Do you guys remember Richard Provost, who as a premie and an Initiator used to play guitar and sing that song "All Night Long" at festivals around 1979-1980 and Rawat would get up and dance? I think Rich Neal and his "Dance, Dance, Dance" kind of usurpt Richard.
Anyhow, I remember Richard was at COLL and also in Boston and toured the Midwest as an Initiator around 1978. I remember him as a really nice guy and even then a good guitar player.
He has apparently gone on to have a career as a classical guitarist, teaches guitar and is part of this performing duo. It looks like he has done well.
I remember he left the cult around the time I did, or a little later, maybe mid-80s. His vegetables do not appear to have rotted
