Thank you much for posting this, on various accounts. From many angles, this is the symbiosis it all can be looked at from, at least from a southern Spain view-- Andalucia, in particular. Time ago, used to loath these type of tunes; http://goo.gl/TCp59
as endless laments as I perceived it at the the time.
Now, I know better. Decades later Sarkozy was expelling Gypsies from France, no?, European Union citizens from Bulgaria w/ the right to live and work in France. Unbelievable. Like, we can't learn from history. "Porque me culpas en la cara ... por ser morena Gitana ... " Oh, and there's something to those doors and windows sealed off w/ the bricks, not just MTV video-ness ...

Thank you for the tea leaves reading, however fluent and changing the situation is and will be for a good while. Thank you also for your good commenters, even when their appraisals may be different than yours and/or complementary.
Years ago you posted this tune from Cat Stevens w/ beautiful imagery from Iran. Unable to find that particular video across Cyberia, not even in your blog, but, still, hope this version makes do;
Yusuf Islam - Peace Train - OUTSTANDING! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLG91tOLPdQ
OK for a live recording, but there're better soundtracks in there.
Prof. Cole,
You're sure reading the tea leaves correctly.
