 30-billion-rials (nearly $38,000) bail. Members of her band, who were also charged, were released on a 20-billion-rials (approximately $25,000) bail each.

To note, it is against Sharia laws.
Yet in the UK in the past 6 months there has been a major increase in Sharia Courts, well not quite, but most likely many more cases & their influence is much deeper in all of British culture.

…. 2012 …. An estimated 85 Sharia councils could be operating in Britain, according to a 2009 report ….

….. “Sharia law does not form any part of the law in England and Wales,” a Government spokesman stated ….

Yet one may wonder how far has Sharia law extended into the supposed UK Government Policing, Judiciary & laws when one considers “2 tier Kier” Starmer.

Where does Sharia law stop?
From a report in 2009 covering Beth din & Sharia courts.

pg 2 …. By considering evidence of the practical behaviour and functioning of Sharia courts, it is apparent that such Councils are wildly over-stepping their jurisdiction within family matters and are heavily straying into criminal issues such as domestic abuse.
Moreover, with the coming criminalisation of forced marriages, this jurisdictional spill-over is certain to increase exponentially.

Not quite.
We had a horse with no gender did we not?

To call her a bitch is to misgender her and insult all the real bitches around the country.

I added the last link which has pdf, during editing time, so stumped the system.
To note just 14 pages in that pdf,

To be fair it was a lot of rambling about Iran and nothing to do with a Horse with No Name.

That is pretty much spam posting with all those links
Surely 4 links would be enough to make a point!

Maybe a fitting punishment? a form of interrogation, so long as it is “a horse with no name”.
It seems like put on a horse facing backwards & tie their hands to the tail.
That way one will not see the busier section of the blog. 🙂

Another song that brings back memories of the 1970’s. 🙂

Not to mention an acceptance that the flat flagon beer & weak pot of the era was still potent enough to make us think that the song had a profound meaning as opposed to being the result of darts meeting a dictionary. 🙂
