Waters Says Band Can Rewrite 'The Wall' as Anthem
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Filed at 7:55 p.m. ET
NEW YORK (AP) -- 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 says he encourages artists to use the song to resist all forms of oppression. He says he sees the band as playing a vital part in ''the resistance to a regime that is both repressive and brutal.''

Missy,
Alerte 2B is a defunct St Barth band that included the Lédée twins (Henri and Leon, original owners of Le Grain de Sel), Marcello Limodin (onetime chef at K'fé Massaï), and Jean-Jacques Kraif.
JB liked their music enough to do his own version of their original song "Autour du Rocher".
The band broke up 7-8 years ago. They put out two CDs on-island, which I doubt can be found any longer.
Les Baleines has nothing to do with La Baleine, 'cept they both refer to whales. Alerte 2B is, I think, a defunct French hurricane alert level.

As someone who listens to jazz quasiment constamment, and who appreciates mainstream, cool, bebop, hard bop, gypsy, ragtime, dixieland, latin, swing, West Coast, etc. Virtually anything but rock-jazz and so-called smooth jazz. I just wish "smooth jazz" listeners wouldn't refer to their brand of music generically as "jazz". It drives the rest of us jazz fans crazy since to us it's elevator music. This isn't a put-down, it's just a labeling thing.
