Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Now Playing

Here's a followup, for Curtis and Willytex, of Bo playing later in life. I 
looked up his age, and it turns out that he was probably in his 70s when I saw 
him perform in New Mexico, although he claimed onstage to be in his 80s. Still, 
he never stopped rockin'...

When I lived in Santa Fe,  I used to see Bo Diddley all the time. He lived in a 
suburb of nearby Albuquerque, where he had once actually been Honorary Sheriff 
(Bo Diddley's A Gunslinger) and would play gigs at local clubs and casinos from 
time to time. He was in his 80s, and still put on one of the best stage shows 
I've ever seen. He was a FIERCE guitarist, still able to play up a storm, and 
in pretty much any style you can imagine. 

One of the best things about watching Bo perform was him interacting with each 
new
 band. That's right...he didn't have a band. What he'd do when someone hired 
him for a gig is call around that town and find out the name of the best young 
garage band in town. Then he'd call them up and say, "Hey, it's Bo Diddley. No, 
really. I've got a gig in your town on Saturday. Want to be my backup band?" 

He'd meet with them before the gig, expecting them to have learned his songs, 
and they'd jam for an hour or two just to make sure it was a good fit, and then 
they'd go onstage together. It was magic. You could tell that these kids were 
having the time of their lives playing behind one of the true legends of rock 
'n roll, and you could tell that Bo was having fun, too. 

Onstage he was funny, he was charming, and for an 80+ year-old-man he was 
damned sexy, too. A true legend, and to the end.

Excellent post.

I just started studying him seriously this year when I was getting into 
Afro-carribian rhythms. I got his Chess recordings box set and dug in. Rhythm 
king.

Now I include one of his songs in my sets and just lean on the rhythm using the 
guitar as a percussion instrument. Every verse is more hypnotic it is so much 
fun to sing.

Who Do You Love

I walk 47 miles of barbed wire,
I use a cobra-snake for a necktie,
I got a brand new house on the roadside,
Made from rattlesnake hide,
I got a brand new chimney made
 on top,
Made out of a human skull,
Now come on take a walk with me, arlene,
And tell me, who do you love? 

Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 

Tombstone hand and a graveyard mine,
Just 22 and I don't mind dying.

Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 

I rode around the town, use a
 rattlesnake whip,
Take it easy arlene, don't give me no lip,

Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 

Night was dark, but the sky was blue,
Down the alley, the ice-wagon flew,
Heard a bump, and somebody screamed,
You should have heard just what I seen.

Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 

Arlene took me by my hand,
And she said oh bo, you know I understand.

Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 
Who do you love? 
Who do you love?

 Velveeta poster next to my bed when we lived in Germany -
 must've been grade 4. And those mini Kraft marshmallows
 too. In Canada the mac and cheese is so popular any generic
 macaroni and cheese is referred to as "Kraft

 Fortunately, my mother was an amazing cook so no Kraft

 though.

 Yea, and Kraft caramels for dessert - the chocolate and the regular version. 
Never did like cheese though. I remember having a Velveeta poster next to my

marshmallows too. In Canada the mac and cheese is so popular any generic 
macaroni and cheese is referred to as "Kraft Dinner". That cracks me up every

for us. I did eat those caramels once in a while though.

Re: [FairfieldLife] New Useless Book on Meditating Fairfield, Iowa

You are still an idiot with a obivously TM Nazi mentality. Geoff Gilpin wrote a 
book about the TM Movement a long time ago called the Maharishi Effect. I've 
never read it. The OTHER man, Joseph Weber wrote the new book and interviewed 
me - thus far I have not seen my name in it. He interviewed me late in the 
process of his writing the book, but Buck in the Dome is mentioned prominently. 
Since you and he are so chummy about the faker Marshy and that crop circle 
baloney I would think you would like to see what Mr. Weber wrote about Bucky. 
But you juust can't take a chance that an objective observer who has no axe 
to grind against the TMO might find some things about them that are unsavory. I 
know that mentality - "if you ain't for us, yore agin us" - another goose 
stepping mental aberration of TM fanatics.

The Grateful Dead produced twenty-two vinyl albums from 1965 - 1995 with
maybe a hundred tape recordings. They had one hit record played on MTV in
1987, the only song to reach the Top 40: "Touch of Grey" (Garcia, Hunter) –
5:47 min.

Probably because they are just isolated cases. The research and studies 
on TM are very impressive when you consider that hardly anything was 
known about the physiological effects of meditation prior to 1965.


And, some of that research is being verified by research in Buddhist 
meditation. According to B. Alan Wallace, Samatha is "calm abiding," a 
type of meditation designed to enhance sustained voluntary attention; a 
subset of the broader family of samadhi meditation practices.


Reginald Ray at the Shambhala Mountain Cente says Samatha is 
single-pointed focus of mind; a "limb" of Raja yoga - dharana. So, it's 
just like TM in a way: meditation on objects.


Elizabeth Blackburn, a participant in the Shamatha Project meditation 
research, the most detailed look into deep meditation ever conducted has 
received the Nobel prize for medicine, along with two other colleagues 
for her research on telomeres.

In many cases what people say about your face is more devastating
than turning it into a caricature. We see political cartoons all the
time so it's really nothing new. But, when people post in plain text
some comments it can really get to you. It's like, so personal. Hey,

Re: [FairfieldLife] One for the Deadheads

Bob Weir lives in this town.  From what I've heard up on the bluff 
overlooking the Strait.  And according to a contractor who built some of 
the houses around here I have a rock star living in one of the big 
houses behind me in this block.  It may be the one I keep running into

Jerry Garcia grew up about 50 miles from where I did.  Too bad I didn't 
know  that back in the 1960s when he came over to our band house once.  
He undoubtedly knew the small town that I was from which would have

2014-04-24 Thread salyavin808


 Yes, that is interesting. That result isn't unexpected to me though!
 

 I wonder if the TMO had come up with the main excuse for problems in 
long-termer's by then or if they were just keeping quiet about it?
 

 And that is: You are still unstressing because you are acting as a washing 
machine for the environment and clearing stress out of society.
 

 Or even: You are releasing stress from a previous life! I heard that a few 
times.
 

 Shame the researchers hadn't heard of those, might have raised an eyebrow or 
two.
 

 I can answer why people stick at it when it's unpleasant though. It's the 
promise of the goal of enlightenment. That outweighs a lot of misery. Maybe 
coupled with group support and thus reinforcement of beliefs - confirmation 
that you are doing well. Even seeing heavy unstressing as a badge of pride. I 
did. Something good is happening! 
 

 I wonder if there has ever been an independent study of people who quit and 
found out why. Any ideas Lawson?

 you were banned, Bevan?
 Thanks for
 posting all those great pics, BTW. So fun to see. I was
 banned once it was realized I was part of Robin's group.
 This was about two and a half years after I graduated which
 was in 1980. By 1983 I was part of the excommunicated, the
 shunned, the nobodys who where destined for a pauper's
 grave.

 don't think I ever got a badge since we started group

So I suggest that instead of being a jackass like Nabby - check it out for 
yourself and see what you think. There are some excerpts available through 
Google Books that include part of Buck in the Dome's story.

   Well, the people who complained obviously thought
 it was critical, while you, who are exceedingly critical,
 thought it was excellent. It seems a reasonable assumption
 to assume that it was critical in the eyes of the people who
 were complaining...

 Geoff, are you a meditator?  Nice review.  I

 read another reviewer

 There have

 been other authors and academics show up looking to write

 their story

 of it in their way.  By contrast with them I have been

 wont-ing for a

 real journalist to show up for a long time.  Joseph Weber

 appears is

 that journalist.   It [meditating Fairfield, Iowa] is a

 fabulous

 story in human nature.  The scholarly world is just waking

 This new book will help bring more qualified people to it

 is

 not

 going to leave anytime soon.  The story is not over,

 Thanks Geoff, a lot of interesting stuff there. Shall have a good read at my 
leisure.
 

 I like this;
 

 The saddest stories come from people who gave their young lives to Maharishi 
but were forced to leave the fold. Some disagreed with TM movement policy and 
dared to speak out in public. Others were excommunicated for showing interest 
in other forms of spirituality. Is this really how enlightenment works?

 

 No. Nobody ever got enlightened by being a yes-man too terrified to have an 
opinion. It's how cults work though.

Whatever we agree with is always "excellent."

The question of whether or not he should have learned TM is an interesting one
though. What you are implying is that he would have lost his "objectivity" by
going through the TM course. Are you really afraid of that or are you afraid
that he would realize that certain criticisms of TM aren't valid?

There are plenty of criticisms that remain valid whether or not you learn TM,
of course.
