Ha ha yeah.....his sister could have made herself useful for us :P
Ahmad Zahir is an amazing singer, no words to describe it. I mean the fact that 3 decades later, and the fact that us young generation listen to him more and more is unbelievable. Honestly, which singer do you know of that can keep the spirits high for people. Especially during the Soviet Invasion, he gave hope for us through his music. He gave us something to turn to. Even during the rise of the Taliban, when music was banned. People risked their life just to listen to his cassette.
My mother told me a story that back home, there was this particular bus that had a radio/cassette player, and he played Ahmad Zahir the whole time. My mom and her fellow female classmates would miss their own bus on purpose just so that they could go to that *particular* bus. They waited hours and hours for it :P
