Lois Posted February 21, 2018 Spiritually practicing musicians This topic amuses me a long time ago, and I wouldn't talk about it, if not happen to know that famous punker singer Nina Hagen was engaged in Hindu practices. What the hell are spiritual practices? What the spiritual topics she may be thinking? Many famous artists are trying to practice. But what this practices are at all? How they can be serious? THEY CAN'T. I remember the footages as fag Moiseev went to pray for forgiveness in a Christian monastery. What the hell is a monastery, what he's going to do there? And so it is with all. They travel around the world, pester gurus, and guru feel bad about saying no - still talented, famous people. But will no one ever tell the truth, that it is a freak show, if for example Nina Hagen is doing some practices. Or the same Grebenshchikov. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel Karavaev Posted February 22, 2018 It seems that such things as fame and fame can be a serious impediment for inner practice. And the people who involved in the show business environment get some vicious influence which most likely removes them from the desire to engage in internal practices. I guess so.

The explanation for this is simple, that even though some may be spiritual, not all put it at the top of their priority list. Aint no reason to make this about Nungali, for cripes sake. That's just but putting a narrow minded stamp on your forehead, you just cant hold others to a standard you have in your head, you'll be disappointed every time. Maybe try to hold oneself to such mythical standard instead! I couldnt do both and had to prioritize - and I aint in any bands anymore. Some friends were about as shocked as if I told everyone here I'm not going to do breathwork practices any longer. But hey, performances and getting home at 3am are not conducive to cultivation, not when one has a normal day job, anyway. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why Homophobic Russia Loves Gender-Bending Pop Stars Recent laws and polls reveal an uptick in anti-gay sentiment, but paradoxically, Russians like their music acts as campy and flamboyant as possible. Russia has never been especially tolerant, but it has lately taken a turn toward outright ostracism of gays and bisexuals. Holding gay pride events, speaking in defense of gay rights, or equating gay and heterosexual relationships can now result in fines of up to $31,000. .... many of the country's most renowned musicians are (or appear to be) gay, bisexual, or cross-dressing. ... Amico's personal theory, though, is that Russians simply need an outlet to escape the binary heterosexuality that's been imposed on them. The law says you can't promote gay rights, but you sure as heck can rock out to a indefatigable drag queen. ... Though they continue to be adored by most, some LGBTQ stars have recently become the targets of slurs. A site on the Russian social network VKontakte calls Moiseev a fag and advocates raping him. YouTube videos of his songs are littered with homophobic comments. https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/08/why-homophobic-russia-loves-gender-bending-pop-stars/278833/ https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/08/why-homophobic-russia-loves-gender-bending-pop-stars/278833/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pavel Karavaev Posted March 1, 2018 But seriously, looking at Nina Hagen's photos, it seems that she really can't do spiritual practices since she looks like her state is far away from balance. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nungali Posted March 1, 2018 Yes, one should make themselves look peaceful and holy and calm for a photograph so one can look like they might be able to achieve a spiritual practice 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
