ML: Without meditation, I'd probably be dead. It has allowed me to transcend all the bothersome things that happen during the course of a day, a week, a month, a career or a lifetime. I go beyond a certain level of thought. Some of those types of thoughts come from a stressed physiology. They appear in your mind as, "I want to kill that person," "I want to kick the dog," "I want to hurt my wife," "I want to emotionally abuse people."
Ummm... no, they don't, Mike.

I love how the text is arranged strategically so that Mike seems to be fixating on it, tell-tale heart style, with his blue, vulture-like, wandering right eye. Of course in reality there was probably a sushi bar/massage parlor/naked lady positioned just outside the frame.

Closer now to the destination of his culinary pilgrimage, Love made a beeline through the crowd into Quincy Market, weaving through the throngs of grazing tourists with his arm around his daughter. We pushed through the sensory overload of grilled meats, fried fish, pizzas, spices, and sweets that permeated the stuffy food court. Mango drinks and dosas from the Bombay Club were procured. "I love Indian food," Ambha explained. "My name is Indian.""It's actually an ancient goddess name," said her father as he searched for a table. He traveled to India for the first time in 1968 to take a course by the Maharishi. "It was the same time the Beatles were there. George Harrison and I had our birthday parties there the same month, thrown by the Maharishi," he said.A lengthy discussion on the history of transcendental meditation followed as Love unpacked the bag of dosas and spicy Indian soup, placing a spoon in our bowl and making sure we had enough napkins. His hands were bejeweled in a dazzling array of rings and bracelets. Love walked us through his techniques of chanting, meditation as a means to invoke the powers of nature, spiritual safaris to the temples of Southern India, and harnessing the powers of positive energy.A lot to take in between spoonfuls of lentils. He's been meditating daily since that first trip to India and even became a teacher of transcendental meditation."There is fascinating knowledge to be gained," he said.Indeed there is. All you have to do is listen.

Read Steven Gaines' early 80s Beach Boys tome for the first time recently and on that evidence every single one of the Boys was a shit (except maybe Bruce Johnston), and they were p racist as well. And yet still Mike came out on top (bottom).

Oh also in the "Heroes and Villains" book, all of the other Beach Boys disapprove of Brian dating a black woman and try to get her arrested so she can't follow them on tour. Al says something like “does he really have to put his arm around her”

Also one of Dennis's wives/gfs (clearly the one Gaines had the closest rapport with) calls a black bouncer at a Bill Graham venue the N word, and when Graham bans the group from his venues as a result Gaines clearly takes the wife/gf's side.

i mean i fucking LOVE brian dgmw and SMiLE is just... classic. very classic. but i've thought about this probably too much: i've just assumed they were all horribly racist in that goid old fashioned incorrigible old white person baby boomer "ya we're just kinda better than them" sorta way. i mean they came from the institution that co-signed brian's outright theft of chuck berry so they obviously are from a very racist system. not "fuck them all" outright forever but let's not feign any shock or outrage here. also perhaps i've just mentally prepared myself for the worst when it comes to establishment white men.
