The Rahman effect
That's perhaps what we
respect, what we respond to and look forward to, and that's perhaps why we
never give up on him because he marches to the beat of his own drummer and we
wish we could do the same in our lives and be rewarded with the same successes.
With other musicians, we feel we have the upper hand. We can bestow on their
works pleasure or supercilious disdain and we can change, on a capricious dime,
the course of their careers. But with Rahman, we have trained ourselves to be
indulgent, even if we suspect that he is never going to give us an album that
we take to instantly, and even if we fear that we are going to rush out in
droves to purchase our copies of “Rockstar” only to register the initial
response of bemusement.
