Not silence really. We can say our opinion that we didn't like his comments and we can highlight the logical inconsistencies in his comments. > > --- On *Sat, 2/28/09, Gomzy™ /<[email protected]>/* wrote: > > From: Gomzy™ <[email protected]> > > How arrogant have we become! Its saddening to see that fans of A R > Rahman take so much of joy in insulting a senior artist. yes, I agree that arr fans basic trait is politeness. If we didn't learn this from our idol, then there is something lacking in our love for our idol. We can express our views WITHOUT insulting the people. Pyarelal is a very senior person. He had given great music for decades. I think, at one time he has held the record of having composed the highest no. of songs in Hindi films and several were hits, super-duper-bumper-smash hits. He himself has won several awards and rightly so. See guys, the simpler truth with most of the ex-celebrities is that age gets the better of them. They are not able to reconcile with the vacuum that comes after years and decades of being the center of attention, having had lacs of fans. So, sometimes what they say is a vent of their frustration. They don't mean to insult anybody, it is just that they end up speaking out harsh words as comes with senior age. -- Rawat
