A founding member of Pink Floyd, Roger Waters, who lost rights to the band's name, but not copyrights on the music, through law-suits with other members. Is giving a Canadian band called Blurred Vision permission to cover ''Another Brick in the Wall part 2'' with alternate lyrics. The Toronto based Blurred Vision is led by two brothers who are Iranian born exiles, who keep their last names secret to protect their family still in Iran. It is illegal to posses, listen to, or perform rock music in their homeland. They have changed the trademark line: ''Hey teacher,…'' to ''Hey Ayatollah, leave them kids alone''. Says Waters, ''I support any fight against oppression. This band is speaking out for many, calling attention to a brutal and repressive regime.'' Now, if we could get them to change ''We don't need no education…'' to: ''We don't need an education'', that would clear up a glaring lyrical snag. Double negatives are a sign, in fact, that you are in need of said education. added by: thetrimsmith
