PUBLIC MARKS with tags "Rolling Stones" & "death metal"

Christian Science Monitor is running the first article in an apparent series on Saudi Arabia. This installation looks at reforms, particularly those affecting youth, and covers issues ranging from a Rolling Stones logo on young women's abayas to Saudi 'death metal' rock bands, from the possibility of women's driving to the possibility of public cinemas opening this year. The piece is a good survey of the changes that are taking place despite conservative social pressures to maintain the status quo. It makes for good reading and I look forward to future pieces in the series.
