Dear Friends,
Somthing I can share about KSCI, since I ran the crew that built
the transmitter on top of the mountain, the San Burnadino mountains.
It was a lot of fun, but being metal we were shut down some days as
fire danger was to hight to burn or weild. Anyway, when the
inauguration of the station took place we, the crew was invited. we
also got to go to the Merv Griffin shows. Anyway Maharishi came and
the studio was invatation only but still full. Kinny Loggins came and
sang a song " run river run " to MMY and it was a big hit of his at
the time, but it took on a whole new meaning when he sang it, like
wow man, this cosmic river flowing through everything.
The TMO never really used KSCI to anywhere near it's potential,
selling time to spanish language shows mostly. But, as licenses
became much harder to get, the place became quite valuable just for
that. So typical of MMY he sold it and of course many many millions
on the deal.
So many of the TMO's greatest places were sold, and they were
going successfully for the movement, just MMY would rather have the
money, which is of course my personal opinion.
I do miss the good old days, but everything changes but me.
Sincerely,
Chris
