Eat your hearts out, alpacas! Ha! At http://www.jmdl.com/glossary/friendofspirit.cfm Joni says of Chvgyam Trungpa Rinpoche in an interview, >> He was the bad boy of Zen. I wrote a song about a visit I made to him called "Refuge of the Road." I consider him one of my great teachers, even though I saw him only three times. <edit> Chogyam Trungpa was the 11th Trungpa Tulku (a reincarnated lama) and what is called a "crazy wisdom" teacher from Tibet (recall that the term Crazy Wisdom is used in the song Strange Boy also on Hejira). >>
Did Joni write any songs about reincarnated ALPACAS?!? I DON'T FECKING *THINK* SO!! Vindicated again. Ah. Westbound, and rolling, Lama
