There are events in everyone’s life that can be associated to a time and place.
Some events are universal such as the Kennedy assassination, Moon Landing, Berlin
wall coming down or the Red Sox winning the World Series and reversing the curse.
Other events are universal but on a personal level like the birth of a child, your
first date,
getting your driving license.
Then there are events that spawn and are witnessed by only a few.
This is that type of event.
In the late eighties the Rude Guru ventured off to America on a quest to gather
a group of musicians to spread his wisdom through verse and merriment.
His journey
took him to Montreal, Canada where he found his willing disciples. He worked them
hard and gave them instruction to go out and spread his teachings and
so they did.
Playing in club after club attracting followers, who soon became known as "Rude Gurupies".
They soared to a high level of mediocrity spreading the word of the Rude Guru.
Then without notice disbanded.
The Rude Guru looked inward and questioned his efforts. Had his experiment failed?
No!
What had happened was inline with his teachings. Lives were touched and memories
cherished. In his eyes this was all good.
So listen to the music enjoy
the pictures and say hurray….hurray for the Rude Guru.
