Hey Edg, I forgot to thank you for the heads up on the movie Once. I really enjoyed it and felt very in the know when I saw them win at the Academy Awards. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Duveyoung [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I watched Across The Universe, last night, and after having been massively disappointed by the Las Vegas Cirque du Soleil LOVE production at $150 a ticket, I was extraordinarily uplifted by Across The Universe for a $2.95 rental fee. It was everything I didn't get from LOVE. YMMV, but I was swept up and back in time, and the Beatle songs were so freshened by the creative use of their words being put into the mouths of characters as spoken dialog, and the singing of those words were often almost spoken with a delicacy that was sweet indeed. The singing abilities were incredible for such a young cast -- it would be hard to say who was the best -- they all smacked it good. I think it's one of the cleverest bits of writing ever, and the acting was tops, and the plot good enough to move the drama along. If you lived through the era and identified with hippism and the Beatles, I recommend the movie with my highest rating. And the art was often transporting -- two lovers sitting on a rotting dock by an abandoned warehouse was a tableau of silence. Here's a tell: you know how almost always when the credits begin to roll, well, you brush the popcorn off your lap and leave the theater? Well, when the credits rolled for Across The Universe, my love and I slowly danced and nuzzled to the final song and read the credits with delight as we discovered that YEAH it WAS Joe Cocker, it WAS Bono -- like that, and all the while we swooned in deep poignant remembrances. That, and, oh yeah, we held hands throughout the film -- it was that good for us. I've never danced to credits before, let me tell ya. So that's me and she, but I'm guessin' you too if you are over, say, 50 years of age, are American or British, and liked the Beatles song book. I'm going to buy the DVD Edg PS - Rent Balls of Fury for some of the same seeker reasons, but you get to laugh your ass off too. I think any TB would see themselves in it.

You could never pin him down, but he often spread rumors through his right hand man who used to be with the CIA and told about the planes he saved. How Maharishi came through the storm - on a plane. And the pilot was getting worried they couldn't land. When Maharishi looked up with one foul look, according to the man who works for him, everything was OK and they landed. After that I thought: lies. But who was that woman that looks like Jean Simmons who keeps going to him for private interviews? She musta been about forty, forty-five. Kept tellin' about her husband 'cause he wasn't there. I was always tryin' to get a private audience with the Maharishi and he kept refusing. I know only one thing. He musta had some of his own, it musta been that little Indian piece; she came with the tailor and would sit at his feet and that was one in five hundred. The rest had to wait like good American people, in lines to see the master walkin' on the petals who lived in a million dollar staccato house overlookin' the Himalayas. He looked holy. YOKO: But he was a sex maniac... JOHN: I couldn't say that, but he certainly wasn't... YOKO: Holy. JOHN: In the true sense of the word, that is.

Apparently George was an avid TMer but he later became involved with ISKCON, whose favorite phrase is 'Hare Krishna'. Very seldom have I heard any of the Krishna sectarians call their guru a 'Guru Dev', more often they call him a 'Hari Bol'. The foundation of ISKCON in Britain was closely associated with certain members of the pop group The Beatles, particularly George Harrison.

Turq, thanks for pointing this article out, which states: The flavor of the song was heavily influenced by Lennon's, and The Beatles' short-lived interest in Transcendental Meditation in late 1967early 1968, when the song was composed. Based on this he added the mantra Jai guru deva om to the piece, which became the link to the chorus. The Sanskrit phrase is a sentence fragment whose words could have many meanings, but roughly translate to salutations to the guru, then the mystic syllable om.

Sorry to intrude in such nice projection but John wrote the song when his wife Cynthea kept running her mouth BEFORE they went to Rishikesh. Did you ever write a song Off?

Trying to turn his clever word salad into an advocacy piece for TM just shows how little you understand about his music. OTHO everything you say is true FOR YOU.
