What music are you listening to?

Collaberation of local guys from Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, and Mother Love Bone in tribute to a fellow musician who died from a heroin overdose.

Love Rusts by Starship just came on right after the announcement that Jerry Sandusky was found guilty of 45 of the 48 charges, and that it took 20 hours of deliberation.

We have two music competitions on TV in India. Final results for one will be out today - 'Jo jeeta wo Super-Star' (One who wins is the Super-Star). It is a competition of past champions for the super-champion. The other is beginning - Indian Idol. 24 competitors from all over India would be selected by the second most famous female singers of the sub-continent, Asha Bhonsle (she is the sister of the most famous female singer of the sub-continent, Lata Mangeshkar. Lata is considered an avatara of Goddess Saraswati or specially blessed by the Goddess of speech, studies, music and poetry). The sisters have dominated the sub-continental music scene for the last 50 years. They have sung thousands of film songs (more than 50,000).

There are two things for which Indians and Pakistanis, both are mad about. One is music, the other is the game of cricket. When these things come, we forget all our disputes. The other common interests are Urdu poetry, kite flying, and kebabs.

Lasta's voice was soulful, Asha had the zing in her voice.

This is also something where nobody minds a muslim carrying away the prize. This time the winner is Mohammad Irfan Ali. Among other things, he won a cash prize of $100,000, which is a lot of money for many people in India (certainly it is so for Irfan). I would not have liked his competitor, a hindu, to win.

Speaking of Asha and of her zing, I wonder if you have heared her collaboration with Michael Stipe of R.E.M.? In this video, East meets West, if only briefly, in spite of Kipling's claim that it wouldn't happen. Anyway, thanks for the report from Asia.

IMHO, East does not meet West in spite of the best efforts of Pandit Ravi Shankar (Sitar), Ustad Amjad Ali Khan (Sarod), Ustad Zakir Hussain (Tabla), and Asha (Vocal). Moreover, the East-West meet came when Asha was past her prime. Let us be separate and happy.
