I usually don’t comment on these articles, but I did so because of the ignorant comment above. True art and inspiration is beyond any demographic barriers and time and is rare to come by – so you take it as it comes. Most of the so called Indian music legends have hardly composed anything that matches the depth of Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd. They keep sticking to the cliche Bollywood factory without showing any sparks of genuine creativity. Even many indie bands have way more originality than these overrated Indian musicians. And this is no way a “colonial hangover” lol. It is about finding good art and relishing it.
Btw, kudos to the journalists for being able to have such a discussion with Roger Waters. I’m sure he spent more time with you because he liked your company.
Yes indeed ,, i mean we are only what 70 years of a old a country but sadly its suffice to say the media is still overwhelmed of the western people and the other intelligentsia !..
Maybe the media ought to be drawing a fence to restrict its many ways of using and influencing the rest of the world with its engrossing interviews of celebrity bigwigs .
Better we wake up as a country first ! ..and then do the other non essential comparisons
Its always hilarious to me how subservient we are to fampous people from western countries….Truly, the colonial hangover is still there in english writing journalists of india………This kind of awe and respect should be shown for our indian achievers and legends ….The fundamental mistake that many in indian media make is that they develop false sense of familiarity with indian celebs, to the point they start taking them for granted, as the saying goes “Familiarity breeds contempt”…. i think indian media should always remember that they will remain as far as possible in life from indian celebrities till their death …..
