And really, does it matter? Because I thought the idea was that we are behind the concept of a democratic process, which appears to have been usurped. @tariq, How do you know he doesn’t?

And DUDE. Show some respect for the guy who gave us such hits as "Wanted Dead or Alive" and "Livin' On A Prayer." But, really, I think you have a good point. @tariq, He loves freedom, man. And DUDE.

What's he trying to accomplish? Does he truly support one party over another? Does he understand the type of reformist Mousavi is and how he is different than Ahmedinejad? Does he know the type of people who support one candidate over another? Does he understand that people on the streets burning businesses, cars, and destroying public/personal property is not ideally the types of actions a singer should be supporting by singing/translating songs into Farsi. Cluelessness really bothers me and Bon Jovi tops that list at the moment.

Serious in that I really do have a horrible time standing back and letting people take care of themselves because I want to help. Flippant in that I am aware of how unrealistic my illusions of helping someone run their life are. I mean, probably. Because that seems like the classy thing to say. ;-) @Faiqa, Heh.
