Beatles legends still meditate on Maharishi
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, sharing a US stage tonight for a charity concert, say they are still meditative about their trip to India.
The two remaining Beatles will be at New York’s Radio City Music Hall at the event, headlined by McCartney.
McCartney told a press conference that the Maharishi had given the band a “great gift”.
He said it came at a time “when we were looking for something to kind of stabilise us towards the end of the crazy 1960s”.
Tonight’s concert, called Change Begins Within, is in aid of the David Lynch Foundation, which has an initiative to teach one million at-risk youths mediation techniques.
Besides Starr, McCartney will be joined by Sheryl Crow, Donovan, Eddie Vedder, Ben Harper, Moby, Paul Horn, Bettye LaVette and some surprise guests.
