I love Omid ;0)

by Darius Kadivar on

He is a great guy and I love everything he does. I got to interview him a few years ago.

He was very helpful also to get an Event in Budapest where he was to be awarded with the Iranian.com and other artists and medias.

Really nice human being by all accounts.

Thanks for sharing.

I cannot understand the fuss made about this and I thought it was a pretty clever peace of manipulation by O.D. to get some publicity for the show. I could not stand the Telegraph article as it just shows even today how they cannot think beyond the stereotypes.
