[FairfieldLife] GURU MOTHER by Opus III

I just made my first contribution to the world of wikipedia. I wrote a bit about the house music album GURU MOTHER by Opus III. I first discovered this album in 1995 while visiting Mt. Abu in Rajasthan, India, where I had gone to visit the famous Jain Delwara Temples. I always stopped by cas

[FairfieldLife] a poetry break for you

Let there be many windows in your soul that all the glory of the universe may beautify it. Not the narrow pane of one poor creed can catch the radiant rays that shine from countless sources. Tear away the blinds of superstition; let the light pour through fair windows broad as truth itsel

[FairfieldLife] The US Versus John Lennon-- my review

The US Versus John Lennon Yesterday I went to Milwaukee and saw the new film The US Versus John Lennon. I had a read a couple of negative reviews, so I was skeptical going in. I found that some of the criticisms were valid, while others were not. First of all, one critic said there isn'

[FairfieldLife] The Ancient, Don't Kill the Whale, and Hippie Environmental Idealism

This whole discussion about the film Who Killed The Electric Car has got me thinking about the hippie ethos about the environment. Two YES songs came to mind--- The Ancient and Don't Kill The Whale. The Ancient deals with a kind of romanticism about ancient cultures that lived closed to the ear

[FairfieldLife] film: Who Killed The Electric Car? Like, duh...

The new documentary film WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR is quite excellent, but hardly surprising. If you need a good dose of intellectual tree hugging, then this is the film for you. Not surprisingly, the Bush administration (or the oil oligarchy as they known) in collusion with big oil companies

[FairfieldLife] Bush's America: we are now officially a torture state!

The Republican-controlled House and Senate have just legalized torture. The bill that was passed, and that psycho Bush will undoubtedly sign (cuz he came up with the idea in the first place), is basically the legalization of torture, detentions without due process of law, secret detention, and j

[FairfieldLife] Inside Yes: poor Tales fans

I just watched the DVD "Inside Yes 1968-1973" a critical review of the band's early career. For TALES FROM TOPOGRAPHIC OCEANS fans, it's pretty sad. It ends with TALES, and the comments are pretty negative. The only unqualified positive statement comes from Chris Stilmant (a sound engineer) wh

I just finished reading Donovan's new autobiography, and now am starting Timothy Leary's Design for Dying, a book he wrote as he was readying himself for the great adventure of dying. Leary makes an interesting observation about the 60s quest: "In the 1960s, we promiscuously started raising

[FairfieldLife] Holi and bhang

I just found this website that discusses the uses of bhang (a cannabis drink) in conjunction with a Hindu holiday on Thursday, March 16. I already knew that Shiva was the God of intoxicants, but had never heard of the ritual use of this drug in conjunction with this particular holiday. Here' s a

[FairfieldLife] Graciella Zogbi: Daivi Shakti

Graciella Zogbi: Daivi Shakti I thought this CD would be a dream come true-- I imagined perfectly recorded swaramandals and serene Indian singing. The singing isn't bad-- probably good by Vedic standards but not the kind that appeals to a many Westerners, even those accustomed to listening to
