For people between the ages of 18 and 35, Ziad Rahbani is the biggest celebrity there is. Some non-Lebanese may not be aware of the extent and reach of the Ziad Rahbani cult. You will find young people in Lebanon who can recite entire dialogues and songs by him. These are people who for every occasion and every episode in life can invoke an a phorism by Ziad. To be sure, Ziad was also (and remains) big for people of my generation.
