my nightmare Re: Devendra Banhart... -- Cynthia Top of thread Archive Posted by: aunt bea ® 10/20/2009, 08:53:42 Author Profile Alert Forum Admin My wife and also a good friend both love his music. I can't stand it. Fortunately our CD player is broken at the moment. There is definitely a thread in his whole presentation which just screams child of premies. I don't think he is a serious follower but the whole philosophy on which he was raised belongs to his canon of thought, "be like a child" and all that. I think it's probably similar to someone like me including my Jewish heritage in the way I think and act without actually participating in the religion itself. But he is talented and somehow he got Natalie Portman to be his girlfriend for a while so he must have something going for himself on a personal level. He seems like a pretty wild guy but it is always difficult to know what is projected public persona and what is real. The one thing I really like about him though is that he made a Sergeant Pepper-like album cover and put Prem in a Krishna suit on it. I'm guessing that wasn't officially sanctioned.

I suppose he would have gotten disinherited for that except for the fact that he is probably supporting his parents. Anyway yeah Beatles, so much fantastic music from that time period that gets short-shrifted because the Beatles and the Stones and a few other megastars get all the glory and attention. Maybe we should change this forum to an anti-Beatles slant. Previous Current page Next I Luv The Beatles! (ot).

My daughter is a ninja warrior. Here's a picture. She's ready for her next braids already. This time she wants purple I think. Thanks for the support at the time.

Watch for di dredlocks next  I'll check Devendra but nothing can touch the fab 4.  Hendrix was in another universe and I'll rock to Plant & Co all night, with Jefferson Starship for backup.   Best, turey the Dinosaur.

Re: Devendra Banhart... -- Cynthia Top of thread Archive Posted by: Nik ® 10/20/2009, 09:02:30 Author Profile Alert Forum Admin He got discussed wayback on Forum8 http://www.prem-rawat-talk.org/f8archive/posts/26140.html His Cripple Crow album cover feature was a Seargent Pepper take off and amongst the characters was Prem in full LOTU garb. Banhart's part of the nouveau hippy movement which means he's required to talk New Age bollocks but with a nod to "I'm being satirical really".  But I have to agree with him, he is both deeply conservative and deeply boring - but he knows what sells.
