Subject: RE: BS: Montreal 60's Counterculture Question
thanks for the link John.. fine entertainment for a winter's day (or 2)...I'd love to work on something with you down the road...

The Krishna's are still around, but not as visible... they have a few restaurants in different cities... I don't know what happened to Mark, lost track of him and a few others whom I knew... there was a power struggle when their Master died, also copyright litigation against them for bootlegging Disney characters.... and you don't want to mess with Mickey... that would be plain Goofy...


they also had a heavily armed commune in West Va... so I guess Woodstock became Altamont for them too... those US devotees didn't mess around...

Can you escape ?.. sure, but it ain't easy...like any tight sect there's a lot of guilt thrown at the 'fallen one'.... nobody's encouraged to think for themselves... but they don't have exclusive rights on that...   anyhow, they were colourful, I liked some of the music and culture... the food wasn't too healthy, lots of white rice, white flour, white sugar....
'white on' I suppose....
