I hate to be debating on this topic because our goal is the same. We want to be proud supporting ARR in public via the tshirt, and ofcourse we want publicity for ARR. He is the greatest composer of our time and more people from around the world ought to know about his magic.
Music Composer/Singer label would do. But I don't think it will attract any unfamiliar crowd because, although it conveys the point, it seems mundane to me. (just my subjective opinion) Something like "If Mozart was alive he would be called Rahman of the West.." not only conveys the point that he is a musical composer, it is more intriguing, especially to a non-indian. I belive something catchy will make people want to explore and see who he is.. afterall isnt that what we all want? People in Auckland are more receptive to other cultures, but Americans are not. We need to give them good enough reason to explore something otherwise they are uncomfortable with the change. ARR himself said somethign similar once when asked about disappointment with bombay dreams in the US. Anyway, these are just my 2-cents.. Tshirt creators have the right to choose whatever they wish after hearing our arguments.
