Back To The 70's

[gungeek]

My favorite TV show at that time was 'space 1999'.... sa channel 9 yata. I also remember people putting colored cellophane sa B&W TV screens (ang sakit sa mata)....

[MTBCommuter]

Those cellophanes were put to 'protect' the viewer from harmful radiation. hehehehe

I remember our old zenith TV console has that one.

vacuum tubes pa noon, so you have to wait a long time to get the tubes warmed up to see the program.

We also had a zenith b/w tv. Ang tagal mag-on tapos pag matagal nang bukas

parang ang init naman masyado.

I don't think Ananda Marga is Buddhist.  In their website, there's no mention of Buddha, which would be basic to Buddhists.  I think it's Hindu (someone correct me here, please).  My eldest brother belongs to a Hindu sect, even if he was born in New York and grew up in Quezon City (and graduated from UP).  Sometimes it seems that Hindus have more divisions (aka sects) than Christians.

 

The Ananda Marga really became known to Filipinos during the Karpov-Korchnoi chess championship showdown in Baguio.  TM, on the other hand, was made famous by the Beatles.  The downside of TM was that you had to consult a guru to get your own personal mantra. As for that Unified Field theory, well....

 

And I do remember those orange-robed bald fellows.  I still see some of them from time to time.  I believe they're Hari Krishna, but I could be wrong.  In any case, they look so happy.

you're right, pare - Hari Krishna was it....there was an explosion of these philosophies in the 70's.....

The Beatles' Across the Universe had the meditation word om very prominent in the lyrics...

Of course Hindu thinking had a great influence on George Harrison and that's why he hooked up with Ravi Shankar and the sitar back in those days...I remember watching the Concert for Bangladesh and I recall being bored and impatient with the first part because it featured Ravi Shankar playing sitar music for a good 30 minutes!

Bods, I bought the Concert for Bangladesh CD and you're right - Ravi Shankar dominated the first part. Many years later, there's a tribute concert for the late George Harrison (featuring his son Danny - who I swear looks exactly like his father in the 60s) where this time, Shankar's daughter played the sitar for what seemed like an eternity.

 

Back to Bangladesh - listening to it a good 30 years later, it's quite a compilation, I don't regret buying the 2-CD set. Eric Clapton, Leon Russel, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, Billy Preston. That was the first concert I saw with 2 drumers and I was so amazed how they could play in perfect synch.

Jai guru deva om . . .Nothing's gonna change my world. . .

 

If you're looking for a Beatles, specifically George Harrison song with heavy Hare Krishna influences, listen to Within You and Without You.

 

And then of course there's My Sweet Lord which came out in the 70s. With this song, George Harrison became the first ex-Beatle to hit the Billboard top 10 after the break-up.

 

And Concert for Bangladesh was the first benefit concert of its kind coming a good decade before Live Aid (mid-80s).

The concert looks and feels dated now but it remains a classic in the music world. First time I saw it on a laser disc - maybe the remastered DVD now looks better and improved....

Bangladesh was in total ruin in the 70's - I think it was due to famine, drought and their war for independence. That was the first super benefit concert and the model for all the benefit concerts that were to come later...

Storm and Mrs. Storm, our sincerest thanks for welcoming us into your lovely home!! The great wines, the sumptious food prepared, and the interesting stories shared will always be remembered and appreciated. And it was nice seeing you again, Bods!

 

A perfect evening with wonderful friends!

Yes Boss Gungeek I remember too well the Sci-Fi Space 1999. Si Martin Landau ang bida. Until now di pa sila nakagawa ng spaceship like the Eagle. Yung handheld walkie-talkie na me maliit na TV nagawa na ngayon di ba? How about the 6 million dollar man(Bionic Man). Common na ang Bionic from Medical to Industrial di ba?

Sir Skicker, yup i remember the 6 million dollar man... bida si Lee Majors dun....also Bionic Girl and Wonder Woman (linda carter)... favorite ko rin iyun Wild Wild West, Rat patrol, Kung Fu and Green Hornet (side kick pa Bruce Lee)... halos yata ng movies ni Bruce Lee napanood ko...

[skicker]

Boss Gungeek..I am sure paborito nating lahat: COMBAT. One of the stars died from a helo crash-si Vic Morrow...syempre we all loved KIrby yung lefty yun di ba? Gustong Gusto ko noon ang mga Tommy Gun nila.

Pareng Storm,

 

I have posted in the wine thread our appreciation to you, Mrs Storm and Bods for a lovely evening we had last Friday.

 

I would like to add that your home and the art in it exudes very positive energy. Looking at your art collection I felt I was in a time warp .... the handbook of sketches (obviously early works), that one of a kind work hanging in your entertainment center, those variations of sambong in oil and watercolor, including your early works in "the runner" and the "knight". I look at them with awe and admiration. Of course, your home is in itself an artpiece!!!

 

Again, thank you!

Thank you Pareng Masi. The pleasure was ours also. We really had an 'artful' evening and dapat maulit muli and this time kasama na sina Pareng Pinoy, mareng Augustmoon, sis Lipsick, pareng 16track, pati sana si JT and the rest of the gang who share the 70s moment.

 

Cheers and let's drink to that. :thumbsupsmiley:
