Ravi Shankar / Monterey Pop 1967

Few moments in the history of humanity are as crucial as this; and most that are are moments of death brought about by greed. This is the very moment an entire culture "woke up"... and not a life was lost.

2. One of my very few heroes.

“How does one put the spiritual significance of music on paper? Music transcends all languages and barriers and is the most beautiful communicative skill one can have. Music makes us all experience different emotions or the Navarasa as we call it. Different types of music, whether it is vocal or instrumental, Eastern or Western, Classical or Pop or folk from any part of the world can all be spiritual if it has the power to stir the soul of a person and transcend time for the moment. It makes one get goose-bumps in the body and mind and equates the highest mental orgasm and the release of grateful tears!”

3. Yeah RAVI!

Saw him at the Chicago Auditorium in 1987 with my wife and friends. Second row. I can still smell the incense.

He was awesome, will pop in East meets West tonight and chill.
