here is the UK advice on travelling to the Yemen, and if its bad for the british to travel there you can bet its twice as bad for an american to travel there!!
SUMMARY
There is reliable evidence that international terrorists are targeting western, including British interests in Yemen. It is likely that there will be terrorist attacks against British individuals or organisations there.
We therefore advise against all but the most essential travel to Yemen. British nationals visiting or resident in Yemen should consider whether their presence is essential and their personal security arrangements adequate. British businesses and schools should also review their personal security arrangements with the greatest of care. You should maintain a high level of vigilance, particularly in public places frequented by foreigners such as hotels, restaurants and shopping malls. You should take sensible precautions for your personal and vehicle safety and avoid any political gatherings and demonstrations.
In response to the terrorist threat we have reduced staffing at our Diplomatic Missions in Yemen and are able to offer only limited Consular assistance
SAFETY AND SECURITY
Terrorism
There is reliable evidence that international terrorists are targeting western, including British interests in Yemen. The threat to British individuals and organisations from terrorism is high. It is likely that there will be terrorist attacks against British individuals or organisations in Yemen. There have been a number of terrorist incidents in Yemen in recent years. Three US aid workers were killed in a shooting incident in Jiblah in December 2002. A French oil tanker, the Limburg, was the target of a terrorist attack off the coast of Yemen in October 2002. Other notable incidents include a number of recent bombing incidents in and around the capital, some involving alleged Al Qaeda suspects ? though mostly without casualties. In 2000, the USS Cole was the target of a major terrorist attack, and the British Embassy sustained damage from a bomb. Following three suicide bombings in Riyadh on 12 May, there remains a high threat of further large or small scale attacks against western interests in the region.
We therefore advise against all but the most essential travel to Yemen. British nationals visiting or resident in Yemen should consider whether their presence is essential and their personal security arrangements adequate. British businesses and schools should also review their personal security arrangements with the greatest of care. You should maintain a high level of vigilance, particularly in public places frequented by foreigners such as hotels, restaurants and shopping malls. You should take sensible precautions for your personal and vehicle safety and avoid any political gatherings and demonstrations. We strongly advise against any individual travel within the country.

Domestic Political Situation
Developments in Iraq and on the Middle East Peace Process continue to have an impact on local public opinion in the region and this might be expressed by some people, including through acts of violence against British nationals or organisations. You should follow news reports and be alert to regional developments which might trigger public disturbances. You should take sensible precautions for your personal safety and avoid public gatherings and demonstrations.
Crime
Some tribes are heavily armed and have a tradition of kidnapping foreigners to publicise their grievances or to further their case in disputes with the government. Although events of this kind have become rare, such kidnappings have occurred in the capital Sana?a as well as in the governorates of Marib, Al Jawf, Abyan, Saada and Dhamar. Incidents of violent crime against foreigners are rare but the easy availability of weapons makes it a real possibility. You should exercise caution at all times.

Sorry I am going to be ignorant and not listen to your music
hey, come on. if you're willing to pay full price for decent electronic music, why not get a few more songs for free? it takes little effort to add plays to an mp3.com account.
