Get Ready! Three films coming soon to Casa Luz!
Friday evening February 24: "One Track Heart", The Story of Krishna Das In 1970, Jeffrey Kagel walked away from the American dream of rock 'n' roll stardom, turning down the chance to record as lead singer for the band soon-to-be the Blue Oyster Cult. Instead, he sold all his possessions and moved from the suburbs of Long Island to the foothills of the Himalayas in search of happiness and a little-known saint named Neem Karoli Baba. "One Track Heart" follows his journey to India and back, witnessing his struggles with depression and drug abuse, to his eventual emergence as Krishna Das, world-renowned spiritual teacher and Grammy nominated chant master. This is an inspiring and touching doucmentary! Showtime: 7:30
Featuring interviews with Ram Das (LSD Icon Richard Alpert), Rick Rubin (Grammy Award winning Producer), Sharon Salzberg (NY Times bestselling author), Daniel Goleman (two-time Pulitzer Prize nominee), and many others. Musical score by J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr) & Devadas.

Re: Get Ready! Three Films coming to Casa Luz this week!
I am looking forward to all three of these films. "One Track Heart" will be new to me, but the other two . . . well, I saw the Huitchol film when it was shown previously here in La Manz. It is marvelously fascinating, short though it is. Having seen it twice on that first showing, I am looking forward to absorbing more of the visuals as I was previously focussed on the subtitles. As far as "Bye Bye Blues" goes . . . I will be seeing it for the fifth or sixth time! Dang! I love this film.
