Rob Bell has always been edgy, but the sitar?

Last weekend I posted a video of Cyndi Lauper making the most of things during a delay at a crowded airport terminal in Argentina. So it's only fitting that this weekend I share a video of a mesmerizing musical performance by an Indian guy at a celebration in Norway for an absent Chinese human rights activist. More specifically, composer A.R. Rahman doing the Slumdog Millionaire theme song at the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize Concert. But first, an observation about Rahman's partner in crime: is it not obvious to everyone that in yet another act of envelope-pushing, Rob Bell (nom de guerre "Gulrez Khan") has learned to play a wicked sitar? Does this not cross a line?
