All This
(For one crazy man!)
(Please add your knowledge to this page! Check here to see how.)
This song appears to have gotten its start as a riff on Abhinandan's song Ah This but it evolved enough to qualify as a new, different song in its own right. In fact, for a long time, its separate existence was not known and the wiki had it as just another version of Ah This, until a correspondent alerted us to its unique qualities. Its two known recordings are similar, long live recordings from late Ranch-era celebrations.
The song goes like this: For several minutes in each version, separate groups of men's and women's voices are singing just "Ah this", with chords / harmonic structure similar to the chorus part of Ah This, reproduced below. At some point, this morphs into "All this", a difference not easy to discern.
The major innovation of this song can be hard to notice as well: Eventually, the men start singing very softly, "For one crazy man". According to our correspondent, the concept has its origin in a story from the Ranch: Osho was led around and shown all the the structures which had been built, and at some point in the tour he made the remark "All this - for one crazy man!" Almost everything Osho did in public was videoed, so likely this story is more widely known and the video may even turn up some day.
