In 2009-2010, I spent 12 months touring North America with a conscious music band – 6 men (and one guitarist’s wife for a few of those months) – in an SUV vehicle which I’m certain shrank over time. During that entire year, we spent less than 10 nights in hotel rooms. The other 355 days
I’ve thought about this idea a lot. In about 100 years (maybe now it’s 125 or 150 as technology goes), the planet will essentially be completely rid of everyone that’s alive today and crawling with a completely new set of people. The whole myriad of people who play the characters in all the stories of
[Eckhart Tolle and Jim Carrey Goofing on Stage] ==================================== Two years ago I watched a YouTube video of actor/comedian Jim Carrey introducing Eckhart Tolle at an event in Hollywood called G.A.T.E. – the “Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment”. I saw that video while on tour with pop-spiritual music band Here II Here, and I was
Kaz and I were talking today … we drove along the beautiful Pacific Coast Highway, through a sun-drenched misty Malibu for a meeting in Ventura. As Here II Here finishes their 2nd album while simultaneously starting an indefinite sabbatical, we’ve had occasion to reflect on the past 2 years the 6 of us have
As we go on our final break for 2010, I’m in absolute awe (almost wrote “ewe” … that pic just cracks me up!) of what we just accomplished. On January 14, 2010, the 6 of us set out from an unusually chilly Miami, FL, packed sardine-tight into an SUV truck hauling a 12-foot trailer
I just returned from the Byron Katie 9-day School for the Work. I’m not going to give The School away. It’s far more precious that you meet it directly yourself … and in that school you truly meet your Self more convincingly than in any other experience I’ve ever had. I know that may
Last weekend, we performed 2 consecutive nights at “Harmony Festival”, perhaps northern California’s most important music festival all year. We had been hearing about it for months, and people kept telling me, “you’ve just GOTTA meet Debra Giusti, the founder of Harmony. She’ll love you guys!” Although Harmony Fest didn’t even know us 2
Our adorable Durango Tour Vehicle, parked beside a 4-ft bonsai tree ….. just kidding. We did something crazy powerful the other night while driving 8 hours from San Francisco to Ojai, CA. …. no, we didn’t lift a car off a trapped goat. This was even more powerful. We’ve been talking for over a year
“You can’t make $200,000 a year doing a $10 an hour job.” Carole King’s touring guitarist recently smacked me in the face with that idea. Pardon the name dropping, but it just makes the story so much more fun for me to tell. His name is Curtis, and he’s a beautiful human being. And its
Here’s one simple, powerful exercise we do every time we get in the Durango to drive to a new city. We go around our circle and simply say what we are grateful for. Everything and anything comes up – the delicious organic chocolate chip cookie I just ate; the wondrously green hills whizzing by breathtaking
