Jon Bon Jovi and Joan Baez would never be allowed to sing in Iran, but are showing their strong support for the protesters there.

In videos that can be found on YouTube, Bon Jovi and Baez perform songs, including some lines sang in Farsi, calling for peace.

In “Stand By Me, Bon Jovi sings with Andy Madadian, an Armenian-Iranian pop musician. Bon Jovi adds a line sung in Farsi proclaiming “one voice, you and me.”

Richie Sambora, Bon Jovi’s guitarist, supplies the licks in the video from June 24th. The video opens with the image of Bon Jovi with a sign in his hands written in Farsi that says “we are all one.”

Bon Jovi was thanked for his performance in comments posted on his website on Saturday, expressing hopes that Bon Jovi would some day be the first American singer to preform in Iran.

Joan Baez, American activist and folk singer, sang “We Shall Overcome,” singing parts of it in Farsi. The 68 year old singer, is seen sitting in her kitchen strumming on an acoustic guitar on the song that was the anthem and made famous by the Civil Rights Movement in the U.S.

Baez, in a message on her website to the people of Iran, proclaims that the world sees the power of nonviolence in you and thanks them for their courage and sacrifices.

Other musicians provide soundtracks for the slideshows and videos of the protests of the alleged fraud from the June 12 election which gave President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a landslide victory.

One set of photographs has late pop superstar Michael Jackson’s song “Beat It,” with the key lyrics in red overlaying images of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and Ahmadinejad.

Rage Against The Machine, the politically minded rock band, provides the soundtrack for a video that splices political protest photographs with video of the pre-election debate where Ahmadinejad is holding the intelligence file of Mir Hossein Mousavi’s wife, who was a rival candidate.
