Randy, and you know this how? I can't say they are related either, however, I did hear this from the person that claims to have gotten directly from Vasudeva's shishya. As I said earlier, I thought there might be a mis-communication, but this friend swore by it and said in no way was it a misunderstanding. I chose not to believe it, but in the light of what is said here on FFL, I have to realize maybe my friend was right and I have been in denial about it all along. Who knows? I have to take the Beatle's attitude, M wasn't the God I thought he was, he's just a man, maybe a very special man, but a man very good at putting on a show. Still love him though!
