To my friends, fellow musicians, and all the people of Iran:
I stand with your humanity — with your beauty, your endurance, and your resilience. Iran is a land of extraordinary musicians and guitar players, a place where music, poetry, and artistry have always lived at the center of culture. I have wanted to come and play for you my whole life.
The Lion will roar and the Sun will shine again — through art, freedom, and dignity.
However one must NOT forget Netanyahu is a war criminal for what he did in Gaza along with Trump who supplied the weapons and was eager to acquire Gazans beachfront property for hotels and resorts. Here in the U.S. he is a cruel fascist dictator who abides by no constitution nor democracy! Although I’m happy for the 80% of Iranians that Ayatollah is no longer but one must never forget that these 2 leaders are serious war criminals and there isn’t any common empathy nor humanity in either one of them. Yes , they started a war but didn’t consider the loss of innocent lives that will perish because of them! Without empathy I guess they just don’t! Remember, Trump has business aims not a care for humanity in the slightest. Oil is his aim !
I look forward to the day we can celebrate together.
I promise: I will be there.
