Fragments From A Conversation With Carlos Devadip Santana 1975:
On 27 December 1975, at a spiritual retreat in Puerto Rico, Sri Chinmoy discussed music with his devoted disciples, Devadip Carlos Santana and Tom Coster, a member of Devadip's band. Earlier in the day, the band had given a concert in San Juan. Following are portions of Sri Chinmoy's remarks:

Music is an indispensable thing. We don't have to know what it looks like or what it does. Its very existence keeps us alive. Music means Self-expansion and oneness. The Self expands through music. The Self that expands is not the individual self but the unlimited Self. Music is the expansion of unlimited Reality. When the Unlimited expands, that is music.
210
Music is God's Dream. God is dreaming at every moment through music. His Dream is called the cosmic Reality, the universal Reality. If we don't dream, reality cannot come into existence. Reality is always there inside dream. So you can say that this moment reality is the body and dream is the heart, and the next moment reality is the heart and dream is the body.

The Vancouver Sun's Amy O'Brian wasn't overly impressed with Van Halen's show
Wednesday evening, writing The 13,000 or so fans seemed to love the rocking' reunion of Eddie Van Halen, his drummer brother Alex and the notorious David Lee Roth. But there was also something slightly sad and stale about the tunes, the performance, the bare chests, and the male bravado. Maybe it had something to do with her almost getting knocked out by a flying beer bottle thrown from the Viaduct as she was entering the building. Or maybe, like I said yesterday, "We don't get a second chance to make a first impression."
I'm from the pre-rock era myself, but I did embrace some of it during the Seventies and Eighties, when a lot of today's aging rockers were in their prime. So who did I like? Laugh if you care to, but I was a big fan of Pink Floyd. I also collected some of Led Zep's stuff, and an assortment of others. I never did collect any Van Halen, but I do have a nearly-mint 12-inch LP of David Lee Roth's "Crazy From The Heat". And how many of you remember Three Dog Night's Greatest Hits, or Heart's "Dreamboat Annie"? Anyone remember those picture-LPs, the ones that usually looked better than they sounded?
Ah, The Seventies - I almost-remember them well... Our 'Friendly Neighbourhood Witch'
