Googoosh

The way Googoosh was treated by the Iranians in west surprised me completely. I like Googoosh and I have always enjoyed listening to her music.

Why criticize her? What more can a person do? She is an artist and a very good one. How much more can we expect from an individual? You can not expect her to think like you do. An artist does not necessarily have to have the right political views to contribute to the culture of a country.

We need to see things in a better way. What we lack most in Iran is people who do their thing well, be it singing, painting, cleaning, learning, helping friends, administration, teaching, running a TV-channel, running the country etc. So please if you see an Iranian doing a good job just give them encouragement. Or at least try to do your own job well.
