Born during Rome Hans Jayanti in 1977 and Rawat talked about it from his throne, and bragged about giving the poor child that ugly name.  Poor girl.  I'm sure she never lived it down in Middle School.  Kids can be so cruel, you know.

I listened to Devendra Banhart's CD, the one with the Lord of the Universe on the cover, and it's highly uneven, I would say.  I recall a few songs weren't bad, but a couple were so awful I had to skip over them.

Devendra, however, seems to look on Rawat and his cult as a kind of curious part of his history.  He's not into it, but doesn't seem to really oppose it either.  I wonder if he is being sued by Stroock, Stroock & Lavin on behalf of Elan Vital for copyright infringement for putting Rawat on his album cover, Krishna outfit and all.
