I've discussed Lou Reed and his rejuvenation from drugged out rocker to enlightenment seeking tai chi practitioner on other environmental blogs before. Well, from an old friend comes this in-depth interview that outlines Reed's quarter-century interest in the martial arts and forays into meditation and music to inspire his practice.
Upon learning that filmmaker David Lynch was an avid devotee of transcendental meditation, and had created a foundation to bring meditation into schools, Reed said:
"Very, very shameful that that part of our education is completely ignored. It’s just really tragic. I think that’s why our foreign policy is what it is but that’s a whole other story. Anyway, good for David Lynch, isn’t that great?
I, for one, would have to agree.
