I dream of seeing the two remaining Beatles perform live, and tonight I found out that just such an opportunity has presented itself to me. But goodness, at what cost?
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr will be headlining a benefit concert at Radio City Music Hall on April 4, which is fabulous because I happen to be living in New York City right now. Their philanthropic efforts are being made for the advancement of the David Lynch Foundation, which all sounded very nice to me until I learned what said foundation is for: evidently, the David Lynch Foundation has raised millions of dollars to teach students, teachers, and parents the tenets and techniques of – wait for it – Transcendental Meditation.
Holy shit.
I don’t even need to say that there are far more worthy causes in the world, and the fact that this organization exists is a baffling disappointment to me…
…but I really do wanna’ see the Beatles.
