I didn't see anything at the site to indicate that bidding in its charity auctions was considered "selfless service," by David Lynch or anybody else. Did Barry perhaps only imagine this? Seems to me Duran Duran would be the ones doing the "selfless service," if anybody.
Also, interestingly, the "selfless giving" dude Barry goes on to cite appears to be something of a (harmless) religious fanatic (check out the video on the page). Most of the money the guy collects goes for the upkeep of churches. Is that what melted Barry's heart? Fine by me; I'm sure he's a very holy fellow. I just wondered whether Barry had grabbed the link from that clickbait site for gratuitous putdown purposes without paying much attention to the man's story. I can't imagine a better personification of what Nabby (and of course Maharishi) felt was the definition of "charity" or "selfless service." Bid against other people to spend time with a fave band, the money going to the DLF (and Maharishi's relatives), and you're cool. Not to mention the belief that having the money to bid with makes you one of the "elite," more highly evolved than others, and thus more worthy of respect. The kind of "selfless giving" that impresses me is more like this. Nabby will probably consider him a bum...possibly even a hillbilly... http://urbantimes.co/2014/02/the-reason-why-this-99-year-old-man-walks-miles-a-day-to-beg-for-money-will-melt-your-heart/ http://urbantimes.co/2014/02/the-reason-why-this-99-year-old-man-walks-miles-a-day-to-beg-for-money-will-melt-your-heart/ From: nablusoss1008 <no_re...@yahoogroups.com> To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, February 28, 2014 2:40 PM Subject: [FairfieldLife] Take a trip to the former Scorpion Land and meet DuranDuran Meet Duran Duran and Enjoy Exclusive Studio Time with the Band in London https://www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/492812 https://www.charitybuzz.com/catalog_items/492812
