I had to agree with mr. ramana in his critique of current telugu music. I noticed this trend a while back and have thus found no interest in the current telugu music tht is coming out. It seems to me, this is strictly my opinion, that no one is taking the time to write eloquent music as was illutrated by spb recording 10 songs in a day. I was listeing to the song, " madhilo maunamu ga" from sakuntala a year or two ago when I first noticed the high quality of language that was used in the old days. The lyricists were not only skilled music writers, but had an astounding control of telugu to the point at which telugu and sanskrit blended together into unforgettable songs. I also think that no one is really commited to telugu music and cinema anymore. there is just raw enterntainment in the movies, but no deeper messages and meanings. rather, it seems that skilled musicians and actors have left for the more lucrative hindi film industry. thank god that there was at one time, ghantasala and his generation of lyricists and mds sridhar ============================================================================== Cry without weeping talk without speaking scream without raising your voice (U2)
