"Please correct me if I'm wrong - anyone - but as far as I know, all she's done is try to protect her image, reputation and work product as anyone in her position might try to do."
But when she sees that I have written about her role, as I have scores of other premie musicians -
Maharaji Music (prem-rawat-bio.org) - she threatens me with law suits unlike any of the other musicians who can read about themselves as pawns of Rawat if they wish and have never complained. I did get a complaint when I said Tim Hain was the sort of player I might go to see if he was playing in a local bar, from somebody else who said I was putting hm down.
IMHO O'Leary was the single most important voice and the most prolific and long-time voice, so that's why she gets the most attention. Musically I prefer Alan Thomas but his last contribution was 1974
and 12 or so other pages on premie musicians
I'm not saying she was complicit in any underhanded dealings or exploitation. "deserves" has nothing to do with it. Dettmers, Donner, Mishler, Charanand, Satpal, Mrs Rawat, the children all get written about because of their public importance in the Rawati$m story. There's 4,800 other pages that don't mention her and 21,500 images on the site not of her.
That's what you write about, the important, public factors. I'm sure there's hundreds of unnamed, unknown premies who have worked for 50 years for Rawat. They are not public figures.
