A Note From The Future (2008)

I find it curious that Indian culture has found its way into the aspects of American culture that I encounter most frequently. I credit the Beatles and in particular George Harrison with this. Kirtan and Raga have made their way back to me via my study of tantra. In fact, on my recent trip to Boulder, CO I found the Maharishi's teachings to be alive and well. Again, it is curious that he passed recently. Blessings be upon his soul. Thank you, India.

More Of 1968 Music

Even though seeing the Jimi Hendrix Experience live was the highlight of 1968 as far as I was concerned, there was quite a bit more that happened that year musically:

• The Beatles traveled to India to visit the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at Rishikesh and released The White Album.
• The Rolling Stones released Beggars Banquet
• Simon and Garfunkel released Bookends
  
• Big Brother and the Holding Company (with Janis Joplin) released Cheap Thrills
• Jefferson Airplane released Crown of Creation
  
• The Jimi Hendrix Experience released Electric Ladyland
  
• Donovan released The Hurdy Gurdy Man
  
• The Moody Blues released In Search of the Lost Chord
• Bob Dylan released John Wesley Harding
  
• Aretha Franklin released Lady Soul
  
• Traffic released Traffic
• The Doors released Waiting For The Sun
• The Mothers of Invention released We're Only In It For The Money

...but I was a bit behind the times, living in Hawaii
