Ravi performs with his sister, Anoushka, at Carnegie Hall tonight and I have tickets!! I can hardly wait!
You are right. I was going to post about that tonight. I never heard the name until I saw the poster the last time I was at Carnegie Hall (for the Mariza show). My first assumption was that she was his daughter (she looked way too young to be his wife) so I looked up a bio online, and it mentioned his sister, Anoushka. It seems either the bio was wrong, or Anoushka was named after her aunt. Regardless, the show was spectacular! Anoushka is exceptionally talented. She conducted and played for the first half of the show, and he came out for the second half to join her. It was everything I expected and more. :bugeye: I don't get the references. Sorry. Who's Charlie, what is "Look at Your Game Girl" and why would he sing with me? You lost me, man.
Shit, I thought you knew your avatar is a pic of Charles Manson. And "Look at Your Game Girl" is a Charles Manson song. Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Ok. One Raven, I've been wondering this for the loooongest time: Why do you have this Charles Manson avatar?
spidergoat, I knew it was Charlie, but haven't heard any of his music, so the reference was lost on me. water, I chose that picture for a few reasons. That picture is Charlies Manson's LIFE magazine cover, and I guess it's a bit of a comment on a nation that would put him on the cover of their most widely read (at the time) news magazine and turn him into a celebrity. It's an event that marks what I really see (though some may disagree) as the point when this country's morbid obsession with celebrity simply for the sake of celebrity reached a sad point of no return. Another reason is one thing about him that has fascinated my curiocity (not really about him but the whole series of events) was his claim to be the second coming of Christ. Now, I don't believe him, I think he's simply an insane, derranged man that was undeservedly vaulted to celebrity status, but since I was a kid one question has always hovered around my mind, "What if?" I think mainly because I think it would make a great story. The other curiosity for me was how people reacted to his claim. I don't think they rejected it because he got people to murder for him, but simply because he claimed it to be so. Anyone who claims to be Christ is laughed at, ridiculed and out-right rejected (usually locked-up) regardless of their actions. So it brings another question to my mind, "What would Christ have to do to convince people, if it is even possible?" I can't help but imagine him coming back (not that I necessarily even believe in Christ myself) as the long -awaited return of the king, and him laughed at and institutionalized. Hell, he could even be in a mental ward as we speak. Anyway, the short of it (even though it's a bit late for that now Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image! ) is that I am endlessly fascinated by people's reaction to him specifically and "potential saviors" in general.
