Something To Meditate On
Paul McCartney will headline “Change Begins Within” April 4 at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall.
Joining Macca are special guests Ringo Starr, Sheryl Crow, Donovan, Eddie Vedder, Ben Harper, Moby, Paul Horn, Bettye LaVette and Jim James.
Celebrities on hand will include Lynch, Russell Simmons, Laura Dern and surprise guests.
The evening will raise funds to teach one million at-risk children to meditate, something McCartney learned how to do in 1968 when he and the rest of The Beatles, along with Donovan and Horn, traveled to India to study with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
The singer said learning Transcendental Meditation on the trip has served him well over the years.
“In moments of madness, it has helped me find moments of serenity,” McCartney explained. Sounds like a good start for a song.
Tickets for the benefit go on sale March 9.
