I am just an old hippie: John McLaughlin

ohn McLaughlin confesses he has lost count on the number of times he’s visited India. However, the self-confessed “Indophile” recalls how his love affair with the country began. “In the 60s, we (Westerners) were discussing the fundamental questions of life, and India is where we found the answers,” he says, adding, “We developed a taste for Indian food, wore Indian clothing, adopted Indian names and found a sound that connected to spirituality. Now I’m just an old hippie, who loves coming back to India”

    • One of the greatest guitarists in the world. I was it the first Mahavishnu Orchestra gig in Puerto Rico at the Mar i Sol 3 day concert.festival It was 1 in the afternoon, I had just gotten off on LSD and this unknown band took the stage,
      When I saw JM in a white robe and carrying a double necked Gibson SG I thought to myself this is going to be garbage. Then they played. It was the most amazing set I ever witnessed.
