Title: Carl and influence of MSIA on L.A. Light Post by: MBE on May 03, 2009, 04:20:11 AM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John-Roger
So little is known about Carl's personal life. I provided this link because in reading this I think his involvment with John-Roger influenced the title and the inscription of the "L.A. Light" album. What do you all think? Title: Re: Carl and influence of MSIA on L.A. Light Post by: Fun Is In on May 03, 2009, 11:43:12 AM Sorry, another question rather than an answer. Was Carl also involved in EST ("Werner Erhard"'s product)? Title: Re: Carl and influence of MSIA on L.A. Light Post by: MBE on May 03, 2009, 02:33:51 PM Yes around 1976 or so.

Title: Re: Carl and influence of MSIA on L.A. Light Post by: Loaf on May 04, 2009, 03:52:22 AM Since we're talking about the LA Light Album, and having read the wiki entry on J-R, I'll paraphrase a joke from Annie Hall... was John-Roger trying to do to Carl what The Beach Boys did to Walter Yetnikoff?
Title: Re: Carl and influence of MSIA on L.A. Light Post by: MBE on May 04, 2009, 04:36:09 AM I hope those stories aren't true! John-Roger spoke at Carl's funeral so there was no falling out between them.

I've spent my whole life drifting Towards an elusive sun I would have wandered forever If your breeze hadn't come And you just could be my anchor You are my northern star That navigates me home Don't need to search no more exotic islands No that I found you're right where I belong Never been so much at home as I am Loving you is right where I belong In my mind we're together Even when I'm alone My heart leaves you never Never will our love grow old My destination forever You are my shining star that navigates me home Don't need to search no more exotic islands Now that I found you're right where I belong Never been as much at home as I am Loving you is right where I belong Don't need to search no more exotic islands Now that I found you're right where I belong Never been as much at home as I am Loving you is right where I belong Title: Re: Carl and influence of MSIA on L.A.
