Kind of strange Ringo is involved - didn't he give up on TM after a few weeks in Rishikesh?  And I wasn't aware Paul still meditated.

Interesting Rishikesh reunion of sorts - Donovan, Mike Love, Paul and Ringo.  They need to get Patti Harrison, Jenny, Mia and "Prudence" participating too.

Cowsill told me that Paul McCartney specifically invited Mike.

Howard Stern is going to be there as well, he's been talking about it on his show for a couple weeks now.

i dislike seeing "ph.d" all over websites about meditation-related stuff. i don't know why anyone would give a f*** who has a "ph.d" since it don't mean sh*t in the world of meditation.

b.s degree - bullshit
ph.d - piled high and deep

I didn't realize that this concert was promoting meditation.  Nothing wrong with meditating; but do we really need a benefit concert for this sort of thing?  Has the entertainment industry completely run out of ideas?  What's next, having a telethon focusing on blowing your nose???

You don't pay $2000 or whatever, though, to learn a technique for blowing your nose (which can be learned for nothing just by knowing which books to read).

Speak for yourself.  I spent quite the penny taking classes and studying the art of blowing your nose (a feat I have yet to completely master).  Next up, I'm gonna explore the artistry of washing your hands after using the bathroom!  :-P

everyone of the activities you have mentioned can be used as a form of meditation.

I think the objective of this summit is to promote the teaching of TM to "at risk youths", for the betterment of society.  You know, less drugs & violence, more meditating.

Is Mike going to sing the TM Song off the 15 Big Ones album?

[Sheriff John Stone]

Is Mike going to sing the TM Song off the 15 Big Ones album?

What about "Everyone's In Love With You", Mike's tribute to the Maharishi...

[sofonanm]

Maharishi's top meditators should get together, unite their collective siddhis, resurrect Carl Wilson, and have some formation of the Beach Boys perform "All This Is That".

 

[tpesky]

In my mind All This is That is the best example of vocals with no Brian. Carl, Mike, Al ,(Bruce on harmony as well??) in their vocal primes just absolutely nail that song!

Mike Love:
Well, we came after the Beatles.
We’re used to that.
Particularly on the charts.
But,nonetheless, we were initiated into TM by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in Paris in December of ’67 and it was in this town,at the Plaza Hotel,that all the Beach Boys came and sat at Maharishi’s feet where a picture was taken by a photographer named Linda and it’s kind of a well-known photo.
We went from there,I went from there to Boston to hear Maharishi speak at the Harvard Law Forum and he blew my mind and because he walked out onstage,took a step, paused,took another step,paused.
At the third step,everybody rose up in the Harvard Law Forum,which is a pretty critical place.
I mean people with an intellect and there was a standing ovation in silence. Now,I’d been used to standing ovations,but a standing ovation in silence brought tears to my mind,to my eyes.
Maybe my mind, too.
It blew my mind.
But then, I called the hotel to find out about India and Maharishi answered and he said,“Are you coming to India?”I said,“Well, I guess.”“Well, bring the other guys.” “I don’t know if they’ll come, but I’ll be there” and we met all these great people on stage and it was a most fascinating time on a lot of levels.
One of the fun levels was a birthday song that the guys came up with which ended with,“Happy birthday, Michael Love.” It was great. It was so much fun and I remember being at the breakfast table when Paul came down with his acoustic guitar saying,“Listen to this,Mike.‘I flew in from Miami Beach BOAC’ It was unbelievable.
We had some nice talks and interaction. But anyway,the most fascinating thing of all to me other than that phenomenal stuff there was that the Maharishi was talking about world peace and an age of enlightenment and I think the David Lynch Foundation’s goal to teach a million children meditation is definitely an indication that there is definitely an age of enlightenment to be had and that’ll be like a million steps in the direction of world peace. Thanks.

No Bruce, just the three who wrote the song.  Plus a Blondie & Ricky rhythm section.

[The infamous Baldwin Organ]

On 'All This Is That', the vocal that Mike Love sang lead on in the live shows, sounds an awful lot like Alan to me on the recording. I've listened really carefully, and it always sounds much more like Al. Has anyone else had that experience?

[Shady]

Mike looks great, that was very interesting.

[sofonanm]

Pssh, Mike Love has never not looked great...

i used to be annoyed when i'd hear/read m. love tell that story about paul coming to breakfast with his guitar, but now i realize that he's just doing the same thing anyone and everyone does - telling fun stories from their lives mixed with varying degrees of self-celebration.

and after all it IS a fun story, especially considering that the beach boys and the beatles were at one time each other's competitors in the hit business.

i wonder, though... has paul ever told the story?

[Rocky]

i wonder, though... has paul ever told the story?

yeah, i'm sure paul just gets giddy bragging about how he hung out with the mike love

well, despite what brian says about mike, i think he seems like a cool/fun/interesting person to hang out with for a while. i look past mike's surface egotism and just see a proud man - proud of his life, his friends and family. and besides, go ahead and tell me you wouldn't be telling that story about paul for the rest of your life if it happened to you!

anyway, on the lighter side of things, i wonder if mike will tell david lynch to stop "fucking with the formula" since he makes Smile seem as innocent and straight forward as the alphabet with creations like the mindfuck Rabbits.
