Just a smile would lighten everything
Sexy Sadie she's the latest and the greatest of them all.

She made a fool of everyone
Sexy Sadie.

However big you think you are
Sexy Sadie

So from the photo posted, the Sexy Sadie gang that DASA refers to are the Maharishi, the Beatles, Donovan, Mike Love of the Beachboys, Mia Farrow and her sister Prudence Farrow.

According to the Beatles anthology book, the song Sexie Sadie was written by McCartney and Lennon based on their illusionment with the Maharishi because he supposedly hit on someone who was either Mia Farrows' sister Prudence or someone who looked like her. They also eventually wrote a song called “Dear Prudence” which is about her not wanting to come out of her room while they all were visiting Maharishi’s ashram. The song “Fool on the Hill” is also supposed to about the Maharishi.

Here is some more trivial mindless information that you can store in your short term memory and forget in 5 minutes concerning the song Sexy Sadie. When Charlie Manson heard the song, he thought it was a message from the Beatles to him, concerning his girlfriend Susan “Sadie” Atkins. He eventually thought all the Beatles songs on the White Album were messages from a higher source and thought the song “Piggies” was a message to go out and start killing people, like they did with Sharon Tate, who had the word Piggie etched into her dead pregnant body.

Now back to the more important posts that you may want to use your more long term memory on—the lost early teachings that Mr Dasa got from Prabhupada but were transmogrified by the Zonal KC leaders who had more in common with Charlie Manson then the Jagat Guru they tried to imitate.

Mr Dasa do not forget that we were protected from some of the sexy sadie gang, We were given the benidiction from the Guitar God himself...... "may you never hear surf music again" Click to view attachment

That was the inside knowledge that i was given, now what were you from the Supreme Servitor God, our Prabhupada?

show us that you are not just another yourmaster variant!

Not to start a flame war, but since when is this famous songwriting duo referred to as McCartney and Lennon? LENNON and McCartney, please!!!!! Especially since Sexy Sadie is specificially a Lennon composition. McCartney is a talented man, but Lennon WAS the Beatles, IMNSHO.

Sorry, it just is that John Lennon is one of my sacred cows and I couldn't let that one slip.

BTW here's a cool site I came across today:
http://www.lennon.net/
The Liverpool Lennons : The Lennon family w/o Yoko's "John Lennon TM" point of view.

Another Preyo rant:
Yoko tends to act as if she f'in owns his name. I really hate what she has done to Lennon's memory. She was ready to divorce him when he died and only stayed to promote her own career. I used to admire her, but in retrospect she really used him badly and I can't help but wonder if she was some kind of agent sent to neutralize his potential impact. He was a total emotional and creative cripple around her - and cripples were the thing he feared most (crippled inside???).

ha I will not have anyone dissing Yoko on my watch.

Some of the best work Lennon ever did was because of Yoko when she left him and he was left a strange mess sobbing mother into the songs.

The deplorable Paul McCartney went on some lame campaign to switch the names around so that his name goes first so that is why you may see it backwards now.

Uh Oh! no fighting over beatles or bugs!

eva eva eva, sorry but yoko is a ho, paul is a musican genious on par with John -thus the Beatles, lets get our facts straight

Sure Paul is good for making cute little melodies with his permanent surprised facial expressions. go Paul. I can't go into my laborious explanations I have about this but I will leave you with the words of Thurston Moore, a song about Yoko:

bow down to the queen of noise
the way is home
home is gold
and you know
you're my soul
cause you know
blood is gold
and you go
all the way
the way is home
home is gold
and you know
you're my soul, you're my soul,
ono soul, ono soul

Yoko is a performance artist the Beatles are a pop band. Sure the audience of the Beatles is not going to appreciate what Yoko is about. (Leave that to me, Thurston Moore, and Satsvarupa of course).

Personally, I find the wanderings and meanderings one finds in a given thread to be a real treat.

Staying on topic is so straight!

Hey, I used to really dig Yoko. I had Grapefruit. I had all her albums through Milk and Honey and I still really like Approximately Infinite Universe and even some of her more experimental stuff. I "get" a lot of her avant garde stuff and can see what John saw in her. So don't get me wrong here. I do like Yoko for her own work and have been disappointed over missing some of her exhibits that have come to Boston.

What I don't like is how she's handled/commercialized John's legacy - that's all - especially since she was ready to ditch him so close to the time he died. I was also upset about some of the alleged stories of Yoko controlling John in his later years through occult means.

There was another devotee - Indulekha (yes, the one married to your very unfavorite devotee at GN, Meta) who was a big Yoko fan. It was kind of fun to know someone else who could also talk about Fly or Approximately Infinite Universe.

I just remembered that there was this rap song a couple of years back (I think it was a Dr. Dre rap) that my son would play that I couldn't stand because it only had two notes with the beat. It was just begging for some Yoko human instrument vocals to dress it up. I would drive my son crazy because every time this song would come on the radio - or my son would play it in my presence, I would add the Yoko touch!

Paul is just a dork, pretty melody but prettyness is cheap. Which is why he had it out for John, which we can all see now with his ridiculous campaigns to place his name before Lennon on all the records after Lennon's death, which proves what me and all other true Beatles fans have been saying about him for years. And also his eager willingness to accept the prefix Sir before his name, which is even more absurd. I can hear John laughing as we speak.

I don't know how much we can blame Yoko for John turning into an emotional cripple when he was with her, that's like saying it is Courtney Love's fault that Kurt Cobain killed himself. I just can't ever fly with these attributions made to the wives for their troubled husbands as if the husbands are infants of some powering woman, oh please. First there is Paul, now John is made out to be superdork. If that is the case, he has no one to blame but himself for being a dork!

I am not sure how Yoko handled John's legacy badly or what she has done to tar John's memory.

But I think I will now turn this into my personal Yoko Ono appreciation page.

Here is parts from the manifesto of the Fluxus group, which Yoko belonged to, written by her friend and colleague George Maciunas in 1965:

To establish artists' non-elitist status in society. He must demonstrate his own dispensibility, he must demonstrate self-sufficiency of [from] the audience. He must demonstrate that anything can substitute art and anyone can do it. Therefore this art must be simple, amusing, concerned with insignificances and have no commodity or institutional value. It must be unlimited, obtainable by all and eventually produced by all. The artist doing art to justify his income however must demonstrate that only he can do art. Art therefore must appear to be complex, intellectual, exclusive, indispensable, inspired. To raise its commodity value it is made to be rare, limited in quantity and therefore accesible not to the masses but to the social elite.

Here is Yoko Ono's pivotal art commentary on Prabhupada's plagiarism:

PAINTING TO EXIST ONLY WHEN IT'S COPIED
OR PHOTOGRAPHED

Let people copy or photograph your paintings.
Destroy the originals.

1964 spring

Here is what her descendant Stewart Home has to say about it:

"Plagiarism enriches human language. It is a collective undertaking far removed from the post-modern "theories" of appropriation. Plagiarism implies a sense of history and leads to progressive social transformation..."

- Neoism, Plagiarism and Praxis

Wow, when I wrote McCartney and Lennon, it was just a random way of saying their names with no intention of trying to make a statement about who was better or should have their name first. Historically, it has always been Lennon and McCartney until Paul made some legal move to put his name first on songs he said he wrote. I love them both, the radical wild—more on the edge aspect of John and the simpler boyish wonderment of Paul. Put them together and you get the sound of iconic lunacy swimming in the brilliance of effervescent bodily fluids rising to the nearest ear canal...closest to home!

Lennon & McCartney
McCartney & Lennon
Lennon & McCartney
McCartney & Lennon
Lennon & McCartney
McCartney & Lennon

They are both equal in my mind and heart, but if anybody wants to fight for their favorite, that’s cool, for it’s Beatlemania all over again.

As for Yoko, she is the cats meow before the Purr, with claws of silk drawing out the mind mixed with milk & honey!!!! She makes grown men become boys without toys—creating images and sounds that make classicist drown in their own tears of bewilderment while searching for any semblance of their lost aural and visual umbilical chords.

Yoko is simply postmodern mental ejaculation, and for those who want their culture safe, run now immediately to your local pharmacy and get some brain condems…NOW!

Deep in the jungle where the mighty tiger lies
Bill and his elephants were taken by surprise
So Captain Marvel zapped him right between the eyes

ZAP

...Hey Bungalow Bill, what did you kill, Bungalow Bill?...

After what Evakurvan wrote about McCartney being the one who arranged this change in naming, I realized that Kalisurfer wrote what he was used to seeing or hearing. For some reason, I had a suspicion that this was the case even before Evakurvan's post. So consider my little rant against McCartney's action!

I have to disagree with Evakurvan about McCartney's talent. In the early days of the Beatles, McCartney was pure sap, but as the years went by, he really started to mature in his songwriting ability. McCartney is to be admired for his versatility to do many different styles of music and he is a real performer, unlike Lennon who really hated live performances after Beatlemania.

Still, to me, Lennon is unique and as I mentioned before, one of my sacred cows. In terms of lyrics, Lennon was supreme.

Moderator: I think this should move to a new thread so we don't take away from Mr. Dasa's posts. Can you do this? Thanks!

Peractum est.

Thanks!

review from amazon





I read this book back in the 80's when it came out and forget much of it, but I remember he had a unigue perspective being the personal Tarot reader for John and Yoko and they practically wouldn't leave the house unless they consulted the cards.

He didn't show Yoko in such a good light Eva I have to tell ya...and this is from their personal Oracle

Ok now for a bit of Trivia..

Song: 'Lookin Through a Glass Onion'

Question: What are they referring to in this song off 'The White Album'...

What is a 'Glass Onion'?

good for 50 pepperland pts.

yeah, Paul can be a little sappy granted, but his tunes work. Yoko cant sing, cant act, cant paint. sans lennon she would be a 70's japaneese porn star and thats about it. I cant even listen to baungalow bill cause her shrieky pshycho chourus contribution in the background. at leaast i think its her, whoever it is needs to be dubbed out.

And 'Glass Onion' was the name that John wanted to give the Iveys, when the band made the contract with Apple. But the Iveys didnt like the name 'Glass Onion', so they called themself 'Badfinger' ('Badfinger Boogie' was the original title of a 'Little help from my friends'.

That may describe the NAME Lennon wanted to give the Iveys..

But it does not answer WHAT a 'Glass Onion' is...

NEXT...!

something about testicles?

sorry but no mr. angrezi, I see your mind is right on time this Sunday afternoon..

NEXT..!

I'm ambigious about Yoko(the one word tyrant-like Saddam)'s art and music-i like both her experimental and slightly sillier, cheesier eighies stuff, but i think her catalogue also contains a lot which is throway in a bad sense. Similiarly with her art, though it's interesting, i don't know quite how original a lot of it is, but i do like her ideas for installations. I particularly love Fly.

I don't think she's perfect, and im unsure whether i'd like her as a person, but nonetheless i get very irritated by her demonisation. I understand people who think she's taken a far too buisnesslike approach to the Lennon legacy, but it seems odd that she'll get criticised by fans for releasing songs Lennon didn't want to see the light when, for instance, Jeff Buckley's family have done exactly the same thing. However, the fact that fans feel able to pass judgement on their 'hero''s actual relationship strikes me as obscenely possesive and presumptous. I'm sure she did have a few issues with possesiveness and emotional insecurity even major psychological problems. Does anyone seriously think Lenon was any different. It's pretty clear he could be cruel, confused, secretive, deluded e.t.c. all on his own.

And at the same time as wishing that they'd never married, those same fans seem to want her never to move on. If Yoko is seen, even now, with a man, it'll make tabloid news as proof that she never really loved Lennon, or that she's betrayed his memory. You have only to compare this to the tabloid reaction (i.e. sentimental-good for him, she would have wanted it)when McCartney got remarried to see how absurd this is.

P.S. Personally i wish Lennon had never met Phil Spector, who is in my eyes the worst catasphrophe to have befallen Pop (has anyone heard what he did to Death of a Ladies Man by Leonard Cohen?)

Handles on coffins.

your getting close

Glass Onion:
"..I told you about Strawberry Fields.." "..well here's another place you can go.." "..to see how the other half live, looking through a glass onion.." "..I told you about the walrus and me.." "..well here's another clue for you all, the walrus *was* Paul.." "..I told you about the fool on the hill.." "..listen to me, fixing a hole in the ocean.." "..looking through a glass onion.."
(a glass onion is a term used for a coffin with a glass panel over the top so you can see in, see how the other half live)

Maybe in olden times they would use the extra thick bottles used on ships for coffin windows?

It would be quite a sight after a couple of weeks - if you could see through the slime and condensation.

or maybe see out

In February, 1968, Paul Saltzman traveled to the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's ashram in Rishikesh, India to learn meditation. His time there was profoundly life-changing. While there, he met John, Paul, George and Ringo, and over the following days, as they hung out together, he took some photographs.

Mystery solved in Beatles spat with guru
Bad karma was over Fab Four's drug use, not moves on Mia Farrow

Daily Telegraph
Published: Sunday, February 19, 2006

The spat between the Beatles and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in 1968 became an instant pop legend as perhaps the most bitter bust-up in the era of Free Love.
Now, after almost four decades of rumour and counter-rumour, a confidant of both sides has gone public with revelations that could upset many of the band's fans.
The spiritualist and author Deepak Chopra, a former maharishi disciple and a friend of the late George Harrison, has said that contrary to popular myth, the row was nothing to do with claims that the maharishi made sexual advances on Mia Farrow, the actress and friend of the band.

Instead, he said, the maharishi, known as the founder of transcendental meditation, had objected to the group taking drugs at his home in Rishikesh, northern India.
Chopra told the Telegraph: "What isn't generally known is that the maharishi had got fed up with the Beatles taking drugs while they were at his ashram (spiritual home). They were smoking ganja (cannabis) and taking LSD. He hadn't come across anything like that before and he took a strong view."

The group had gone to the ashram in search of spiritual enlightenment, meditating during the day and writing songs in the evening. According to reports, they consumed no alcohol or drugs when they first arrived and kept to a strict vegetarian diet. A few weeks into their much-publicized sojourn, however, relations soured between the guru and the band's entourage.In a subsequent television interview, John Lennon and Paul McCartney said they had lost interest in the maharishi's teachings.

Chopra said of the rumour that the guru had misbehaved with Farrow, who was part of the entourage: "There was never any truth to stories about the maharishi's womanizing. When he was sick in the UK, he wouldn't even allow any female nurses near him. "As for the stuff about Mia Farrow, that was complete nonsense. I met her years later and she asked me to tell the maharishi that she still loved him," he said. Chopra said Harrison later apologized to the maharishi during a visit to his meditation centre at Vlodrop in Holland, where he now lives as a recluse. Nobody at the centre was available for comment.

I don't believe this for a second, Chopra was not even there with the Maharishi then, he was just a kid, he is just doin some PR backpeddlin.
I'm Sure Sexy Sadie never came accross ganja especially up in the Himalayas with all those Yogis in Rishikesh...and he never would lust after a young white american woman of course!

In a former Franciscan monastery, in the hills of Vlodrop, Netherlands, you will find a little 87 year old Yoda-ish man in deep trance…wondering what is causing his neural networks to bring up images of the Beatles and Mia Farrow. Could it be something buried deep in his unconscious?

With intense rubbing of his brow, he realizes that he is channeling WiFi broadband Internet through mere thought, bringing up the strange mental sight of English letters forming the words—Gaudiya Repercussions. This major interference with his pure state of cosmic consciousness is troubling!

”Oh how oh Lord…Oh how can I stop this onslaught of negativity from encroaching on my pure thought processes?” he cries, breaking 7 years of silence generated to create world peace! Images of Mike Love, John Lennon, Donovan and Mia sweep his awareness and sudden long lost desires brew up in his mind.

The power of Gaudiya Repercussions manifests again, as a new ban on a certain internet site takes place in the hills of Vlodrop.
