The Maharishi, The Beach Boys and the Heathens
Loraine Alterman, New York Magazine, 6 March 1968
"IN BALTIMORE last night in the middle of the Maharishi's talk, a kid got up and yelled 'Maharishi, you're full of it'." Beach Boy Bruce Johnston related this incident as he sat in the front row of an audience filled with about 1200 kids.
