...India in 1968, where they meditated under the guidance of the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, was largely Harrison's show. He and Patti had become devotees of the religious leader and arranged for the band to spend time at the maharishi's ashram in the Himalayan foothills. Other celebrities--Mia Farrow, the singer Donovan, Mike Love of the Beach Boys--went on retreat as well, and the episode is remembered as one of the pivotal, if oddest, events of the Flower Power '60s. Indisputably beautiful fruits of the getaway were the songs composed there. John said he wrote "hundreds"; Paul came...
...Harrison was able to survive the pressures of being a Beatle and an assault by a maniac, he couldn't beat cancer. But he made the passage to death easier for himself by believing so passionately for so long in a life after this one. Said his old friend Mia Farrow last week: "One of the things that was so inspiring was his lifelong search to know his God. And if God exists, I don't doubt that George has a place near him.

Then, cutting the radio, he turned to his commander: "Mike is MIA. They've taken his gun and his ammo. We have another guy. He managed to kill two of them with his pistol, but he's holed up in the north side with no ammo." As a hurried discussion of tactics began, Harley-Davidson went back to his radio. Then he cut in: "Shit. Let's stop...
...ever a show were designed to make Broadway forget its troubles, it is Mamma Mia! The frothy musical, built around the songs of the hugely popular (and critically patronized) '70s Swedish rock group Abba, was created to bring happiness wherever it goes--and so far it has. The show has been a sellout in London since it opened there 2 1/2 years ago, and it has broken box-office records almost everywhere else it has played, including Toronto, Los Angeles and Boston.
