May not be in your country yet, but if world councils
like the Club of Rome or Bilderberg have their way
(and they always do) then this could be a glimpse of
things to come under their long coveted global
government. Usually before introducing dramatic change
on a mass scale they beta test in smaller areas to
work out the political/tactical kinks (think czech vs.
utah).
Anyways, enjoy.

Turkman president bans recorded music
Turkmenistan President Saparmurat Niyazov has deemed
recorded music a negative influence on society and
banned it from public events, TV and weddings.
Niyazov has already banned opera and ballet from the
former Soviet state, saying they were unnecessary, the
BBC reported.
"Unfortunately, one can see on television old
voiceless singers lip-synching their old songs,
Niyazov told his cabinet regarding music on TV. "Don't
kill talents by using lip-synching ... create our new
culture."
In 2001, Niyazov, the country's president for life,
banned gold tooth caps, long hair and beards on young
men.
He has also banned car radios, closed all hospitals
except those in the capital and renamed calendar
months after his relatives, the BBC said.
