The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi died in the Netherlands yesterday at “around” the age of 91, because when you’re a wizened spiritual leader your age gets to be vague and mysterious. He did a lot of stuff other than mentor the Beatles in their declining years, of course, but there’s a reason the the word “Beatles” appears eight words into the AP’s 816-word obit. [AP]

Mike Love isn’t mentioned at all. Makes sense to me. (Even though he made the BBs record an album at the Maharishi’s college in Iowa.)
@mike a: It’s because he’s a Republican douchebag now. I saw Mike Love take a shower, by the way. I lost the capacity for love that day.
According to the always reliable Beatles fansites, the original lyrics to “Sexy Sadie”:
“Maharishi
You little twat
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Oh, you cunt.”
Yoko’s done a commendable job erasing the side of Lennon from the general public memory, no?
baby you’re a rich man. but you can’t take it with you. everybody’s got something to hide except for me and my monkey.
