Iran's highest authority recently declared that music is "not compatible with the highest values" of his country. Today: guest host Jacqueline Cincotta finds out how the edict will affect the state's already tight restrictions on music. And, she talks with a member of Blurred Vision, the Canadian-Iranian band who turned its update of Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall" into a viral music video. Later: a live performance in our studio from singer-songwriter Rhett Miller of the Old 97s.
