The great ARR does not need any certificates or defenses or comparisons, as to His contemporary musical excellence and contemporary musical superiority. It is my personal, repeat personal, opinion that HE reached Himalayan heights and one need not make another one small, to make ARR look bigger. ARR is at once human and humane. God fearing. Exudes humility. Displays understanding and reverence, where they are deserved and are due. These rare attributes are, in addition to the Divine music that flows from him like perennial sacred river, in which each one of us are getting immersed, with pleasure, day in and day out. In other words, what I am trying to think loud is, instead of spending so many words in defending, where defense is absolutely superfluous, THE Musical BOSS. And a lesser number of words on saying or proving, where proof is not needed, that others are not as good and as original, we all can listen to a particular song composed by our ARR, say on a Monday, and the rest of the week, we can say what nuances we detected and what twists we did not notice earlier, on which spots the Genius is more evident and how and where the instrumentalists excelled and where one liked the singer's contribution most. This will facilitate the not so observant also to enjoy the song more. The song of the week will, thus, be owned by all, literally, with full awareness. Please ignore if this is impracticable and not in the interests of this Group of ARR-fans. csrao
