If the Rajas are going to be at the concert -- then this could be quite the blow-out -- and ultimately a good thing.
I don't follow Howard much -- but I have hard him talk about TM and he likes it for its benefits. And he interviewed Maharishi twice -- and clearly liked the guy. And I would guess he thinks kids in school could benefit. But it would be hard to believe that he is buying into raja or world view thing. I would guess he signed up to do this gig because David or Paul called him up and said "lets do it for the kids." At the after concert parties (apparently a big thing for this event) he could very well get so turned off by the organization if the rajas are there (pundits too?) I can imagine him ranting big time how TM is a good thing -- especially for kids -- but the organization behind it total sucks -- and then a few Tony fart jokes -- and he will begin to champion secular TM as as stand alone thing and "FU TMO". Might even do his own benefit. And Sheryl Crowe doesn't strike me as a push over. Nor wanting a Tom Cruise moment -- being tied to a cult of kings and all. She might have some counter TMO post concert interviews "the technique i sgreat BUT ..." I figured David was cool enough to make this a secular event -- about the kids -- not a TMO raja bash. If its the latter -- it may blow the fluff of the TMO off the map. And secular meditation will find its place rising from the ashes. (perhaps Mahrishi's plan all along, ha!)
