Ravi Shankar: 'My Music Not For Addicts'
uncredited writer, KRLA Beat, 29 July 1967
"THE MESSAGE I'm trying to get through is that our music is very sacred to us and is not meant for people who are alcoholic, or who are addicts, or who misbehave, because it is a music which has been handed down from our religious background for our listeners."
